Hair Removal Devices.
Everything you need to know to keep your skin long-lasting salon-smooth... at home.

Trying to choose a home hair removal device? It’s tricky... especially if you’ve been going to a salon and having the beautician suggest what to do.

But with salons perhaps less appealing or even available right now, and salon treatments scarily expensive, now’s the perfect time to check out the options for doing your own, long lasting hair removal at home.

IPL. The home hair removal gold standard.

There’s more than one way to do your own hair removal, of course. You’ve probably tried the options at one time or another. Of all the possible choices, however, we’re firmly in the IPL camp. Epilators and razors are effective shorter term treatments.
But if you want to make your skin feel smooth and gorgeous, diminish regrowth so it’s less prolific and you don’t have to think about it for months, and give yourself your own, salon-like experience, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is the big story.

AT A GLANCE
Why IPL is the best choice for long term
salon-smooth hair removal at home.

RAZORS

• Wet or dry, shaving simply snips the hairs just above the surface

• Needs redoing fairly often

• May cause skin irritation

IPL DEVICES

• Fast and pain free

• Pulsed light heats the hair follicles and interrupts the regrowth cycle

• Long-lasting. Easy to maintain

EPILATORS

• Smooth when you’ve just done it

• Usually a bit uncomfortable

• Generally need to redo every 3-4 weeks

IPL DEVICES
