Have you seen advertisements for at-home laser hair removal devices and been tempted to purchase one? These treatments at home promise permanent hair removal, however, this is not the case. Let’s discuss the difference between at-home laser hair removal devices and professional treatments in a medical spa.
How do at Home Laser Hair Removal Devices Work:
Most of the at-home laser hair removal devices on the market use IPL (intense pulse light) technology. IPL is not the most effective way to target hair follicles to destroy them, thus stopping hair growth. IPL technology feels like a “hot rubber band” snapping on the skin and many patients can’t tolerate this sensation. IPL may thin out the hair, but doesn’t have the ability to fully destroy hair follicles. There is also the risk that burns can occur when using these devices, especially in darker skin types.
