I know many of you are interested in doing hair removal yourselves. You may be wondering whether you could do hair removal with a laser at home and whether such home laser hair removal equipment is safe to use. You may be interested to know that some at-home laser removal treatment devices have already been approved by United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Home Laser Hair Removal Equipment
There are some laser hair removal products that are getting a lot of press and quickly gaining popularity, such as, for example, the Silk’n system, which uses a band of light to targets the hair, and the Tria, which utilizes a true laser, that also shows some success.
The laser removal kits that you can use at home cost far less than the conventional way of laser treatment at a laser hair clinic, and are much more convenient. They could potentially save you a lot of money and time on dermatologists appointments. Both the Silk’n and the Tria cost less than $1,000 and promise safe and permanent hair removal.
The idea of using a laser at home can be a little scary at first, but the convenience and cost savings compels people to give it a try. And oh yeah, the promise of never shaving your legs again? Sounds great.
These laser hair removal kits used at home are relatively simple to use, but cover small areas at a time, so you will need do your hair removal in several sessions. So, regardless of the laser hair removal at home kit that you choose to purchase, you need to remember that this process will be a lengthy one.
An important thing to keep in mind is that these home laser devices must be used by carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions, or you could end up with burns, scarring and loss of skin pigmentation. Make sure to note all warnings and side-affect, and take into consideration any allergies they may have, especially skin allergies.
Some specialist recommend that (even though the the FDA approved it’s safe), it should be done with medical assistance. The risks of any device are burning, redness, even scarring if done inappropriately.
Here is a brief article that will give you an overview of the hair removal at home with a laser kit.
Can I Get Quality Laser Hair Removal at Home?
By Gust LengletIf you’re interested in getting laser hair treatments but don’t want the hassle or expense of going to a treatment center every month or so, then you probably want home based laser hair removal solutions. These machines allow you to perform the procedure on yourself, thereby giving you privacy and comfort. However, many prospective users might be skeptical on how well laser hair removal at home could work. Do these personal lasers work well or are they just a gimmick that fails to actually reduce the amount of hair in a region? Also, how much are they usually, compared to a getting treatments at a proper facility? This article will focus on those two questions.
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular ways to remove unwanted hair. For the most part, performing this method of laser hair removal at home is reasonably comparable to having it performed professionally. Indeed, the general consensus seems to be that there will be less than 50% of the hair that you had to begin with in the region and more often than not, the hair that grows in is much thinner and lighter. Naturally, this means you’ll have to shave less often and any “stubble” will be significantly less noticeable. One report on a popular home laser solution noted that she found that only 25% of the hair that was there previously existed and that she reduced her shaving from daily to a couple of times a week.
While it may be clear that these kits are useful, it’s important to know that laser hair removal at home is not necessarily a cheap proposition. One of the more popular solutions is made by a company called “Silk’n”. The Silk’n base unit retails for about $500 on Amazon.com and that doesn’t take into account the disposable lamp cartridges. Each cartridge costs about $50 and is good for about three or so applications. Considering that each visit to a professional laser hair clinic will set you back $500 or so, this is certainly much more cost effective. However, as demonstrated above, the results are likely not to be as good as professional solutions.
In conclusion, laser hair removal at home is a tricky proposition. On the one hand, you can have decent hair removal in the privacy and comfort of your own home. This can be especially important for women who wish to remove hair from the bikini areas. On the other hand, it’s almost certain that you can get similar, if not better, results from a professional laser treatment center, however, at a much higher cost. It’s also worth mentioning that these home machines cannot be used for the face and are not recommended for other sensitive skin areas. As such, the best way to think of these home solutions are as “samplers”. They are relatively cheap, quick ways to thin the hair in some regions and if the results are unsatisfactory to you, you can always opt for the more expensive laser treatments later on.
There is much discussion on the merits of laser hair removal at home versus having it done by a professional, and the general consensus is that it is much more cost effective with the at home system.

I admit i was skeptical when i first heard about this – but it seems that this device is actually working. One thing I would recommend is that you will need to do multiple passes at lower energy, instead of single passes at high energy.
I am interested in this product, really good to know about LASER Are there any testimonials that can assure us that this product really work? Hope to get an answer. thanks!
The at-home devices are probably good for little “touch-ups” here and there, provided that you don’t have access to a professional laser center. The biggest drawback to the at-home devices is that they really don’t produce enough energy to provide a permanent result. Their maximum energy output (fluence) is less than half of that of the professional systems. And, since the major at-home devices use either IPL – intense pulsed light – or a Diode frequency laser, they’re not appropriate for darker skin tones or tanned skin.

Exactly! I made out the same. Lower energy and more times and I have better results. It took me some time to learn the technique proper for me but now I’m satisfied and don’t have it done anywhere.
I’ve been thinking about getting the silk’n SensEpil for my mother, my sister has it and thinks its a great device, she totally loves it!.
I recommend you to try Silk’n SensEpil; you will forget about waxing again for sure! It is painless, you can do it at home and the results are very good!
Laser Removal and Cream works well for me. Its not that painful and unlike electrolysis, i dont have that funny feeling inside my stomach.
Just spending a little more on a laser removal is just like spending on wax for DYI waxing session.
