At www.so-smooth.co.uk we specialise in home laser hair removal products. Permanent laser hair removal in the privacy of your own home is becoming increasingly more popular.

Home laser hair removal technology has always existed but up until now has only been available in salons. In a nutshell home laser hair removal systems work by emitting a laser that makes your skin translucent. The home laser hair removal unit then kills the hair follicle at the root. The laser hair removal device kills darker hairs only because lighter hairs become translucent with the laser.

For lighter hairs there are products such as meladine that can make your hairs darker and then suitable for home laser hair removal. The laser strength needed to make your skin translucent is between 600 to 1100 nm’s. This accounts for the various different levels found on laser hair removal units. Your skin will not become translucent if the laser strength is less than 600nm which is why paler skin types are more suited to this type of treatment and darker skin types will not see any benefit.

The common options out there for permanent hair removal at home are the Tria Laser Hair Removal Unit the Rio x60 laser hair removal system and the Silk’n ipl hair removal unit. In future the Remington i light, Rio IPL and the Philips Satinlux will also be available to buy.
