Home Hair Removal Made Easy

Facial hair in women has always been stigmatized. For ages, women have felt compelled to get rid of facial hair as it was, and still is, considered masculine, but the presence of facial hair is healthy and normal for any human being. It is simply more visible in some people, often men, than in others. However, many women now have the opportunity to keep it natural or remove it permanently, thanks to laser hair removal at home. It is one of the most popular modern treatments available to get rid of facial hair, because other methods can be painful and time consuming.

What is the importance of facial laser hair removal?

Using laser treatment to get rid of facial hair is entirely safe. Laser hair removal devices kill the hair follicle, and since hair grows in cycles, the lasers are only able to affect the hairs in a certain phase. This is why multiple sessions are required, over the course of multiple weeks, to stop the regrowth entirely. However, it's important to understand that it's not a completely permanent process. Many people see hair grow back after a few years, but everyone's experience and treatment schedule is different. Some people might need more frequent touch-ups than others to keep the stubborn hairs from showing up again.

Having a laser hair procedure at a salon or clinic can be very expensive, and it often costs over a hundred dollars for a single session. It can take a minimum of six sessions to treat every hair, so you can end up spending thousands on this treatment in your lifetime. Meanwhile, an at-home laser hair removal device from a reputable branded can be bought for around $400-500. These devices remove the hassle of keeping up with the salon appointments, and they may be a better investment in the long run.

Pros and Cons of At-Home Laser Hair Removal

There are two types of at-home laser hair removal devices. One uses intense pulsed light (IPL), and the other use an actual laser. Both types remove hair effectively, but they aren't as powerful as the ones used by professionals, since you would need a lot of training and a license to operate professional equipment. The at-home devices are cost-effective and easy to use, but they probably won't give you the same results as professional treatment. It can be difficult to treat large areas like the arms and legs with a home device, but they are incredibly convenient to use on smaller areas like the upper lip and the sideburns. Most people purchase them for facial hair removal. One of the most significant drawbacks of using a hair removal device at home is that they are more effective on people with dark hair and light skin, as the laser is more concentrated on the pigmented areas of the hair follicles. People with light hair and light skin may not see the desired results, while people with very dark skin are at risk of being burned by the device. Even with the ideal complexion, you should never use your home device near the eyes, over pigmented areas or tattoos, on moles, or in the genital region.

Hair removal at home is convenient and safe when used for the right purpose and in compliance with the safety precautions. You should only purchase a device after doing thorough research, and be sure to buy from a trustworthy company that values the safety of their customers.
