Home Laser Hair Removal Systems
Home laser hair removal systems have opened up the option to remove body hair via laser to many people who normally would not seek the services of a clinic. It is a relatively advanced method that offers an effective hair removal process with minimal pain and discomfort. All the benefits of being one of the closest things to permanent hair removal can now be had in the comfort of your own home on your time and the repeat sessions and touch ups without the additional cost.
The technique of using a laser to prevent hair from re-growing has been around for many years now. It works by targeting the root of the hair follicle and heating it with a laser until the hair is damaged and stops growing. It is much more effective than temporary solutions like shaving or waxing and much less painful than electrolysis which uses needles to send electric charges to damage the root of the hair.
These home laser hair removal machines are perfect for those who don’t regard hair removal as such a priority that they would take the time and effort to schedule an appointment with a clinic. In fact, a majority of people would like to benefit from laser hair removal but on such a small scale that it is hardly worth the effort. Now they can buy the device and perform the treatment themselves to whatever part of the body they desire. Only sensitive areas like the face should be avoided.
It can cost anything from $1,000 to $3,000 for the entire treatment at a clinic performed by a doctor. This is the approximate total cost of treating a typically sized area while a home device is more affordable costing around $800 to $1,000. Since laser hair removal requires multiple treatments over time to remove most of the hair, a take home device allows the consumer to do the procedure themselves and additional touch ups at no additional cost.
These products are quite effective and typically reduce hair by 50-80% when used properly. The results typically last over a year and touch ups are only needed about every other year. Of course to get optimal results would require regular treatment every 2 to 4 weeks for approximately 4 to 8 months and depends on the individual.
As long as the device is used properly and manufacturer instructions are followed, home laser hair removal machines are generally regarded as a very safe method of hair removal. The only major problems that can occur are when it is used on dark or tanned skin. As a general safety guidelines buy an FDA approved device, follow instructions and use common sense.
