Which Is Better, Diode Laser Hair Removal Or A Home Hair Removal Device?

As the temperature rises sharply, the little skirts in the closet are ready to go, and it's time to show your legs and arms again. For the sake of beauty, women have begun to pay attention to limb hair removal. In the past two years, a large number of home hair removal devices have appeared on the market, mainly for portability, high efficiency, and multiple uses. Is home beauty device better or Diode Laser Hair Removal in beauty salons?

From the principle of the instrument, whether it is a home hair removal device or laser hair removal, both use selective photothermal effect to make lasers of specific wavelengths pass through the epidermis, allowing the melanin in the hair follicles to selectively absorb this laser, so that the hair follicles no longer grow. However, the photothermal principles used by the two are actually different.

The home hair removal device uses IPL intense pulsed light. IPL intense pulsed light is a wide-spectrum light composed of multiple wavelengths of light. The wavelength of intense pulsed light is scattered, and the energy will become weaker and weaker when acting on the human body surface, and the effect will be unstable.

Diode Laser Hair Removal has a higher and more concentrated single wavelength energy. The penetrating light irradiates the part that needs to be removed, and then the light energy is converted into heat energy that destroys the hair follicle tissue, causing the hair follicle to enter a dormant state. The hair follicles are temporarily asleep and it is difficult to wake up for a period of time, so the hair will naturally not grow out.

Diode Laser Hair Removal is the most effective way to remove hair so far, and it will not cause serious damage to the hair follicles and sweat glands. As an instrument directly used on the body, the most important thing for everyone is the safety of the project and whether it will harm the human body.

The hair removal effect depends on the energy density. The wider the energy value range, the more hair follicles can be affected. At least 5J/cm² or more hair removal devices must be selected to be effective.

Because of this, the adverse reactions of intense pulsed light hair removal include blisters and burns caused by excessive temperature, and some may even cause pigmentation and blood scabs. Therefore, when operating, you must pay attention to avoid light and wear goggles. Sisters with acne-prone constitution need to apply some photosensitive ointment, otherwise it is easy to get acne and be burned.

Diode Laser Hair Removal does not need to consider these troubles at all. As a medical device, safety is the most basic guarantee. Laser hair removal can directly act on hair follicles without other side effects. It can be said to be the most common and safest hair removal technology on the market.

Home hair removal devices have low power and take a long time. There is basically no difference between single-shot mode and continuous-shot mode. Therefore, the cycle is longer than laser hair removal. It needs to be done again every three to four weeks. It takes multiple uses to achieve similar hair removal effects, but the effect varies from person to person. Roughly speaking, you have to operate it yourself once a month. If your hair grows fast, you have to do it yourself about once every half a month. The number of times you can operate a home hair removal device is also limited, and you may still have to buy the device again in the end.

The benefits of Diode Laser Hair Removal are apparent. Since hair grows in cycles, laser can only act on hair in the growth period, so it takes 3-5 cycles (depending on the person) to achieve a near-permanent hair removal effect~ and it is operated by professionals, so you don’t need to spend a lot of time on it.

Overall, for individuals, home hair removal devices are easy to operate, low in cost, and less painful, but they are prone to side effects and take a long time. In addition to the cost, the overall safety factor and time cost of Diode Laser Hair Removal are lower than those of home hair removal devices.
