Can't I Just Use One of Those At-Home Hair Removal Lasers?
Can't I Just Use One of Those At-Home Hair Removal Lasers? Sure you can, but take their promises and claims with a grain of salt. "All of these devices are underpowered compared to the professional lasers out there," says Kauvar, meaning it will take more treatments to see results. As a rule, they also work best on those "ideal" candidates, so if you don't have that fair-skin-dark-hair combo, you may want to take a pass. Not to mention that treating certain parts of your body yourself (ahem, bikini line) will require some serious Cirque du Soleil-style contortion. If anything, consider one of these devices for potential touch-ups after a series of in-office treatments, suggests Frank. One to try: Iluminage Precise Touch, $245, the first at-home option FDA-cleared for use on all skin tones.
