This IPL hair removal machine is the better version of the Remington I-Light Pro, hence why this IPL6000P version has the extra ‘Pro Plus’ added to the hair removal machine name. You can buy online here.
If you are thinking of getting laser hair removal, and have decided that this is what you want only to be confounded by the crazy costs attached with each session you will need to go through, maybe it is time to take a step back and re-valuate a little.
Think, what is it you want, to not have to worry about body hair right? And what is it you don’t have? Oodles of money to throw away – right so what do you do? Go back to the hell-hole that is waxing and plucking and of course the very worst – shaving?
No!
Think again! You are strapped for cash but want to get laser hair removal done – then get it! Only do it at home! Home permanent hair removal machines are a dime a dozen and while not all of them work there are quite a few that make, meet and surpass the mark. Remington’s Pro Plus is the front runner of them all. While the Remington actually runs on technology that is based on Intense Pulsated Light, and targets the hair roots by traveling down the follicle instead of targeting melanin like most other products on the hair removal line.
The Remington Pro Plus is nearly identical to the Remington IPL6000USA, which comes in a particularly pretty combination of bronze and white, and instead comes in a light lavender and white combination. However while the two devices may look the same, they do have on very particular difference!
Where the Remington IPL6000USA gives us a long six months of hairless bikini lines, the Remington Pro Plus actually goes as far as to claim permanent hair reduction, there is not many that can claim that in the ‘home devices’ realm!

The Reasons the Remington Pro Plus Made it Onto the Top Ten list
As for why the Remington Pro Plus made it to the top ten of the list, well, let’s run down it’s specifications shall we?
The Remington hair removal machine which is safe to use at home, uses a propriety pro-pulse technology that is cleared by the FDA, which gives us the ability to enjoy this technological breakthrough, which uses light energy to disable the hair follicle, without breaking the bank or without having to leave the private comfort of our homes.
It has a two centimeter square rectangle, head which is one of the largest heads available and requires only four flashes per square inch of skin. Furthermore the product does not result in any sort of burns, or require any additional creams and gels in order to be used. The device also doesn’t have to be charged which is always a plus, and can instead be used straight up from the box – completely safe!
Results of the Remington I-Light Pro Plus
As an olive toned female of generations back European descent (obviously I am not the fair skin fair hair combination), it is hardly surprising that I have a lot of dark black hair in a lot of unfortunate places. Can you understand, like truly understand what that means?
It means that unless I maintain a steady regime of plucking, tweezing, waxing, I can never hope to wear anything that isn’t the equivalent of a burka like ever!
This Remington IPL machine, was a dream to use.
To sum up, it is an easy to use hand device, has a pretty long extension cord which allows you to move around and use it pretty flexibly. The thing I loved the most about using it was that you didn’t have to spend time drawing this grid on your skin or anything, you could simply use it as it was, and the treatment window part is pretty big so it’s a pretty quick process once you get used to it – only takes me about twenty-five minutes or so to do each of my legs.
You can finish it in one quick go – before you get busy with something else.
Overview of the Remington I-Light Pro Plus
The best of this machine is that you see visible results in about 3-6 months. I know that may seem like forever – but to be able to say after that specific period that you are legitimately hair free – PERMANENTLY – I would totally say it’s worth it!

I recently turned 40 and realized I’ve been shaving my lower arms for a couple years and now I have throat/neck hairs!?! And I can’t keep up with plucking my fem-stache! This is getting ridiculous.. So I started thinking “what do celebrities do? Are they waxing all the time or with the money they have, are they doing laser?”
Which is how I came upon this site. I’m seriously thinking of saving for the Top rated Remington at home machine. My vanity is winning, dang it! Thanks for your honest and real input.
Lynnae… My name is Lynnae, not Lynnae, stupid autocorrect!
Lynnae, glad to be of help to you. Yes go for the Quartz if you want the best Remington machine. Thankfully, these home machines are not as expensive as they used to be!
Hi Ann, first, thank you so much for posting your website and the comparisons for home laser treatments. I’ve been wanting to buy one for myself for a long time. I’m leaning towards the Remington Pro Plus because it’s affordable and has the cord. I was just wondering, do any of these work on eyebrows? I’m not quite “uni-brow” but it is an embarrassing feature on my face.
Thanks!
Hi Nadine, none of the machines work on the eyebrows, no manufacturer advises using any machine from the cheek line upwards so that includes eyebrows and forehead. Sorry for the late reply also. The Pro Plus is a good machine, also look at the Remington Quartz, it’s better than the Plus. Your welcome!
Ann,
I’m a 28 year old male looking for a good permanent hair removal product. I have very pale skin and very dark hair. After reading reviews and watching videos I’m looking at either the Remington or Bellalite. Can you tell me why you ranked the regular pro plus so much higher than the Quartz yet you claim the Quartz is better?
Thanks!
Hi Brad. Pretty much the reason I ranked it is due to ‘affordability’, it’s a machine that is affordable and has good results for the average user in terms of price of the product and effectiveness in comparison to other machines. That is the reason why. Yes the Quartz is the best machine manufactured by Remington but for the average user, the Pro Plus might be just someone needs. Trying to decide between the Remington and Bellalite, I would go for the Remington.
Hi Ann!
Why is the quartz better then the pro plus? I’m trying to decide which one of this I want to buy..
Thank u!!
Hi Fede. The quartz is the newest machine by Remington, it has longer lasting cartridges (more pulses) and as the machine is newer, it has the latest technology for permanent hair removal. That is why the quartz is better than the pro plus, its the most advanced and most effective technology for hair removal.
i bought this machine. Every where reviews r really good but no one mentioned how many times a week or month i should do this.
please help. Thanks
Hi Sadia. Once every 2 weeks is recommended to use the machine. Try that for 2 months and see how your results go, you may individually may need to do it every week if your hair growth is quite fast.
Hi .I am sanita. . I am having very much hairs in my face. . I cannot even show my face to others . Is it worth buying the product. If I purchase the product , and use it only for face , how many days will it come. Please reply. . Thanku in adavance.
Hi Sanita, I would use the Tria 4X for your face, it is safer and more effective. I am so sorry to hear that you are so self conscious about your facial hair. You will definitely need this machine to remove your facial hair forever and feel better about yourself. Here is more details about the Tria, http://laserhairadvice.com/reviews/tria-4x-hair-removal-laser/
The only problem is that the tria goes for $500. While its better than paying $1000 at a professional, it’s still a little steep. I was wanting to use something for my face as well, but was hoping to find something for less (than the tria) that was still effective. The Remington was looking promising until I came across this comment ! Disappointed
Why can’t you use the Remington on the face?
Hi Lauren. Some people do use it on their face against recommendations, it’s just Remington have another machine which has been ‘approved safe’ to use on face, of course, at a slightly higher price – don’t ask me why?!?!?!!?. If you just want something affordable PRIMARILY for your face, why don’t you try this machine here???? I’ve written more about it here: http://laserhairadvice.com/reviews/tria-hair-removal-laser-precision/
Hi, I was wondering what the difference is between the Pro and the Pro Plus, other than the price? They both take the same replacement cartridge, yet the Pro Plus is supposed to deliver permanent results and the Pro does not. Thanks
Hi Lisa. There is quite a big difference between the Pro and Pro Plus. Firstly, the Pro is the oldest model from Remington, the Pro Plus is not so old, hence with newer models, you get newer and more effective technology. What does this mean? Effectively you don’t need to do as many treatments to get results and you get results quicker than the older version. Because the Pro has slower technology, you will need to do more treatments and you will need a lot more treatments to eventually get the permanent results you are after. You’ll get non existent hair growth from the Pro Plus within 1 year – you basically get what you pay for with these machines, advancement in technology is everything!
Hi can anyone tell me it the name quartz stays the same for this model in europe ? Cant seem to find a quartz anywere here in holland.
Hi Giellion. Good question. If you are from Holland, you probably need to purchase from here (I checked and it looks like they will deliver to you). This is the Remington I-Light, they have all Remington machines, and yes they are called something different outside the US.
Hi, I am an Asian with very thick and dark black hairs on my full body that I want to get rid of completely. My skin tone is light-dark brown. My body hairs are so thick that I even shy going for Xray, ultrasound, body checkup etc due to medical reasons….forgot to mention I have never removed my shirt on a beach fearing people might freak out confusing me to a beast.. please help suggesting the best one for me. my age is 33.
Hi Waqas
Oh dear, you poor thing, you shouldn’t be so worried about your body hair, it is very normal for men and I don’t think people will call you a beast. Most men have lots of thick dark and coarse chest and back hair, it’s very common so don’t feel so embarrassed.
How dark is your skin tone because you said ‘light-dark brown’ so I am a little confused? If your skin is not dark (so light skin or light brown), I recommend the best Remington machine which is this one HERE. That will get rid of hair in the areas that you want the best.
Hi Ann… lovely to hear back from you so quickly… really appreciate that… my skin tone is between light-brown to medium-brown in fact (I checked different tones on web and this is the closest I could match). I wish if there was an option on this page to upload your skin tone (just a few cm area) that could help you in determining via your own expert eyes 😉 as an idea you can say fairer than Will Smith but darker than Johnny Depp (thinking of Pirates of the Caribbean
Hi Waqas, sorry for replying so late, your comment got missed somehow. I hope it’s not to late to help you out?!? Excellent comparisons you have made – that really helps me out. Just as long as you are not dark like Will Smith you should be fine. Medium brown skin/tanned skin is ok with the machine I recommended last. Do you have the one I sent you last?
Hi Ann…. Thanks for replying… yeah I have placed an order for the machine… what is your recommendation for accessories e.g. any gel, goggles, protective stuff etc? Do I need to shave my body before therapy or trimming (to 1-3mm) is ok? What should be the frequency? any watch-out before/after the therapy e.g. moisturiser before or sun block after? Appreciate your time and guidance
Hi Waqas,
Excellent and yes, there is a few things you will need to buy and do. I’ve written 2 articles that might help you out.
1. How to Prepare For Laser/IPL Hair Removal
2. How to Look After Your Skin After Laser Hair Removal
These two articles will assist you for pre and post treatment care. Also, shave the day before or the morning of is better. I would avoid the hair growing past the surface of the skin. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I’ve had professional laser hair removal on my legs in the past, which worked great. Now that I’m older I’m beginning to get some dark chin and lip hair, but also longer light hair on my chin and neck. Is there a product that you would work for both these types of hair?
Yes sure, this brand has two machines, older model and new model. Newer model is worth the money. Safe to use on face and body and only machine for both blonde and dark hairs as that’s what you are after. You can read more about the brand here: http://laserhairadvice.com/reviews/tanda-me-smooth-elos/
Hello,
I have type four shin type and I have really dark hairs actually black. I ave been doing laser did my fourth today. However not seeing any results. I wait 4-6 weeks between treatment but still nothing. What I have noticed is that my hair grows really fast. After each treatment in about two weeks I already have a visible stubble reaching about 2-3 millimeters. I am very hairy and I want a permanent hair removal system for my bikini area and chin. Also i get really really bad ingrowns. Waxing and even cream removal gives me ingrowns. Helpppp.
Hi Jonell, since you said that your hair grows really fast, waiting 4 to 6 weeks doing professional/laser clinic treatments is too long for you. I have a friend also that her hair grows super fast, she used to do professional treatments every 3 weeks (instead of the recommended 4-6 weeks) because she was the same as you, no results, the non-treatment time was just too long so it wasn’t having the proper effect (you need to time the treatment time right in order to heat the hair follicle up at the right growth stage). Did you just want one for bikini and chin or for all over body?
Hi I’m looking to replace the cartridge in my Remington ilight pro plus. I can only find ilight pro or ilight pro plus quartz. Please help, thanks Katie
Hi Katie. Sorry for my late reply, did you end up finding the cartridges ok?
Hello!
I just ordered the remington ilight pro plus quartz and it’s coming in tomorrow. I was just wondering if I could use it completely on my bikini area? Or it is only for the bikini line? Thank you!
Hi Ashley. Generally recommended for bikini line only (but most women use on bikini ‘area’)
Just do a test patch prior and use on the lowest setting
