JOVS Venus Pro Review – Salon-Level Hair-Removal Experience At Home

Although I’m not particularly hairy for a lady, I still think I have too many hairs under my arm or along my bikini line. So, having dedicated tons of time to reading up the pros and cons of using lasers at home, I decided to give it a try. And what better way to start than with one of the best IPL hair removal devices on the market—the JOVS Venus Pro.

It’s the first of its kind to offer an anti-ageing skincare treatment, serving as a facial device and a hair removal tool. The head also rotates 180-degrees, making it easy to maneuver.

Promising countless impressive features, I decided to put the new tool through its paces, testing its design, ease of use, value for money, and results, to find out if it lives up to its name.

JOVS Venus Pro Review – What Is It?

The JOVS Venus Pro skin rejuvenation and hair removal tool uses intense pulsed light energy (IPL) to disable your hair follicles, hindering and eventually stopping hair regrowth. 

The machine comes with a dedicated ‘SR’ mode and ‘SR’ flash window to rejuvenate your skin. When two works in synergy, the PL flashes target melanin and haemoglobin in your dermis (outer skin layer), producing gentle heat that boosts circulation, reduces inflammation, and stimulates skin healing through improved collagen production. The result? Expect to see a brighter complexion, decreased redness and sun damage, as well as firmer and smoother skin.

First-Impression – Sleek Design

At first glance, this is easily the most stylish and luxurious IPL device I have seen. Featuring matte metal finish and visually pleasing emerald green color, it’s super smooth to the touch and would make a great addition to your vanity.

It looks and feels expensive—no white cheap plastic. Even the double tier box is well-thought-out and feels pleasurable to unpack.

Features – Versatile IPL Hair Removal Device

A. Six Attachment Heads

The JOVS Venus Pro comes with six attachment heads that are tailored to address your desired treated area, including your face, legs, underarms, and bikini line. You’re spoiled with choices. 

B. LED Skincare Treatment

And unlike any other IPL machine on the market, this particular one includes an LED skincare attachment, therefore, once you’ve used the device for removing hairs, you can switch on the “skin rejuvenation” mode whereby the machine will convert into a red-light beauty skincare device to deliver a relaxing at-home facial. The anti-ageing treatment prompts skin cells to repair themselves and become healthier over time, defying signs of ageing, and ultimately, revealing firmer, and brighter skin. With that, you know you’re getting more bang for your buck.

C. 180-Degree Rotating Head

Other sublime features worth noting about JOVS Venus Pro IPL hair removal device include the 180-degree rotating head that makes it comfortable, easy and beginner-friendly when removing hair from hard-to-reach spots, such as the nether regions.

D. Extra Adaptor Case

The device includes an adaptor case which means if you need to zap your hairs abroad, you won’t have to pack a separate travel adaptor to fit into an international socket—it’s already there for you in a mini plastic case.

E. Rapid Light Pulses

While older IPL treatments emit light with one single pulse, this high-powered device continuously produces gentle yet rapid pulses of light. As a matter of fact, this new generation device can emit up to 500,000 flashes compared to its rivals which are between 90,000 and 250,000 flashes.

Performance – A Learning Curve

Once the attachment head was in place, I went in to shave off my underarm hair and cleansed the area properly to ensure that it’s free of leftover deodorant, body lotion, and even sweat, as advised. Before zapping any area of your body, it’s important to test the desired treated area with the machine prior, to make sure your skin wouldn’t react negatively to the light exposure. 

With any of the modes, I highly recommend you to begin at level one and gradually work your way up according to your pain tolerance. The higher levels may feel like small electric shocks, which can be uncomfortable and painful to a beginner, but you’ll get used to it eventually.

I must stress that when used as instructed, the device is relatively painless. Having said that, do expect a slight tingle rather than any unbearable discomfort. Assuming you do experience pain, I urge you to stop immediately.

The only pitfall of the JOVS Venus Pro was the noise of its cooling fan, which was rather loud, almost like the lowest setting of a hairdryer.

As directed by the brand, I held the attachment head directly and vertically on my skin for optimal exposure. By holding down the lightning bolt button for about three seconds, you will activate the auto-mode, which will then allow the device to get to work itself, taking a lot of clock-watching out of the equation.

To mitigate skin burn (of which there was very minimal), I activated the cooling mode with the touch-control button, in order to make the experience slightly more pleasurable for me.

I was impressed by the automatic switch off feature, when I was interrupted several times during my session. The sound of the fan, nevertheless, still keeps going even in cooling-down mode. Another great feature I need to point out is that whenever the device overheats, you will see an “error” signal on the screen which will stop the device from working immediately. 

With all that being said, despite all the state-of-the-art features and nice extra touches, the device isn’t portable. In my case, I had to opt for an extension cord to plug it in so I could sit comfortably with the device in my hand. A bit of downer, but once you’re used to the flow, the machine is quite easy to operate even for a first-timer.

Results – Noticeably Smoother Skin and Less Hair

How quickly will you see results from the JOVS Venus Pro IPL hair removal device, you may ask. In my experience, having used the device about three to four times a week over the course of a month, my underarm is significantly smoother, and my regrown hair is more spare and thinner, too! The results have encouraged me to move on to other areas of my body while keeping up the work on my underarms.

JOVS Venus PRO Review – My Verdict

Although I was a tad bit critical at first, this machine did an amazing job. My experience wasn’t at all painful, uncomfortable, or anything in between. It’s thus far the best-looking IPL device on the market: it’s sleek, stylish, lightweight, and has easy-to-understand instructions.

If you’re looking to zap away hair from several areas of your body and experience some added skincare benefits, look no further than JOVS Venus Pro, then you will probably be able to justify the hefty price tag. Plus, if you weigh in your waxing appointments, it may even save you more money down the road. If there was ever a beauty product to shell out on and invest in, this is most definitely it.
