Home Laser Hair Removal
There is not enough study to say weather the home lasers hair removal machines work.It may work for some,others may need something stronger.It depends on the person,what skin type verses hair color and texture. You have be careful and mindful that laser hair home machines will deliver a less energy than a professional grade.

Home Laser Devices
Although home laser devices may be a nice alternative to have for laser hair removal, they are not going to give you the same side by side effective results per session as compared to a medical laser found in a physician's office. One reason is because the lasers utilized in a physician's office are more powerful than what's currently available for purchase by the consumer. In addition, the settings and the type of...

Many people can be uncomfortable about the idea of having laser hair removal performed. What so many people don't realize is that an experienced laser technician has performed thousands of laser hair removal procedures on virtually every area of the body. In order to be as...

Can Home Devices Work for Laser Hair Removal?
Hello. I think yours is the $64,000 question that consumers would like the answer to.

The reason is that they do not achieve the high peak fluence (energy) level necessary to provide permanent results.
Even in the dermatology world where the devices go through a more stringent standard for approval...

Home laser hair removal- the Jury is out
The laser home removal devices are approved by the government and tested for safety. With that being said that assumes you follow all the correct parameters- which many patients don't. In addition it 'seems' not to have the power for permanent removal in the same number of sessions- if at all. I have asked a few of my patients who say that it gets rid of the hair but not permanently. The jury is still out- as I await real double blind studies - NOT FROM THE MANUFACTURER- to know how well...

Home hair laser
I hope that you will report back here to all of us who haven't yet met patients who have tried these out. All I have read has been written by the manufacturer who of course is going to paint the rosiest picture.
Be well!

Laser Hair Removal
Thank you for your question. I would not suggest home laser hair removal. A wide variety of medical lasers and light systems are used to remove unwanted hair, however most lasers are not effective for all skin types and hair colors. The Elos laser hair removal system is designed for permanent hair reduction by combining both optical and radiofrequency energy to deliver satisfying, longer lasting results with less discomfort than previous laser systems. All skin and all hair colors including...
