FDA Approved Home Laser Hair Removal Systems

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 03, 2009 – The first home laser hair removal systems were given the stamp of approval by the FDA in 2008 which means big time savings for those who still have unwanted hair.   Silk’n and Tria, both under a $1,000, were used by ABC correspondent Becky Worley who said, “they do sting a bit and leave some redness”.  A redness she described as a light “road rash” after using the Silk’n device. It eventually disappeared in a couple of days and left no scar..  Silk’n took all of 15 minutes to cover the entire lower leg, but the Tria took 40 minutes as it covered less surface. Worley also said that the Tria “hurt less”.  The informal experiment led her to conclude, “I have 70 percent less hair on the Silk’n leg and about 30 percent less hair on the Tria leg”
The two companies issued statements right after Worley’s findings.  Silk’n addressed the issue of pain by saying it had 5 energy settings and that using the highest energy setting to achieve hair reduction wasn’t necessary.  On the other hand, Tria claimed its laser technology provided better  hair removal results in the long run than Silk’n’s low powered pulsed light which appeared to remove a lot of hair at the beginning of the treatment but grew back shortly.
A word of warning to users though—the FDA has not approved the use of these devices on the face.
Price tags for these two home laser hair removal systems, Silk’n $499, the Tria, $795.
