Home Laser Hair Removal Machines

By Manny Tera

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.

Hair removal by laser originally was available only through the services of a trained medical professional. The take home device works on the same principle but through a portable machine that is now safe for the general public to treat themselves. The laser works by penetrating the skin and heating the root of the hair follicle. The heat destroys the hair and stops it from growing. It is a less painful process compared to temporary solutions like shaving, waxing, or plucking.

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.

Typical results are very inspiring with reports of 50% to 80% reduction in hair re-growth. The results normally last at least a year or longer and touch ups are normally required once every other year or so. For maximum hair removal, the entire process would require treatment every 2 to 4 weeks for a period of 4 to 8 months depending on the size of the area and strength of the hair.

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. - 30305
