15 Best At-Home Laser Hair Removal Kits

I love an at-home beauty kit. I’m sold on anything that saves me money and doesn’t require me to be organized enough to book an appointment. But now that every salon is closed indefinitely, these DIY kits are more intriguing than ever.

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a process where light is directed onto your skin in little pulses, targeting and heating up the hair follicle to destroy a portion of it with each treatment. Going to a qualified professional, while expensive, will give you the best possible results and can sometimes prevent hair regrowth entirely.

Unfortunately, that option has been taken away from us, so it might be time to consider our options. That may mean trying a laser hair removal kit.

But are these laser kits safe to use?

While leaving your hair alone or shaving is probably the least riskier option, these kits are not entirely off the table. According to dermatologist Marie Hayag of Fifth Avenue Aesthetics, “The at-home devices use lower energy settings than the in-office treatments.”

So, you won’t get the same long-term benefits as a professional treatment, but Hayag assures, “It is a great maintenance treatment for in-between professional laser hair removal and is a wonderful option for home use.”

This is great news if you’re someone who likes to remove your body hair but gets tired of regular shave.

So, for the best at-home laser hair removal, get your hands on one of these kits to keep yourself hair-free until the end of quarantine.

Just make sure to read all the instructions on your kit before purchasing or using it.

Remember that different devices work on different skin tones and patch tests are your best friend. Test out your device on a small area of skin and monitor for a couple of weeks to make sure there are no complications.

2. Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL Hair Removal System

This one is slightly pricier than its Pro 3 sister, but gives you results that last a lot longer. The system is equipped with 300,000 flashes of light. That’s the equivalent of 22 years of full body treatments, so this won’t die on you very easily.

4. Silk’n SensEpil Permanent Hair Removal

If you have a lighter skin tone, Silk’n has specially formulated this system to work on sensitive skin. It’s easy to use but, unfortunately, is not meant for people with darker skin tones.
