Forget DIY Laser Hair Removal: Why You Should Leave This Treatment to the Pros

Do-it-yourself (DIY) laser hair removal devices have become more and more popular. It’s easy to understand why they tempt many people to give them a shot — these gadgets promise salon-quality results from home, saving you time and money. 

However, before you take laser hair removal into your hands, consider a few critical factors. 

Our experienced professionals at North Texas Med360 in Frisco, Texas, offer unparalleled results and safety with Lutronic® Clarity II dual wavelength technology. Here’s why doing laser hair removal yourself is risky and why it’s best to let us zap your unwanted hair.

What the ads do not tell you about DIY laser hair removal 

The DIY laser hair removal kits might seem like a great way to remove unwanted hair, but they have limitations. 

These at-home devices are less powerful than our professional laser system, so they may require more sessions to achieve the same results. 

The notoriously vague instructions mean you can easily use it incorrectly and unsafely. 

DIY laser removal works best on people with a high level of contrast between the color of their skin and hair. It’s best for people with light skin and dark hair, not for those with dark skin and dark hair.

DIY laser hair removal systems do alright in small areas but don’t cover large areas well. 

DIY devices aren’t customizable treatments based on your unique skin type and hair color. We can adjust our professional-grade Lutronic Clarity II to accommodate different skin tones and hair textures, giving you a better, more personalized treatment.

The risks of DIY laser hair removal

At first glance, the DIY laser hair removal kits seem harmless — after all, they wouldn’t sell something unsafe — would they? Regardless of what the manufacturer says, DIY laser hair removal is risky — you can end up with:

• Burns 
• Skin irritation
• Blotchy, uneven results 
• Blisters
• Hyperpigmentation
• Infections
• Eye injury
• Permanent skin damage

Finally, DIY methods often result in patchy hair removal, leaving some areas untreated, and costing time and money.

Why trusting our professionals is a wise choice

Turning to experienced professionals for laser hair removal treatments offers several advantages, beginning with safety.
