| Another great option for laser hair removal is the FDA-cleared at-home laser hair removal system. About the size of a small hair dryer, this hand-held device is based on the same technology behind the LightSheer diode laser preferred by physicians worldwide. Just like professional lasers, the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System works by targeting the dark pigment (melanin) in the hair to generate heat that disables each follicle. For added safety, the power levels are gently reduced, which means treatment takes a little longer but the results are the same as those obtained in a doctor’s office. At-Home Laser Hair Removal FAQs What does it feel like?
Some people feel a moderate warming or prickling sensation and some feel no sensation at all. It’s important to note that any sensation you may feel will lessen as the hair becomes finer. Does it hurt?
Much the same as in-office laser hair removal treatments, the sensation is similar to the feeling of a warm rubber band being snapped against the skin. What is the treatment schedule?
