The cost of laser hair removal is the first and most important consideration when deciding which laser hair remover is right for you. You will be considering initial cost, maintenance (lamp replacement etc.), treatment times and whether you want a cordless device.
Improved technology and micro electronics have given us Personal Laser Hair Removers that are small, easy to use and provide results as good or better than the large, expensive units physicians and salons use. Personal lasers for home use are small, hand held devices about the size of a cordless phone. They are light weight and allow easy application.
Some models are rechargeable and others require an AC outlet. Designed to be comfortable and easy to hold, applying a treatment is fast and virtually effortless. The average time for a laser application to both legs is between 15 to 30 minutes. Just like at your physicians office, the laser treatment is re-applied after 2-3 weeks and 4-6 applications are required for permanent hair removal. Most units are adjustable for your specific skin and hair type.
The cost differences between brands is due to the type of attachments included in the kit. Some kits come with extra lotions and creams for application after the laser treatment. Usually, none of these extra's are required and any over the counter skin lotion or cream will suit your needs. Above are the three most popular Personal Laser Hair Removers.
