The methods and equipment used in laser hair removalLaser hair removal|Laser hair removal technology} has been totally revolutionised over the recent few years. Previously, getting rid of hair permanently was limited to commercial salons and spas. These services, although expensive provided customers with effective and the longest possible lasting results using top end, high specification equipment.

As with all technology, the cost of this equipment has fallen by huge amounts over the years, meaning that the the superb level of results which salon visits provided, have become both accessible and affordable for home use. It is therefore now possible to get the same standard of laser hair removal equipment for use in the privacy of home.

This reduction in price and rise in standards is fantastic in particular for those individuals who appreciate and enjoy the advantages of laser hair treatment but perhaps feel self conscious about visiting salons to get the treatment done.

The other significant advantage is that, whilst the home versions of the laser and IPL hair removal products are expensive (top end models can £300/$450) comparing this cost to multiple salon visits means that having your very own laser hair removal system or IPL system creates significant savings.

It doesn’t have to be that expensive either. Cheap laser hair removal at home can start from around £100/$150. At the top end of the range, the IPL systems (Intense Pulsed Light) offers perhaps the pinnacle of hair removal technology – even better than some salons provide!

The Rio Salon Scanning Laser is perhaps the best introductory model now on sale and is just one example of the wide range of products now available on the market.

Seek medical advice before starting any type of hair removal treatment.
