Best Laser Hair Removal Systems in the UK

IPL photo epilation is a pain-free and time-saving hair removal method and with this state-of-the-art device by Philips, keeping your skin perfectly smooth will be as easy as never before. Developed with dermatologists and clinically tested, this laser hair removal kit will help you gradually decrease the amount of body hair in a safe and effective way.

The hair removal device is recommended for users with dark blonde, brown or black hair and variable skin tones (from very white to dark brown). Note, however, that this epilating method is not recommended for women with red, light blonde, white or grey hair or very dark skin. This handy device has 5 energy settings and to take the guesswork out of choosing the most suitable one, it has the SmartSkin sensor introduced for detecting your skin tone and indicating the most comfortable mode.

For even more customised care, the laser hair machine comes with a set of attachments perfectly shaped to ensure proper contact with your skin when used on different body areas. For example, the included underarm attachment has a curved-out design ideal for treating this hard-to-reach area. The bikini attachment also has a curved design that perfectly complements your body shape. The curved-in body attachment has the largest window for maximum contact with your legs, stomach and arms. Finally, the face attachment for removing unwanted hair on your upper lip, jawline or chin has a small flat window and an extra filter for safe treatment of these sensitive areas. We should also add that each attachment activates the programme that was specially created for treating the corresponding area.

The Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 is by far one of the best and most pleasant hair removers on the market. It's smaller and lighter than its predecessor but when it comes to its technical components, it's a bit more sophisticated.

Regarding the method it uses, it is the same as other IPL machines - you need to shave the area first and then position the device over your skin and press the button to emit the laser light. Speaking of the treatment methods, you get two options - Gliding and Stamping. The former is performed using the Standard head and is best used for larger areas. You simply keep the button pressed and run the hair remover over your legs while the light keeps flashing on and off as you go. The latter involves using the Precision head (included in the set) and pressing the button intermittently. This method is more effective for smaller areas such as the bikini line, underarms, knees, ankles, and face. These two working methods in combo along with interchangeable heads add to the flexibility of the device, favourably setting it apart from many rivals.

Another thing that adds appeal to the Silk Expert Pro 5 is that it's a plug and play device. You don't have any network connections to make and all you need to do is simply plug it in a power socket, choosing one of the 10 intensity levels and 3 comfort modes (standard, gentle and extra gentle). Besides that, the device's fitted with a sensor that cleverly "reads" your skin tone, automatically adjusting the light intensity to provide the best effect while keeping it safe. In case it detects an invalid skin tone, the light will not flash.

What also sets this piece of equipment over the competition is the fact that it comes with an accompanying Android/iOS Silk Expert pro App to track your treatments. The app is well-designed, has handy instructional videos, guides your treatment according to your skin and hair type, as well as giving you reminders of when to do your next procedure. Very useful in the absence of an expert consultation.

Women all across the globe choose Lumea devices for their great performance, nice design, and exceptional durability. And the model in question is an advanced model that has undergone some improvements to be the best in the Lumea lineup.

While the basic functions remain almost the same, there are certainly some nice enhancements. For instance, the sound is now a little more muted and the rose-metal design is a tad bit classier. The Lumea looks less like a hospital treatment but more like a luxury beauty device.

It's also become smaller and now weighs nearly 200g, meaning it's far easier to handle. Unlike some other Lumea models, this one can only be used corded. Luckily, it comes with a 2-meter lead, so we're not really seeing the corded operation as a negative. Plus, the corded devices typically ensure the faster recharge between flashes, and this one is no exception.

The IPL system boasts a quality build and fantastic performance. You can use it for long years without any drop in functionality. The results from this treatment are really on par with treatments available from costly clinics or spas.

Would you like to make a once-in-a-lifetime purchase without a need to spend extra money on consumables and spare bulbs? If so, the SlkySmooth IPL Hair Removal Device may catch your fancy. It's an innovative device that stands out from the competition with its incredible ability to provide up to 999,999 flashes, which is twice more than its rivals. What's more, it offers great performance with no loss in efficiency, allowing you to enjoy smooth results for many years. 

Thanks to such an incredible bulb life, you will not need to change any bulbs throughout the whole life of the device (a lifelong guarantee is provided by the manufacturer) and will be able to use it even for giving salon-like sessions to your friends if you want. Offering 5 energy levels and 2 modes (manual and automatic), the device offers fast, safe, and professional hair removal results for men and women alike. The manual mode will give you control over the bikini line while the auto mode will ensure effective treatment of larger body areas, like women's legs or men's back.

Designed for all skin sensitivity and treatment levels, the system can be used on a vast variety of skin tones and hair colours. It's even compatible with quite fair hair as long as it's not red or completely white. As it's typically the case with similar systems, no matter your skin or hair type, you should shave the hair before epilating. And if you have extremely sensitive skin, it’s better to apply some moisturising gel additionally before and after the treatment.

Do you still think that it's impossible to get a decent hair removal IPL device within the £100 range? The Homkeen system is here to prove the opposite. Available for less than £70, it's one of those rare products that offer a bit more than its retail price, and some users even claim that it's a better value than some branded models available on the market today.

The development of this IPL system has involved collaboration with professional engineers and dermatologists, which resulted in exceptional build quality - the Homkeen hair removal device is fitted with high-quality quartz lamps along with an integrated lamp head. And whereas many other IPL epilators have low penetrating power, the wavelength of this one reaches 522-1120 nm. That means the light is perfectly absorbed by the hair follicle rather than dissipates in the epidermis and blood, so you get the better permanent hair removal results.

Another great thing that adds to the efficacy of this device is the extra-long lifespan. The lamps provide up to 500,000 flashes without loss in performance, so you'll never need to buy a replacement cartridge for this system.
