Laser hair removal is something that many of us want to do because of how effective it is. Unfortunately many of us are not able to try it because of how expensive it is. Working on even the small problem areas could cost between $1,000 to $2,000. When we have bills and tuition costs to worry about the last thing we can try is laser removal.
If this is the case than you might be interested in trying home laser hair removal. There are certain products on the market like the Epila and Rio that sell laser removal kits that you can safely use at home. These cost between $200 to $500 and can be effective at removing the hair. Keep in mind though that these are not as effective as the professional treatments.
How They Work
The home laser hair removal kits are made to remove the hair from any part of the body including, the legs, face, chest, back, and underarms. Most kits will use the same type of laser that the professionals use. The laser will target the hair follicles and use intense heat to separate the hair from it. Only people with light skin and dark hair can use them.
Advantages
While they are not as effective as the professional treatment, most kits (when you buy the right one) are able to remove 90% of the hair. It provides longer lasting results when compared to shaving and waxing. It works quicker than the home electrolysis kits because it treats a small area rather than one hair at a time.
How To Use
In order to get the best results you have to use it at different times. It is best to use it while your hair is in the anagen growth phase cycle. The hair does not all grow the same at one time so you must work on it in stages. The smaller areas take around 45 minutes to treat. The larger areas can take an hour or longer.
