What Is at Home Laser Hair Removal?

We all want that smooth hair free skin, and today there are many methods of hair removal available. Many of those options require constant upkeep, and allow the hair to still grow back quickly after a treatment. If you are looking for a more permanent solution, then laser hair removal may be perfect for you.

How Does Laser and IPL Light Hair Removal Devices Work?

Many of the lasers on the market now have IPL or intense pulsed light technology. The difference is that this type of laser uses the full spectrum of visible light, and true lasers only use one color on the spectrum. IPL technology allows our hair and skin to be treated more effectively.

The light beam or laser light is placed on the target area, and the light is absorbed by the pigment of the hair. This creates heat and affects the cells in the follicle of the hair. The hair’s growth is gradually reduced, and eventually will stop growing back. Multiple treatments are needed in order to make the target area hair grow smaller and thinner. The treatments will eventually lead to hair free skin that is smooth and long lasting.

Laser hair removal devices are more effective if they have IPL light. Your skin pigmentation and hair color can also play a role in how long treatment will take to keep your hair from growing back. The at-home laser devices on the market typically include a guide to determine how effective your treatments will be. They evaluate skin tone and hair color, so you understand what your results will be.

What Should I Look for When Choosing a Laser Device?

IPL laser options are the most effective, and when choosing a device check to see how many flashes the bulb will produce. Typically, these devices come with replaceable cartridges that can be changed as needed, and some devices have more limitations compared to others. Choosing a more versatile device is best in order to have the ability to treat multiple areas of your body, such as your underarms, bikini area, and legs. Another thing to look for when buying a laser device for home is to look to see what skin tones your device can treat. Some tools have different ranges compared to others, and you want to make sure your device can treat a broad range of skin tones.
