This WORKS!
Had to get replacement cartridges because this actually works! Definitely have less hair growth and is much finer. It is a pain that you have to keep zapping yourself over and over (it isn't a constant beam) so it takes quite a bit of time, but it does work and it's totally worth it compared to what it costs to get it done at a laser center.

perfect for facial hair removal
I am a MtoF transsexual, and use this item on my face, it will not work on gray hairs, or dark skin, or even blond hairs, but will over time greatly reduce black facial hair to almost nothing. I can now after about 1 year of using it go about 2 days without shaving, I am shaving mostly gray hairs away and even after 24 hours my face is still soft and pretty smooth to the touch. my black facial hair is almost gone now.the cartridges say they are 1000 flashes. I had 2 that came with the unit I bought in 2013 and got 980 and 800 flashes out of each cartridge, I use about 50 flashes on my face during each treatment, and I know I'm not supposed to but I use this several times a week. this is more than recommended by manufacturer but I'm not burning my face.*******I want to say something about this seller that they are very much a 5 star company, we had shipping issues and they were top notch on making things right. buy from these people with confidence.*******

Very effective system, time consuming process
After using this for 8 months I'm very satisfied with the results. Fortunately, I had the black leg hair which gives the best results for this system. I also treated my arm hair which was a light brown, now gone! Armpit and genital hair are a bit more stubborn, perhaps cause it's a thicker hair shaft. A couple more treatments and I believe, maybe, just maybe I will forever be hair free! It takes patience, time and money to do thorough treatments. When I'm finished I'll have about a grand into it. This includes buying the system and all the cartridges. To me it's 100% worth it! My only wish would be for a larger cartridge to treat areas like legs. It's a tedious and time consuming process, since it only treats such a small area. This is why I gave it a 4 instead of 5 rating.

Used for almost 7 years
I got a Silk'n Flash&Go in 2015 and have never replaced the bulb. It worked really well when I first got it, then over the years I got lazy about occasional maintenance. I pulled it back out a few months ago (I use it on my face, thanks PCOS) and noticed it just didn't work well. I thought well of course I've never replaced a bulb, so I got this replacement kit, and using it again with a new bulb made all the difference. I could tell it was back to original power, and one session worked better than 10 with an old bulb. So.... if you have one and haven't replaced the bulb, DO IT! I only use it for my face so I use a minimal area. I am kind of the ideal candidate, with light skin and dark hair. I've never had burning issues but you have to beware when using something as powerful as this. It feels like a sharp snap with a rubber band but you shouldn't feel burned, I don't think. Anyway, this gadget lets me take care of an embarrassing problem at home instead of spending a lot of money going out somewhere to have it done.

Good results, but terrible quality.
Every time we get an order of these, the bulb breaks after the first or second use. We tried to replace it AGAIN and we never got a replacement. These things are supposed to last 1000 charges, and we can't even get them to last 2 days. It's completely unacceptable NOT to replace these when it's a faulty product in the first place. Don't get me wrong, it does help remove the hair, but when they're supposed to last more than one use and they don't, that is the fault of the producer and not the consumer.

work fine with older Flash & Go version
i have an older version of the Flash & go that at the time came with 5,000 flash lamp. After reading the reviews (thank btw) I purchased these 1000 flash lamps to replace. delivery was quick, well package and the replacement lamp works. P.S I agree with other reviewers, the intensity does seem to be a little stronger so i would advised lower settings at first. Recommend.

nowhere near 1000 pulses
Seriously, these die after about 100 pulses. But I guess it's still more economical than buying a whole new device.

Love this machine
I use this during the winter and do not have to shave all summer long. We live on a lake during the summer so I am in a bathing suit all day every day. There will be a few wispy hairs that show up. I use it a couple of times during the summer just for some touch up. I used to shave every other day. I have not shaved in two years. The more you use it the less you have to. It doesn’t work in one shot. Best thing I have ever done for my vanity.
