Laser Hair Removal That Works on ALL Skin Tones — Finally!
Nov 07. 2024 by Shaver Shop Team


Let’s be honest — hair removal can be the worst. Shaving with a dodgy razer? Cuts and never-ending stubble, no thanks! Waxing? Ouch. Depilatory creams? Smelly and hit-or-miss. If you’ve been searching for a solution that actually works, doesn’t require a lifetime commitment, and won’t leave you with regrets (or razor burn), then we've got news: laser hair removal is the real deal. And now, thanks to Epilaser, you can start laser hair removal in the comfort of your home for the very first time, on any skin tone!

I’ve heard about both laser and IPL before, but what’s the difference?
Both methods are types of long-term hair removal designed to stop hair from growing back. IPL, which stands for intense pulse light, is a system of hair removal which is light based, where pulses of light are emitted through the skin to the hair follicle to damage it and lay it dormant. Laser uses concentrated, precise beams of light to contact the follicle, meaning it can seek out the follicle directly without losing efficiency by travelling through the skin first. This also means that unlike IPL, you can effectively enjoy long term hair removal, even on darker skin tones.

While both of these methods of hair removal yield great long term results, laser is more efficient at targeting specific follicles and can also be used on a wider breadth of skin and hair types. Because the laser beam does not travel through the skin to reach the follicle, it is able to be used on darker skin types as the melanin in the skin doesn’t block the laser from reaching the follicle. It can also be used on lighter hair types and red hair as it can detect these hair follicles much easier than IPL can. There are also no restrictions for sun exposure before or after using the device like there is with IPL, but of course always be sun safe!
The Epilaser Difference: Advanced Technology, Superior Results
The Epilaser Auto Laser Device is like having a personal laser technician in your hands. It’s the first ever laser that detects the hair follicles and targets them precisely for efficient at-home laser hair removal. It’s safe and easy to use at home, and rather than needing to shave beforehand like IPL, you can simply trim or have stubble in the areas you wish to treat. The Epilaser is perfect for people who have never had any IPL or laser treatments previously, or for those who just need touch-ups post-treatment.
So how does it work?
The device’s smarts vision system takes a picture and analyses the skin area to determine the exact location of the hairs and calibrates the laser for optimal treatment. The system is then activated, with 4 lasers focusing on a 1mm spot directly over each follicle. Once it locks onto the target, the lasers go to work eliminating hair at the root — without unnecessary heat spreading through your skin. This direct targeting of the hair follicle helps to treat the hair efficiently without the risk of burning or irritation.
Which one is best for my skin type?
There are two models of the Epilaser. The 808 carries a 808nm wavelength, suitable for skin types placed I-IV on the Fitzpatrick scale, and the 980 has a 980nm wavelength for skin types V and VI. Otherwise, both units function the same. Both have 4 diode lasers that emit 24J/cm2 for ultra-efficient treatment.
