4 Factors to Consider When Choosing Home Laser Hair Removal

For girls who are afraid of trouble and do not want to go to professional institutions for hair removal, home hair removal devices are undoubtedly one of the most popular items. However, there are so many home hair removal devices on the market, do you really know how to choose? This blog will tackle your doubts.

How does a home laser hair removal work?

It uses the principle of selective photothermodynamics of laser/color light for hair removal. When light passes through the skin surface and reaches the root of the hair follicle, the melanin in the hair follicle selectively absorbs light of a specific wavelength, and the light energy is absorbed and converted into heat energy, thereby destroying the hair follicle and stopping hair growth.

What should I consider when buying a hair removal device?

👉Spectrum

The best wavelength of colored light is between 600/650-950nm, the longer the spectrum, the safer it is for darker skin, the stronger the ability to penetrate the skin, and the easier it is to damage the hair follicles. Lasers up to 810nm can have a better effect on shag removal. After all, different wavelengths of light penetrate the skin at different depths.

👉Energy density

The higher the energy density, the more effective the hair removal and the longer the effect. A minimum of 5J/cm² is required to break down the hair follicle to prevent regrowth in the short term.

👉Number of times of light emission

The area of the lamp head is small, and the number of light-emitting times is large; the greater the light intensity, the higher the energy level used, and the less the number of light-emitting times.

👉Light-emitting area

The larger the lamp head area, the larger the light output area, the more convenient and faster to use.

What are the types of laser hair removal machines?

👉Light sensor type (IPL light)

The light-sensing hair removal method is used to irradiate the hair melanin with light and damage the hair root to achieve the hair removal effect. It is lighter than laser epilators in terms of pain, because it uses light to remove hair, and the wide range of irradiation at one time is an obvious feature of light-sensing epilators, so the number of irradiations can be reduced to achieve rapid hair removal.

However, because the pain caused by the laser is lighter than that of the laser, the hair removal effect is relatively inferior, and the speed at which the hair removal effect can be truly felt is slower than that of the laser. But for those who are afraid of pain, it is recommended to choose a light-sensing epilator.

👉Laser 

Laser hair removal is a hair removal method that uses a laser that responds to the melanin of the hair to damage the dermal papilla that grows the hair. The product structure is equivalent to the laser used in medical institutions, but the output power of the home epilator is weaker than that of the medical product, so it is very safe. As an obvious feature, the hair removal effect can be felt more.

The disadvantage of laser epilator is that you need to endure pain. There are many crushes who can't stand this kind of shock-like stinging pain! In addition, the irradiation range is relatively narrow, which will prolong the nursing time.

Who is not suitable for laser hair removal?

• Special equipment should be selected for the face, otherwise it will easily cause skin damage.

• Do not use on wounds or pimples.

• For friends with darker skin, it is recommended not to try laser/light hair removal easily, because darker skin will absorb more light and increase the possibility of burns.

• Be careful to avoid light shining on the tattoo, otherwise it may cause changes in the pattern, and the tattoo will be washed away in serious cases.

• Not suitable for use by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and those with light-sensitive skin.
