Home Laser Hair Removal: The Rio and the Epila Laser Hair Removal Systems

Getting rid of unwanted hair is a tedious process. You have to shave, epilate, or wax every few days or weeks just so you can flaunt your gorgeous legs in a cute skirt. In a few days, the unwanted hairs you’ve recently dealt with manage to grow back. However, with home laser hair removal, saying goodbye to unsightly hair proves to be convenient, fast, and permanent. Women and men who opt for laser hair removal treatment only usually need 6-10 sessions depending on the body area. While the small number of treatments needed is convenient, it may be heavy on both the actual cost per session and your gas expenses. Thankfully, you can now reap the benefits of laser hair removal in the comfort of your own home. Take a look at these two options for home laser hair removal – the Epila and the Rio Laser Hair Removal Systems.

Epila Laser Hair Remover

This device is efficient and safe, so it’s perfect for home use. The Epila Laser Hair Remover uses a diode laser to combat the growth of unwanted hair. The device has three settings—low, medium, high—for you to adjust according to the sensitivity of your skin. Working on one leg may take up to 60 minutes and you’ll have to repeat the treatment every 2 weeks for about 4 to 8 months until you finally disable hair growth. This is a lot handier than shaving once or twice a week.

The Epila Laser Hair Remover comes with sensors and timers that ensure its safety during use. Though the device is FDA and CE approved, using it to remove facial hair, especially around the eyes, is unadvisable.

Rio Laser Hair Removal System

Rio Laser Hair Removal System (available in UK) uses a scanning laser that comes with two treatments: one which works on the individual hairs, and another which targets a bigger area and works on up to 20 hairs in seconds. This way, the device allows easy touch-ups without having to expose the whole area to the laser. As with any other laser treatment, several sessions are needed to permanently get rid of unwanted hair.

The Rio Laser Hair Removal System comes with cooling mechanisms to avoid the risks of burns, blisters, or skin inflammation. It uses an 808-nm diverging laser that works safely on the skin, leaving no risk for the skin. Other safety features include a skin contact check and a digital power output control.
