When talking about laser hair removers, there are two different types. Both employ light to generate heat. There are laser type hair removers that use an actual laser and there are IPL or Intense Pulsed Light units that use a high intensity xenon light. Both units are usually called laser hair removal systems as the work by the same principle of using high intensity light to generate heat that acts on the hair follicle. The heat is repeatedly applied until the follicle is disabled resulting in permanent hair loss.

Since the mid 1970′s, laser hair removal has been available to the public. But with new technology, the units have become small enough to be available for home use. These home laser hair removers are considered safe and effective for permanent hair removal. They have the same high success rate at hair removal as the large units of the past.

Photothermolysis or heating through light energy is the principle behind laser hair removers. The laser light specifically acts upon the hair follicle by passing through the skin. By re-applying the laser, the heat from the light will inhibit the follicle resulting in permanent hair removal. Light skinned, dark haired users are the ideal candidates as the laser more easily penetrates the skin to act on the follicle. Men and women alike have successfully used laser hair remover on most parts of their bodies.

Several applications are required to permanently remove the hair. How many treatments will depend on the individual user and the type of remover used. Many users see results in as few as three treatments and no hair growth after as few as five treatments. Again, these are very individualized results according to skin tone and hair color. The applications are separated by about 3 to 6 weeks depending on each users response. Users report little to no discomfort with usual side effects including itching, redness and swelling.

The cost of the device can range from $200 to $1000 and will vary with the type and number of accessories (replacement lamps etc.) included in the set. The size of the application area will also vary with the larger lamps costing more as they can treat a larger area decreasing the time required for each treatment.
