The 10 Best Laser Hair-Removal Devices to Shop on Amazon

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

It’s no easy feat narrowing down a list of the best laser hair-removal devices, but thankfully, shopping them on Amazon makes the process a little smoother. The retailer offers a wide range of professional-level laser and IPL tools that reduce hair growth over the course of a few weeks, and eventually altogether with continual use.

Experts note that while there’s a bit of a learning curve when using these high-tech products, they’re worth the investment compared to more traditional hair-removal methods like shaving. “Because using lasers offers a more targeted treatment, they reduce the potential of irritation or bumps that may be associated with shaving or waxing,” board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick tells Bazaar. “Additionally, laser hair removal provides a more long-term solution than shaving or waxing.” Most laser hair-removal tools offer several settings that allow users to start low and slow to prevent accidental singeing and irritation.

Ready to update your body care routine? Remember that not all laser and IPL tools work for every skin tone and hair color, so it’s important to do thorough research on a device before committing. “Since laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment of the hair follicle, dark hairs tend to respond the best to laser hair removal,” Garshick says.

To make the selection process easier, we’ve consulted skin experts, sifted through customer reviews, and referenced our own favorites for a short list of the best laser hair-removal devices worth shopping for on Amazon. Read on for the top picks professionals and beauty enthusiasts are raving about.
