I have waited several years after IPL consumer devices were first introduced until I purchased one, because I wanted to make sure they are not total fakes. I don't know any tech stuff, but it's not laser; just some painless light impulses heating up the hair roots, making them fall out over time. Nowadays all the big companies make them (e.g. philips ) and I bought one for a whopping 200 Euro. I am absolutely and positively convinced of that thing. It beats sticky waxing, hair bleaching, stinky skin-burning hair removal mousses, and godawful fucking epilating. Only little shaving left required to finish off the hair I was to lazy to zap. Unless this is what you mean with "laser treatment" (though it sounds different) that you had, I would implore you to invest that money and give it a try, to give you a chance of the same relief that I felt. Though it does depend on your skin type and willingess to invest the time to cover your skin in all the desired places:

I got normal caucasian skin, tan well, brown hair; when I shave my legs, the stubbles look awfully black. That kind of hair works really well for IPL though.

Pro:

It is painless; if it stings, the device needs to have a few buttons to reduce intensity. Check beforehand. It is not supposed to sting or hurt. If it does sting for one zap, it is still literaly a shitton less painful than epilation (even compared to my battery operated underwater epilation device, which is supposed to take away a little pain due to water pressure)
It is more effective than epilation, even though I am sloppy when using the IPL. Epilation in my case rips off hair, so I only ever get about 75%. IPL does much more.
It is supposed to be used on shaven skin to zap into the stubbles; no premptive hair growing required which I need to hide from humanity until I can epilate it away

It takes about 5-6 sessions until all hair really falls out. Except for the black underarm hair and bikini area hair. About 80%-90% of that one usually falls out within a week of my first session in spring (I get lazy in winter)

Cons:

Needs repeating monthly, starts with sessions every other week
small zap area, takes time until you covered all the skin
does not show immediately results and you will not know for a couple of weeks if it really works on your skin tone and hair colour and keeps one thinking that it is all a big old scam
eventually the devices lamp will burn out (~250.000 zaps depending on vendor) and you can buy a complete new device for another whopping 200 Euro
