Question 1

Hello, can anyone please tell me what is the difference between sc1999 and sc2007, except the bikini attachment and that sc2007 is cordless?

Accepted Answer

from my research I remember that sc2007 does not have the integrated skin tone sensor which stops the device from flashing darker skin areas and for me this sensor is not a good thing as it stops on slightly darker skin so if you don't have this problem the sc 1997 would be fine and another difference is the size of the light exit window seems larger in sc 2007 although it is mentioned to be 4 cms in both devices but it seems a bit larger in sc 2007 and last thing in this attachment for sc 1997 it is just flat plastic but for sc 2007 the frame of the attachment head is divided into 8 parts that should be touching your skin at a 90 degree angle in order to flash I am not sure if it is useful or not but it is one more difference between the two models

Question 2

Is it worth the extra for the version with the bikini attachment?

Accepted Answer

I bought this version because of the bikini attachment. waited so long for it to arrive. when it arrive the attachment didnt work properly, but i was so frustrated that i didnt want to spend more time to solve this problem and since then im using the body piece for all areas, including bikini area and face. so far no problems, i just reduce the intensity for more sensible skin

Question 3

Is the only difference between this model and the Bri956 the fact it can be cordless? There is a big price difference.

Accepted Answer

Hi there. Thanks for asking. The BRI956 is a newer version on the market. It's very similar to the SC1999 though, although you can indeed use the BRI956 cordless and corded. Hope this helps. Cheers, Paul.

Question 4

Can we use the essential one for bikini area? does it work the same compared to other types? since it's good price i wonder if it works the same

Accepted Answer

Yes you can use the essential for the bikini area and face.
