When unwanted hair makes you self-conscious about baring your skin, it can be tempting to settle for a DIY solution. In Canada, no license is required to perform laser hair removal, which leaves many clients wondering: Does laser hair removal at home work? We suggest checking out the caveats in our overview—and reaching out to our team—before taking hair removal into your own hands.
What’s the Appeal of At-Home Laser Hair Removal?
We can understand why so many clients are tempted to try the DIY route to smoother skin. At-home treatment is less expensive than professional hair removal—and removing hair from the comfort of your bathroom seems more convenient and discreet than booking a medical spa appointment. Going this route may also appeal to you if you’re nervous about venturing outside your comfort zone by trying a new procedure. But, while it may benefit your wallet and busy schedule, saving a few dollars or minutes on DIY hair removal isn’t necessarily good for your skin.
The Risks of Laser Hair Removal At Home
Owning a pair of scissors doesn’t mean you should attempt to cut your own hair. Likewise, just because you can buy a laser doesn’t mean it’s in your best interests to try home laser hair removal. Here’s why we caution you to think twice before purchasing and using a laser hair removal home device:
- There’s a risk of burns, especially for people with darker skin tones. Alternatively, our experienced aesthetic professionals understand how lasers interact with different skin tones and types.
- Your results may be inferior when using an at-home device compared to our state-of-the-art lasers. While a device with less power may be safer to use at home, it usually can’t match the results of a professionally administered laser treatment.
- You may experience more discomfort during an at-home laser hair removal procedure. Our aestheticians take extra steps to protect your skin before and after treatment.
- It may take longer to remove hair at home than during one of our quick, efficient medi spa treatments. We know precisely where and how to target and safely remove your unwanted hair, and we can do so in a matter of minutes!
- You may have unwanted side effects such as excessive redness, swelling, and crusting. Our professionals use high-quality lasers and customize settings to safely achieve your desired results with minimal downtime.
