Why you should never undergo laser hair removal with an at home laser hair removal machine.

When we are removing your hair, we are using light to do that which is why it is important that the right machine is used.

The difference between a home machine and the machine we use here at Havana skin clinic is that the light and the spectrum of light that doesn’t travel as deep as the light as one you would find in an aesthetic clinic. Basically, the quality of the laser is significantly better than the one found in the NO NO device which can be purchased to use at home. As the energy from the laser isn’t going fully down to the bulb of the hair, most of the energy is being absorbed superficially on the ski making it more dangerous.

When we use the LightSheer duet by Lumenis, we’re going straight to the target and attacking where the hair is created in the hair shaft while bi passing the melanin in the surface of the skin and the epidermis making the procedure safe to perform.

Think of it like this, if you wanted to get your hair cut you wouldn’t cut it at home, you would go a professional to get the best results possible. It’s also like shaving your legs with a trimmer, you will reduce hair but be left with half a job done and lots of stubble.
