Laser hair removal is an efficient method for permanently eliminating unwanted body hair. Laser light pulses target and heat individual follicles without disrupting surrounding cells or structures.
Damaged follicles will then no longer produce new hair growth, making this treatment suitable for use on faces, arms, legs or backs where troublesome hair exists.
1. Tria Beauty Laser Hair Remover
Laser hair removal is the gold standard in hair reduction, yet can be costly and inconvenient to get at a dermatologist’s office. Luckily, there are other alternatives that offer similar results without breaking the bank or taking up too much of your time and energy.
Tria Beauty Laser Hair Remover is FDA-cleared for home use and utilizes real laser technology, rather than IPL (which uses xenon flash lamps to emit light). The device boasts an energy density of 20 joules per square centimeter – approximately three times more powerful than Philips IPL devices.
Be warned that laser hair removal treatments will likely hurt, as lasers send pulses of light that convert to heat in hair follicles. Numbing gel may help mitigate any discomfort; in total, approximately 8 treatments should be required to see noticeable results.
2. The Cynosure Apogee Laser Hair Remover
Cynosure Apogee Elite laser is one of the most sophisticated aesthetic treatment systems available, boasting two optimal wavelengths to treat lighter skin tones – 755nm Alexandrite laser and 1064nm Nd:YAG laser respectively. We can thus perform hair removal, pigmented lesion treatments and leg/face vein treatments all from one machine!
Treatment at our center is virtually pain-free; we use a Smart Cool system which releases cooling air bursts to soothe discomfort during procedures.
Cynosure laser treatments differ significantly from at-home IPL devices available to consumers; its powerful light is strong enough to deliver results quickly and reliably. Working on darker areas of your body, Cynosure works to permanently eliminate unwanted hair. Full results may be realized within just several sessions of treatment.
3. Philips Lumea Laser Hair Remover
Laser hair removal has long been recognized for its ability to permanently reduce or eliminate unwanted body hair. Now with at-home devices such as Philips Lumea IPL 9000 available for home use, laser hair removal has become more accessible than ever with safe and effective results delivered right into the comfort of your own home.
IPL (intense pulsed light) technology uses flashes of light to heat pigmented hair and skin cells, causing them to go into resting mode and permanently reduce hair growth without painful waxing appointments. You’ll experience permanent hair reduction without ever needing another waxing session again!
IPL produces a wider spectrum of light than lasers, making it suitable for most skin tones and hair colors without permanent results. Sessions may still be necessary to maintain results; nonetheless, it offers superior results over shaving or waxing, with easier maintenance requirements than going to a salon!
4. iLaser Hair Remover
Laser hair removal differs from shaving or waxing by targeting the roots of unwanted hair to keep it from growing back, as well as eliminating ingrown hairs that might occur from using other methods of removal. Furthermore, it requires less sessions and maintenance compared to these traditional approaches.
The iLaser Hair Remover boasts an expansive spot size to quickly treat larger areas in less time than other at-home devices, while its built-in cooling system helps minimize discomfort during treatments. Furthermore, this device includes a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Before undertaking laser hair removal, it is recommended that you refrain from shaving or plucking the area, as this could interfere with treatment and could potentially increase side effects such as discoloration and blistering – this is particularly pertinent for people with darker skin tones.
5. Lumea Laser Hair Remover with Body Attachment
Philips Lumea Prestige bri956 USA is an excellent choice for anyone who’s seeking permanent reduction of body hair without painful waxing appointments or expensive shaving sessions. Like all IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments, it employs flashes of light to damage hair follicle roots and prevent their return indefinitely.
IPL works by sending a wavelength of light into your skin, which is then absorbed by pigments present in both hair and skin, turning into heat energy. For this reason, it can only be used on dark-haired people and darker-skinned individuals, not being suitable for very light or blonde locks.
It’s a cordless device designed to treat the entire body, with attachments designed to reach hard-to-reach spots and adjustable light intensity settings enabling you to tailor treatments according to individual needs.
6. Cynosure Apogee Hair Remover with Body Attachment
Cynosure Elite MPX is a cosmetic laser workstation with dual wavelength technology that offers the flexibility necessary for performing various laser hair removal procedures and aesthetic treatments, including wrinkle reduction, skin tightening and treating spider veins, lesions, birthmarks, age spots and sun spots.
It combines two lasers – 755nm Alexandrite laser and 1064nm Nd:YAG lasers – which can be sequentially activated for maximum results on various skin types. Furthermore, SmartCool technology ensures maximum client comfort during and post treatment sessions.
The Elite iQ permanently reduces unwanted hair on all types of skin. Additionally, this system can treat facial and leg veins as well as pigmented lesions on legs and arms, bikini areas.
7. iLaser Hair Remover with Body Attachment
This FDA-cleared at-home device uses diode laser technology similar to what clinics employ. Furthermore, its sensor detects skin tone and only emits light when safe for use.
As opposed to shaving or waxing, electrolysis hair removal targets individual follicles to permanently stop them producing hair growth. Although it may require multiple sessions before visible results appear, electrolysis hair removal is an effective and permanent way of eliminating unwanted hair.
This device uses two wavelengths of light – 755nm for lighter skin tones and 1064nm for darker areas – to target all different types of hair. Furthermore, its dual cooling system provides a soothing sensation and protects your skin during treatment. Unfortunately, blonde or white hairs typically do not respond to this form of treatment.
8. Cynosure Apogee Hair Remover
Cynosure Elite MPX is a dual wavelength aesthetic laser workstation with the capability of performing various laser hair removal procedures as well as skin rejuvenation treatments such as facial veins and pigmented lesions. Utilizing both an Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser allows practitioners to safely treat multiple skin types.
Opposing plucking and waxing, laser treatments permanently destroy hair follicles to prevent future regrowth – with many clients reporting up to 79% hair reduction after just three sessions!
Laser treatment targets only active growth phase hair follicles known as anagen stage. Over time, other follicles will enter resting or catagen phase and eventually stop producing hair altogether. Meanwhile, you can enjoy hair-free skin for as long as it lasts! The Elite features SmartCool technology which emits a burst of cooling air during treatment for maximum client comfort.
9. Cynosure Apogee Hair Remover with Body Attachment
Cynosure Apogee Elite Laser Hair Removal Machine is an ultimate hair-removal device suitable for all skin types, offering two laser systems – an alexandrite for light to tan skin types and a powerful 1064nm Nd:YAG that’s suitable for dark complexions – to target all your unwanted hair growth.
This at-home laser hair removal device features a large treatment window, making it suitable for covering larger body areas such as legs. In addition, there’s a facial mode to target fine hairs on forehead or chin; and skin rejuvenation settings that soften wrinkles and provide even texture smoothing.
Contrary to other laser hair removal devices, Apogee does not directly target melanin but instead targets its pigmented part of a hair follicle and causes it to shrink and eventually stop producing new hair; this results in permanent hair reduction after just several sessions.
10. Cynosure Apogee Hair Remover
Avoid shaving, waxing and plucking with laser hair removal treatments! They provide permanent solutions that remove hair with results lasting even longer than traditional methods can.
Cynosure Elite Apogee system features two optimized wavelengths in one machine – 755nm Alexandrite for skin types 1-3 and 1064nm Nd:YAG for darker skin tones – so we can treat more patients in fewer sessions than with single wavelength machines.
The Elite Apogee features Smart Cool technology to reduce discomfort during laser treatments. Clients have reported feeling something similar to a light rubber band snapping against their skin during Smart Cool treatment; this helps make laser treatments more comfortable than they would otherwise be; though individual experience will differ according to pain perception.
