Title: Class 4 Medical Lasers for Hair removal
Post by: Cindy on June 20, 2010, 01:53:32 AM

Anyone used these products? A local place is saying they are 30% more effective for hair removal than IPL. I'm thinking of going for a test patch.

Hmm.. I thought any laser was better then IPL, but that most suggestions are that th 694nm lasers have the best penetration to the root?

I also see that Philips have just launched their home IPL...

...another waste of money...or something that finally works?  ::)
