Hair Laser Removal

Facts to Consider Hair Laser Removal at home

Unfortunately the hair laser removal at home system can only work on people with light skin and dark hair. It will not work if you have dark or tanned skin. It also will not work on blond, white, gray, light red and light brown hair. The reason for that is because when laser detects the dark pigment in the hair it produces heat. People with dark skin will experience intense heat, and the light hair will not be able to be picked up by the laser. On the other hand if you have fair skin and dark hair you are the perfect candidate and chances are more than likely that the machine will work for you.

While hair laser removal at home can save you hundreds of dollars compare to going to the physician, it can still cost you. As of now it is priced just under $800, but many places offer payment plans, and they always run specials. Still it is a much cheaper alternative compare going to the spa. On average a professional hair laser removal on legs, bikini, and underarms can cost around $10,000 for a full set of treatments. Some units run as low as $200, but so far they have not been able to deliver great results. And some consumers found it a waste of their money.

The laser works by sending intense heat to the hair follicle so it can be destroyed, and some areas of you body should not be subjected to it as serious reaction can occur. You can't use hair laser removal at home on your head, ears, genitalia, neck and nipples. You can use it on legs, underarms, bikini line, back, chest, abdomen, buttocks, arms, hands, and feet. Also many people with sensitive skin found that the hair laser removal at home works better for them compare to waxing and shaving.

Due to the different hair growth cycle more than one treatment will need to be performed. The same goes for professional use as well. It will take about six to eight treatments for the desired results.

The hair laser removal at home practically works by itself. You can have your treatments done while watching a TV. The laser is self-automated, the moment it detects the dark pigment in your hair it will automatically send heat to the area and destroy the hair root.

The only thing you need to do is to prepare your skin before hand. You should shave right before and have clean skin with no lotions or creams on it.
