Having hair on your body parts is natural. You don’t always need a permanent hair removal device to get rid of hair. However, you only need such a device to remove unwanted hair. Yes, not all hair is unwanted even if you don’t like them.
Hair is a completely normal, natural, and necessary part of your body. You may not need to remove your body hair if you don’t feel like or are not compelled to do so – it’s a personal choice. However, if you are the type that likes putting on shorts, skimpy skirts, sleeveless blouses, or any other clothes that reveal more of your skin, or if you are a model that showcases bare body often, you wouldn’t appreciate excess hair on your body.
Excess body hair sometimes may seem embarrassing, especially in unwanted body areas. So, nobody wants excess body hair in undesirable places as it can be damaging to one’s confidence.
Everybody prefers a soft, smooth, utterly hair-free skin surface or a skin with lighter, softer, and finer hair. As a result, many have turned to conventional depilation methods as an indispensable part of their beauty and grooming routine.
However, after experiencing the many downsides of conventional depilation methods – razor cut, speedy re-growth, irritation, redness, ingrown hairs, etc. – you may quickly get sick of razor shaving, waxing, tweezing, or electrolysis, etc. and consider other permanent hair removal methods.
The device for permanent hair removal is usually laser-powered. A permanent hair removal device offers the longest-lasting results than conventional depilation methods. Although permanent hair removal methods are not completely permanent due to cell regeneration, you might go on several weeks without having to redo the hair removal treatment.
Devices for permanent hair removal works with the aid of either high-heat lasers or intense pulsed lights (IPL) that dissolve the hair strands and temporarily disable the hair follicles. This process prevents hair follicles from producing new hair strands for several weeks.
Initially, you need to visit a dermatologist for a professional laser hair removal, which is not always the most convenient and budget-friendly option.
Hence, you might consider the next best thing, which is using an advanced at-home laser hair removal device. At-home laser hair removal gadgets are not only affordable but can also be used at your own convenience.
I have reviewed four of these devices for permanent hair removal based on their cost, efficacy, and safety. Please note that all three devices are IPL gadgets that work similarly. Read on my permanent hair removal device review to see which device best suits your purpose.
Note that at-home device for permanent hair removal works very similarly to the professional laser hair removal treatments, but uses lower energy levels and is more time-consuming.

How to Use Silk’n Jewel XL Permanent Hair Removal Device?
Before you start your first session, decide on which energy level you want to use (I recommend you start from the lower level as your skin may be sensitive and you may end up burning your skin, or getting some other unexpected side effects).
More so, decide on the area of skin you want to use the device on by checking the chart on the bottom of the product pack.
- Plug the corresponding adaptor cord into the gadget socket and plug the other end into an electrical power source.
- Prepare the area of skin to treat by ensuring that the area is razor shaved (not tweezed, plucked or waxed), cleaned, dried, and free of any skincare products.
- Press the control button to turn on the device, you should hear the rolling fan. The device is set to energy level 1 by default. Once the Ready light comes up, your device is ready to use.
- To change the energy level, press the control button repeatedly until you reach your desired level.
- Place the treatment surface onto the skin. Once the treatment surface is in full contact, the ready light starts to blink slowly. The device automatically detects your skin colour and if you have set the device on the correct energy level, it will flash a pulse of light and you may feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling.
- Continue to either pulse or glide the device on your skin depending on the energy level.
- When you are finished, turn off the device by pressing and holding the control button for a few seconds. Remove the adapter from the electrical power source.
