How to do Laser Hair Removal at Home

If you do not want to go to a clinic to have your unwanted hair removed, then you will need to look at home laser hair removal. Home laser hair removal is a relatively new type of laser hair removal. It has only been in the past few years that home laser hair removal has been possible thanks to smaller laser devices that are much cheaper than the large lasers used by clinics around the world. Of course, you need to make sure you remove the unwanted hair properly with your home laser.

Step 1: Find a laser hair removal product that is endorsed by the FDA. You do not want to buy a product that is not endorsed by the FDA because you will not know exactly what you are getting. At least with a product that the FDA endorses, you know it has been tested to ensure it not only works properly and promises what it claims, but that it also is safe for you. Currently, the only FDA approved home laser hair removal device available on the market is the TRIA Personal Laser Hair Removal System by

Step 2: Shave the area you want to treat about three days before you are going to use the home laser hair device. This will make it easier for you to see the hair follicles, which is what you want to remove.

Step 3: When you first start out, make sure you completely read the manual so you know exactly how the product works and what kind of results you are going to get out of it. If you do not use the product properly, then you are not going to get very good laser hair reduction.

Step 4: Start slow with your laser hair removal at home. Do not do it every day, or even every single week. Instead, use the laser hair removal device once every other week for the first two months. At this point, you will need to use the device once a month every two months. At that point, you will only need to do bi-annual sessions with your laser hair removal device at home.

Step 5: After you have your first treatment with your laser hair removal device, make sure you watch for any problems on your skin. If you start to blister or redness stays around for several days, then you should turn the settings down because you are burning your skin. As well, if you see the skin lightening or darkening and remaining so for several weeks, you may want to talk to your dermatologist to make sure there is no permanent damage to your skin.

Step 6: Once you have completed all your sessions with your home laser hair removal device, just keep an eye on the area of the skin to see what hair is coming back. Remember, hair comes in cycles so you will have to use the device every so often to remove all the hair. Do not use the device on a few hairs each day. Wait until several appear so that you can remove them all at once. This is a much better method of doing things.
