DEESS GP590 IPL Hair Removal System

Unlimited-flash IPL with a freezing-point cooled window and HR, SR and AC lamp filters.

Our verdict

The GP590 sells freedom from arithmetic: unlimited flashes, no cartridges, and a window cooled to near freezing so sessions feel closer to numb than hot. In exchange you give up sensor automation and flagship polish, and you take responsibility for levels yourself. For a household sharing one device across several areas, that trade can be the right one.

What we like

  • Unlimited flashes with no replacement cartridges to buy
  • TEC ice cooling brings the contact point to about 45 degrees F for near-numb flashes
  • Three lamp functions in one kit: hair removal plus skin rejuvenation and acne care filters
  • Automatic glide mode flashes every 0.9 seconds for steady leg coverage

What to watch out for

  • No skin-tone sensor, so manual level discipline is essential
  • Larger corded handset is less nimble on the upper lip than compact rivals
  • Brand documentation and support are thinner than Braun or Philips

What owners report: DEESS GP590 IPL Hair Removal System

Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.

Most praised

  • Never counting flashes changes how freely owners treat large areas
  • The freezing window makes flashes feel close to numb on legs and arms
  • Swappable lamps give one device a face, body and skin-care routine

Common complaints

  • The chunky handset is awkward around the upper lip and chin curves
  • Manual levels mean a careless start can run hotter than intended
  • Instructions lean on translation, so setup takes a careful first read

Who it is for

Budget-aware households treating multiple areas and users who are comfortable setting manual levels against a tone chart.

Unlimited flashes change the math

Most IPL ownership math is lamp math: divide the flash count by your routine and price the device per year. The GP590 removes the variable entirely, which matters most on legs, the largest area, and in homes where two people run courses on one handset.

Freezing window, manual levels

TEC cooling brings the contact point to about 45 degrees F per DEESS documentation, colder than sapphire rivals, and owners feel flashes as pressure more than heat. The other side of the design is five manual levels with no tone sensor, so the included chart and a patch test are not optional reading.

Three lamps in the drawer

Beyond the hair-removal lamp, the kit's SR and AC filters cover skin rejuvenation and acne care routines. They are secondary to the hair-removal brief, but they make the device a shared bathroom tool rather than a single-purpose purchase, and the automatic glide mode flashing every 0.9 seconds keeps the main job moving.

Questions, answered

Do the lamps ever need replacing?

No. The GP590 is rated for unlimited flashes with no replacement cartridges, which is the core of its value case.

Is it suitable for the face?

The maker lists the face among its treatment areas. Use the lowest comfortable levels below the cheekbones and follow the manual's facial guidance exactly.

How cold does the window get?

DEESS rates the ice-cooling contact point at about 45 degrees F, which is why owners describe flashes as near numb rather than hot.
