Nowadays, a way to handle and manage excess body hair is becoming very popular and it is called laser hair removal. For many people, however, this is out of their reach since this can cost thousands of dollars. So it is but right that some are settling forhome laser hair removal instead. Recently, the FDA has approved two products made for this very cost efficient purpose: The Silk'n and Tria. They both cost less than a thousand of dollars so this is a much affordable choice for people who want to remove unwanted hair. Traditionally, lasers work with an expert aiming that a high intensity light is directly exposed to the skin in order to kill the hair follicles. The usual way is to consult a doctor first to see if you are a qualified candidate for laser hair removal. Using lasers to remove hair is generally best for people with light skin but with dark hair. In case you want to resolve with doing this at home, it would still be advisable to consult a doctor before proceeding with anything.
The risks of burning and scarring are also present if the procedure ofhome laser hair removal is not done properly. The best word of caution for anyone who will go through this is to make sure you do not overlap the pulses on the skin. It can also be a challenge to determine where the laser has already been used and where it has not touched the skin yet. In the event that the laser goes through the same surface of the skin, it can cause extreme pain and possible permanent scarring. This is the major reason why doctors do not recommend this procedure done at home. There are also some reviews saying that the lasers intended for home use are not strong enough to permanently remove the unwanted hair. This simply just burns the hair off so that it appears that it has been removed.
No research has been done to prove this hypothesis though. Done at home or at the clinic, there are still no guarantees of permanency in the procedure. Just in case you still opt to use thehome laser hair removal instead, then always take caution before proceeding.
