A popular at-home device is metal forceps (also called tweezers) that manually pull hairs out one by one (or a few at a time) by the root. Forceps are curved, stainless steel and work well in hard-to-reach places. This process is temporary, but lasts longer than other short-term hair removal procedures. Silk’n, ranked pretty highly for effectiveness, safety and comfort, is one of the simplest devices on the market today—it operates on pulsed light. The Tria personal laser is an actual laser and the No!No! uses heat to remove unwanted hair. For less than $300, you can get any one of these three appliances. All of these products make hair removal at-home easier, but these devices are not better than going to your practitioner for professional hair removal techniques.
