There are numerous advantages to having a laser hair removal product available for consumers to take home and treat themselves. Laser hair removal is one of the most effective methods of hair removal in terms of permanence and is very safe when used properly. Now anyone can take the laser machine home and apply the treatment to themselves as many times as necessary without having to pay for multiple sessions at a clinic.

It used to be that the only way to receive laser hair treatment was in a clinic performed by a medical professional. Today that is only true for sensitive areas such as the face and neck. But portable home devices allows everyday people to treat themselves everyday if they so desired. The laser generates heat which destroys the hair follicle at the roots preventing the hair from ever growing back. Some people experience a slight tingle while others have reported a warm sensation during the procedure. But overall it should be a nearly pain free solution compared to shaving, waxing, or plucking.

Now people don’t have to spend the time and effort to research and schedule appointments with a clinic to have minor areas treated with laser. There are a lot of people who like the idea of removing unwanted hairs but limit themselves to temporary solutions because they don’t have the desire to go to a clinic. This home laser machine allows these people to receive the same treatment on their own time whenever they want.

It is also more affordable by thousands of dollars for treatment of a single area. Any procedure would require multiple repeat treatments for optimal results and the total cost of those repeat sessions could cost around $1,000 and $3,000. A home device would cost $800 to $1,000 one time. The device can be used as many times as desired 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.
