She tried out some of these home devices that promise to reduce and remove your hair. All right. The question everybody wants to know: did it hurt it zaps a little bit um, but you know I'll do anything for our viewers to educate them, helping them save time money, but to find more about laser hair removal devices for home, I needed a team of women Willing to zap zip openly discuss the touchy topic of hair removal. In other words, I recruited my Mom Squad to help me look into laser hair removal. Shave wax whoa what if you could remove hair permanently at home? That'S what at home laser hair removal devices like these aim to do and according to good housekeeping's, beardner Arrow, it is definitely effective, but you need to put in the time so they range from 8 to 12 weeks of continuous use and then use it as you Need them for touch-ups, but you will see hair reduction, but we're talking about devices that shoot intense pulses of light at your skin. That'S a little intimidating so to try them out. I recruited my mom's Squad and the conversation got real fast. I did the legs and I thought to myself. This would be a great thing to do on mute on a zoom call. It was much less painful than waxing for sure, but you didn't get the immediate results. My husband was impressed. I did some other parts that were a little bit more painful. The chin was not bad once I learned how to get the automatic zap zap going. That was much faster. We chose good housekeeping's top rated products in different categories. They'Re picked for best overall, the smooth skin the silken, which they said was best for darker skin tones, the brawn rated the fastest. The best cooling, a device from Kenzie and Good Housekeeping said. The best value was the news. What were the first zaps like like a rubber band snapping? You I jumped like the first time I did it. These devices Target the dark pigment in hair pulsing heat to damage the follicle, so it can't grow back to work. The hair has to be dark and the devices can't safely be used by people with certain skin tones. Mine came with a like skin tone, matching to like figure out. My skin is on the very darkest of their tones and they said, if you are not on this, then you shouldn't probably use it and Good Housekeeping says that most devices have built-in sensors for determining what will work. We, like the devices that have an automatic skin color sensor, basically we'll be able to look at the skin and determine the amount of light intensity that needs to be applied to your skin. Based on your skin tone for results, we use the devices for just eight weeks, but most manufacturers do recommend 8 to 12 weeks. I saw thinner hair, especially in my armpits. How many actually saw a result? I did a little bit. It was not as thick. I didn't see much results, I mean I have particularly thick coarse hair, so maybe I needed to do it more and for Sarah who has lighter hair, I didn't sense much result, but I think over time I would. I just think I wasn't as consistent as I would need to be. The consistency is what's going to drive the results. You know there are just reasons that this is so easy. It'S in the convenience of your home, when you want to do it now, make sure you look for a device, that's FDA cleared and you want to start small with a small, a small patch of skin, and this is not for everybody both from who says you Need to shave at all perspective, Cecilia, and it's not Equitable. The physics of these devices mean they do not work on all skin tones, so you know, take it or leave it, but it worked for me, hey it worked for you and can I just say thank you to your girlfriend squad for coming through and like really Putting it out there, ladies, you owe them lunch scan that QR code guys right there on your screen and head over to good morning america.com to shop all of these fixed Cuts.
