Review: Silk'n Home Laser Hair Removal

The Silk'n laser hair removal system is designed for use at home. It features home pulsed light technology. This pulsed light combines the energy of the laser with the acoustic effect in a special way so that it can be used to remove unwanted hair follicles from the body.

The Silk'n home laser hair removal system uses a device which is very easy to use. It gives less pain as well. The device is about the size of an electric shaver which is why it is easy to use.

The ways in which the device works is very simple. The light pulse of the device will be activated once the flat tip is held gently by the patient. The light is then shone on the skin which absorbs the light. The skin is capable of absorbing light because it contains pigments ("melanin") that can be found in most hair. It will then generate heat which deactivates hair follicles and prevents them from growing further.

Before deciding to choose a home laser hair removal device, it is essential for the patient to understand the benefits that he or she may get from such a device. One of the advantages is that the Silk'n device is capable of delivering a result which can be compared to that obtained in a medical clinic by spending hundreds or thousands of dollars. The Silk'n home laser can be purchased for as little as US$ 800 and the hair removal results last up to 12 months.

Another advantage of the Silk'n laser is that it promises greater safety. The patient who undergoes the treatment should feel confident with regards to safety as the product has been thoroughly tested to a wide variety of safety standards and criteria and proved to be quite satisfactory.

Though the Silk'n home laser system possesses a lot of advantages, there are also some disadvantages. The prospective patient should note that it is not recommended to use the laser for facial treatments since there is no guarantee that the product will work effectively on the face.

Another disadvantage comes from the fact that up to the present time, the device is not really suitable for people with light hair. The reason is that there are insufficient pigments in light hair and the hair is not as capable of taking in light emitted from the device. This means people who have light hair may not obtain optimal results as good as those obtained by the people with the dark hair. Even for people with dark skin, it is wise to consult a physician since there is a chance of burning dark skin.

Systems designed for laser hair removal at home are improving all the time and are still being developed. The Silk'n laser is one of the readily available options on the market. Patients who are interested in a home system can obtain one from a physician.
