17 At-Home Laser Hair Removal Devices That Actually Work

With ten different intensity levels to choose from, this FDA-approved device strikes the perfect balance between safety and efficacy. For those with sensitive skin, there’s also three ‘comfort modes’ to choose from: Normal, gentle, or extra gentle.

In a perfect world, most at-home laser hair removal devices would be equipped to use forever and ever. Unforatnely, that’s not exactly the case, but this device comes pretty close. Fitted with 600,000 flashes (which equals about 40+years of full-body treatments), you can bet this tool will be in for the long haul.

If you’re in the market for something that won’t break the budget but will still get those silky hair-free legs you’ve been dreaming about, look no further. It features two modes and eight adjustable light settings to ensure pain-free removal, as well as a three-year warranty.

See results as in little as three to four weeks with this handheld-sized option. Equipped with five power settings this device is safe to go all over various skin tones and sensitive areas (yep, even down there!) with ease.

As summer vacations loom on the horizon, you might want to start thinking about what you want to bring in your makeup bag. This FDA-approved device can easily fit in any toiletry bag and still packs a punch with its 300,000 flashes.

This device is easy to hold and store, and comes with two different flash modes: one for smaller areas on the skin and larger. Featuring five adjustable energy levels you can fix this laser to your skins’ sensitivity needs, an ideal situation for those delicate areas of skin like your armpits or bikini line.

When it comes to 2-in-1 products, we can never seem to have enough. So if you’re game to add another one to your roster, look to Jovs’ Venus Pro, the first-ever anti-aging and hair removal device in one. The key lies in its skin rejuvenation attachment that, when attached, boosts collagen and elastin production in the skin where it’s applied.

If your pain tolerance is somewhat low, reach for this device with cooling technology that reduces laser heat and inflammation. Other great features include three other attachments and the ability to recharge the device when needed.

Tackle hair all over with Philips’ Lumea laser hair removal tool. Each device comes with three attachments, so you can swamp them out depending on what area of the body you plan on targeting. While the price tag may be steep, it’s a life-saver if you’re tight on space.

It’s no secret that laser hair removal can be uncomfortable at times, but this option is borderline pain-free. The laser on this machine feels more like a super cool ice cube to the skin, which helps minimize pain and soothe the skin in the process.

According to some reviewers, this device is best suited for those with very dark and/or coarse hair. It’s equipped with an LED screen so you can track how many light pulses have beamed onto each area—though you may need to wear safety goggles (which are included) while operating. Each lamp comes programmed with enough pulses to last for up to five years. When it runs out, you can simply order a replacement cartridge and keep the handle.

Unlike many at-home IPL devices, this one is suitable for all skin types and hair colors, and according to reviewers, it’s also a gentler option than many others on the market. The device itself isn’t rechargeable or corded; it comes pre-charged with 400,000 light pulses, which the company claims will last for a lifetime of treatments.

With smart IPL technology, this FDA-approved laser features a skin sensor which automatically adapts your treatment to your skin tone to ensure a safe and effective treatment. The device is small enough for trickier areas (and is safe for facial use!) while still covering enough skin so the process doesn’t take forever.

This FDA-approved laser hair removal device is the real deal: Rather than IPL, it utilizes diode laser technology, which is the same type of laser your dermatologist likely uses in-office. For best results, the company recommends treating each area (it’s safe for both face and body) once every two weeks. I can personally attest to how well this bright pink baby works (it really does!), although as with many things pertaining to beauty, it does take commitment to really see results.

This compact, lightweight, FDA-approved device is the most time efficient option out there. The device itself is corded so keep that in mind, but as its title suggests, you simply press the button where you want to laser for a quick treatment. Plus, it’s safe to use on your face!

This version of the Tria laser is designed specifically for smaller and harder-to-reach areas, such as the upper lip, between the eyebrows, and along the contours of the jaw. It uses the same FDA-cleared, diode laser technology as its larger-sized counterpart (see #1 on this list) and promises a 70% reduction in hair after three months of regular use.
