Laser and IPL at-home devices are a long-term way to rid skin of unwanted hair, with little pain, discomfort and downtime. But how do they work, and what's the difference between laser and IPL?

Intense pulsed light (IPL) technology destroys the hair root using energy emitted by light waves, while lasers disable hair follicle pigment over time, converting laser beams to heat when it comes into contact with skin.

IPL is almost completely painless, too – at most it can feel like a bit of warmth on the skin. And while laser can feel like a slight hot pinch sometimes, the more you use it the less sensation it will deliver as there's less hair to target over time.

Due to the complex technology, at-home devices from brands such as Philips, Braun and Sensica are often a big investment, costing hundreds of pounds. To help you find the right one for your hair removal needs and budget, we've compiled the top 12 laser and IPL machines. Each treats legs, the bikini line, underarms and face.

Laser and IPL at-home devices also often see huge flash discounts applied, some of which we've included in this list with hundred of pounds to save up for grabs.

When using a laser or IPL device, it's key to remember it's a marathon not a sprint. Most have a treatment plan of 12 weeks and can be used weekly or bi-weekly. You will also need to shave areas in between treatments as your skin needs to be as smooth as possible to see the best results. Consistency is key when it comes to this type of hair removal.
