What is the difference between a home hair removal device and a beauty salon? Which is better?

Hair removal is something that women care about very much. Thick hair affects the appearance. Hair removal devices are very popular with everyone. There are two types of hair removal devices: home hair removal devices and beauty salon hair removal devices. So, what is the difference between home hair removal devices and beauty salon hair removal devices?

What is the difference between a home hair removal device and a beauty salon hair removal device?

1. Different power

The power of home hair removal devices is different from that of beauty salon hair removal devices. Large medical hair removal machines can generally reach a power of 500-600 watts, while our home hair removal devices are all 20-30 watts. The difference in power is still very large.

2. Different energy

Because of the different power, the energy between the two is also different, and energy determines the effect and intensity of hair removal, so the hair removal effect of medical hair removal devices will be better and more intense than that of home use. Of course, home hair removal devices also have advantages. Although they reduce energy, they are safer to use than medical hair removal devices. Moreover, you can complete the hair removal process at home by yourself, without having to go to the hospital or beauty salon, which is more convenient.

3. Different convenience

Home hair removal devices are a convenient version of the hair removal devices used in medical beauty hospitals. Now more and more beauty salons and hospitals are providing professional hair removal services. Home hair removal devices can be said to be a "convenient version" of medical hair removal devices. The principle of home hair removal device is to use laser to penetrate the epidermis to reach the hair follicles. The melanin in the hair follicles absorbs the laser light energy, generates instant high temperature, burns the hair follicles, and causes them to wither and enter a dormant period, so that the hair will not grow for a period of time. However, the dormant period of hair follicles is also limited, so it is necessary to re-inject the hair follicles at intervals. By repeating this process several times, most of the hair follicles will enter a dormant period, and the skin can remain smooth.

Which is better, a home hair removal device or a beauty salon hair removal device?

1. The effect of home hair removal devices is not as fast as that of hair removal devices in hospitals. There are many home hair removal devices on the market, but because the general design concept of home hair removal devices is safety first, the energy design will be lower than that of hair removal devices in hospitals. Therefore, the effectiveness of home hair removal devices will not be as fast as laser hair removal and photon hair removal treatments in hospitals, and girls need to adhere to the treatment for a long time to get better results.

2. Home hair removal devices are more convenient and affordable. Compared with those in hospitals, home hair removal devices are easier for girls to use and save a lot of time going to the hospital and waiting in line. For office workers who work from nine to five and lie down as soon as they get home, hair removal with a home hair removal device seems to be more practical than going to the hospital for hair removal. However, whether it can actually achieve the desired effect depends on whether the girls use it according to the course of treatment.

3. Home hair removal devices are more suitable for removing hair from the trunk and limbs. Hair removal can also be selected according to the body parts. Generally, home hair removal devices are more suitable for the trunk and limbs that require large-area hair removal. For example, if you want to remove calf hair, a course of treatment takes about a year, and you need to remove hair about 5 times in between. In this way, using a home hair removal device can save us more time going to the hospital. Therefore, home hair removal devices are more suitable for removing hair from the trunk and limbs. As for hair removal in small areas such as lips, armpits, and bikini areas, it is better to go to a hospital or a clinic with medical cosmetology qualifications, because hair removal in these areas is generally not expensive, and hair removal in the hospital is faster and more obvious.

4. Home hair removal devices can be used to consolidate and maintain medical hair removal. Since home hair removal devices generally have lower energy (large medical hair removal machines can generally reach a power of 500-600 watts, while our home hair removal devices are all 20-30 watts), home hair removal devices are not fast in terms of effectiveness. Therefore, it is recommended that girls go to the hospital to complete the prescribed hair removal treatment first, and then use a home hair removal device regularly at home to consolidate and maintain the follow-up effects of laser hair removal or photon hair removal.

Are home hair removal devices really useful?

Home hair removal devices are certainly useful. Generally speaking, as long as the hair removal device is certified by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), it can achieve the same hair removal effect. However, home hair removal devices are the same as medical cosmetic hair removal methods and cannot achieve permanent hair removal effects. They will only reduce hair as you use them and maintain the effect for several years.
