Traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, and plucking are all threatened as home laser hair removal systems become more available and more affordable with advancement in laser technology. When laser hair removal machines became commercially available to the general public, and as the cost of production become more economical, more people will be able to benefit from laser treatment to remove hair. One purchase of such a device and the owner can use it to remove hair almost permanently with minimal pain, as often as desired.
It used to be that the only way to receive laser hair treatment was in a clinic performed by a medical professional. Today that is only true for sensitive areas such as the face and neck. But portable home devices allows everyday people to treat themselves everyday if they so desired. The laser generates heat which destroys the hair follicle at the roots preventing the hair from ever growing back. Some people experience a slight tingle while others have reported a warm sensation during the procedure. But overall it should be a nearly pain free solution compared to shaving, waxing, or plucking.
Now people don’t have to spend the time and effort to research and schedule appointments with a clinic to have minor areas treated with laser. There are a lot of people who like the idea of removing unwanted hairs but limit themselves to temporary solutions because they don’t have the desire to go to a clinic. This home laser machine allows these people to receive the same treatment on their own time whenever they want.
In terms of financials, it is a more affordable option than going to the clinic which can cost between one and a few thousand dollars. A consumer product can be purchased for about $800 to $1,000. That a savings of thousands of dollars. Repeat treatment and touch ups can be done as many times as necessary with no re-visitation cost.
These products are quite effective and typically reduce hair by 50-80% when used properly. The results typically last over a year and touch ups are only needed about every other year.
