We’ve all spent so long waxing, shaving and epilating our body hair, it’s hard to remember there are other options – some of which have significant advantages when it comes to pain, ease of use and long lasting results, as these best IPL machines prove.
Laser hair removal uses pulses of light to damage hair follicles and prevent regrowth, leading to longer lasting smoothness. You will have to redo some areas, but it will still last considerably longer than waxing, shaving or other forms of hair removal.
You will need to read product advice before you buy, however. While this is generally good practice for any big purchase, it’s particularly important with laser hair removal products, as some don’t work on all skin types or hair colours, and those with darker skin or lighter hair may find machines less efficient.
Here’s our pick of the best. Upvote the laser hair remover you'd choose.
Why not take a look at the best hair straighteners, as tested by our expert. And if IPL isn't your thing, then try out the best epilators for hair removal.
