Classification

All devices are divided into 2 categories.

Single

These devices remove one hair at a time. Such devices are somewhat cheaper, but the cost does not affect efficiency. However, working with this device is not too easy. We have to point the device at each hair and burn it.

Important! Single hair removal is a rather time-consuming process, especially at first. The experience of hair removal appears over time.

Scan

High-end laser devices that independently recognize hairs induce a laser beam on them. The following is the actual burning process. Scan equipment is quite comfortable and convenient to use. At the same time, the time savings are significant, since an area of ​​35-120 square millimeters is captured at a time. The larger the area covered by a single laser flash, the less time is spent on the procedure.

Important! When choosing this or that option, answer the question: do you have time to remove hairs one at a time. Of course, Scan models are more expensive, but the complexity of the procedure is less.

What to look for?

So, how to choose the best laser epilator for home use?

• A mandatory requirement is a laser beam length of 808 nm, so that it is possible to destroy not only the hair, but also the follicles.
• Pay attention to the presence of a combination lock, which makes the epilator safe, excluding its accidental inclusion by children.

Important! It must be remembered that against thin, delicate or very fair hair, the laser is powerless. Therefore, before buying, you need to consult with the seller or an employee of a beauty salon. The devices used in the salons are much more powerful than home analogs and help to successfully cope with the task.

Myths related to the use of laser epilators

Knowing how the device works will allow you not to listen to myths, many of which are frankly ridiculous.

10 treatments are enough to stop hair from appearing

The natural process of hair growth does not stop, even after repeated hair removal procedures. They will be thinner, their number will decrease, but there is no need to wait for a complete disappearance. A second session will have to be done in about a year.

The effect of the procedure is instant

In fact, the effect can be seen 2 weeks after the procedure. The reason for this is that the death of the follicles is a gradual process. It is impossible to notice the disappearance of hair directly during hair removal.

The use of a laser epilator is completely painless

It all depends on the individual pain threshold.Some women do not feel pain, others, on the contrary, feel some discomfort. Much depends on the attitude to the procedure, the desire to get rid of hair.
