Now there are at-home laser hair removers to save everyone money or for privacy purposes.

Before you delve into the laser hair removal trend you must consider the Pros and Cons attach to it.

TRIA Laser Hair Remover

PROS :

The regrowth of hair may not be permanent but they won’t be as thick as it used to be. It’s also lighter than the original hair which blends more with the skin.

Regrowth of hair, if at all, is fairly slow. So no need to worry about it every 2 minutes.

If done properly, the procedure is painless. There might be a little twinge of pain but it’s nothing earth shattering like delivering a 9- pound baby without epidural. OUCH! Even the latter heals fast .

CONS :

Unfortunately, there is always a negative side. Especially if you don’t read the instructions properly. There is a reason why at-home laser hair removers like the one from TRIA needs to be activated through the phone. Not all skin complexions are the same. Medium brown and dark brown/black skin tones for example can not use the TRIA system.

People who tan also have to wait a certain amount of time before doing a laser hair removal process.

Depending on your budget, a $900 machine from TRIA could be beneficial for an at-home tool. Visiting a professional on the other hand could cost you around $500- or more depending on where you live each visit.
