The best IPL machines and laser hair removal devices offer one of the most effective ways to tackle unwanted hair at home, with longer-lasting results than shaving alone. There are, of course, other options: at-home waxing kits can keep skin smooth for longer, hair removal creams offer a fuss-free alternative, while razors and tweezers remain useful for quick touch-ups. But if you’re tired of dealing with constant regrowth, IPL and laser devices are worth considering for their ability to more effectively reduce hair growth over time.
IPL (intense pulsed light) works by targeting pigment in the hair follicle, gradually slowing regrowth with regular use. At-home devices aren’t as powerful as professional treatments, but features such as skin-tone sensors, adjustable intensity levels and larger treatment windows have made them increasingly straightforward to use.
