Home hair removal put to the test: From a handheld laser treatment to a waterless razor, FEMAIL reveals the best way to keep your pins fuzz free - best at home skin care devices

For many women, summer means hiding our legs when we throw away the 40-year-old tights and embrace the shorter skirt.
But small things that make your legs smooth and hairless can be full of difficulties.
Whether it's shaving (dry skin) or waxing (ouch), this process can be a minefield.
So which one is the best?
If you can't face a visit to a beauty salon these days, you can try all kinds of gadgets at home.
We tested everything from the waterless razor to the 239-hot device --
There is a lot of pain and some very complicated results. 1. The no! no!
Super rice: From "No! no!
Siobenbrennan, 32, from London, explained that Ultra uses thermicon technology to send heat signals to hair, disrupting the growth process.
Unlike laser and IPL hair removal, it is said to apply to all skin and hair types.
Starting at £ 239, this is a huge investment, but this stylish, small gadget has made some big promises.
"It works by connecting the Thermicon tip and running the roller on your skin at a 90 degree angle, delivering a heat signal to the hair.
When I tried it on my leg, it did leave a slight smell of burning hair, but it was not worse than the smell of depilation, nor did I find it particularly bad --putting.
I felt a slight heat on my skin, but it was small and I felt like it was completely painless.
"I would definitely recommend this method to those who often shave or use creams because of low pain thresholds.
After running the device on the skin, you need to use a buffer to remove the hair completely.
"I found it to be very effective in removing longer, finer hairs, but it doesn't seem to work much for shorter, thicker hairs.
"I'm expecting more considering the high price, but I do have very stubborn, thick dark hair and I suspect this gadget is not a tough enough opponent.
"Another downside is that you have to check the same area over and over again, which is more time consuming than shaving.
"I'm interested in using it for a long time to see what the result is after a few days and the hair it removes is still gone.
If you want to have perfectly smooth legs on the same day, it's not something to use and it seems like a long term investment.
However, I was impressed by the fact that it was completely painless.
You can also get the cleaning brush and micro massage accessories and inject the skin with blood clearing and cream, which does a great job in making your skin feel soft and refreshing.
Overall, however, given the price tag, I hope to achieve better results immediately.
'VERDICT: 3/52.
BodyVerde must go to GoPrice at speed: GBP.
80' actually a Bodyverde razor made for men assures you that there will be water
Chardonnay Dawes, 27, from London, explained.
However, you still need the shaving foam inside
You have to put it in a cubicle on the razor.
So it's not that much trouble-
As free as I originally thought.
It's quite confusing trying to spray shaving foam or soap into the compartment, but once it comes in, you can release it by just pressing the button.
"The shave itself is very good and you can see this from the male Shaver because the blades are usually much better.
I don't get anything nasty, but I don't like the feeling of shaving just with cream --
I really miss being able to rinse my legs off.
"In the end, it's ideal for men out there, but I'm not going to use it in a day --to-
On the basis of the day, more is in the event of a holiday emergency.
'VERDICT: 3/53. The Braun Silk-
Yueé pil SkinSpa 9961e dual-purpose dehair remover ExfoliatorPrice: millions of pounds.
"I 've never tried depilation before, so I 'd love to try this and see if it's as painful as I 've heard," Sifra said . ". 'Braun's Silk-
Ppil 9 can be wet and dry, but when I realized it had two I almost fell down on the first fencepin plug.
I'm not well versed in beauty gadgets and don't know if this is common, but it could be a downside if you don't have the right plug socket.
"Luckily I have a two pin outlet in the bathroom for razors etc, but be aware before you buy.
There is no doubt that this contains some pain, but there is nothing closer than I thought --
Although my threshold is very high.
It causes a slight pinch and you get used to it very quickly, it's not as bad as waxing your legs, though I think it may not be too easy for those with lower tolerance
"The depilator effectively emits the hair from the root, making the legs very smooth.
It takes half an hour to finish, so it takes more time than shaving, but lasts longer.
One downside is that after a few hours, the follicles look red and angry, and the instructions do warn that you may be red afterwards, which is the same as you expected after waxing at the salon.
After two days my legs still feel good and smooth and over time the hair should be softer as you continue to depilate.
I will completely convert to depilation after using this device.
It works on shorter hair, so there is no waiting for regeneration between wax
And not so painful.
"It's a bit tricky to use the device in areas like the knee and around the ankle, but to be precise, I used Braun's facial depilator to fix this!
It is also equipped with skin protector accessories for hair removal bikini line, as well as razors for the same area and two horny brushes.
"Considering the price of salon wax compared to the effect and the extra accessories you get, I think this price is well worth it.
'VERDICT: 5/54.
Pearl Hair: 89.
I am automatically skeptical about any form of hair.
Claiming to be painless removal
Unity Blott, 26, from London, says, especially when it works by "crystal" your hair, kill it with a strong heat burst.
"But that's exactly what this gadget does, and I was pleasantly surprised when I started to slide the Pearl over the skin.
Except for some moderate heat of the metal roller and a slight washout of the heat transfer tip (a bit like width-
The tooth comb you run on your skin) The depilation process itself does not hurt a little.
"Even better, it's completely silent, so you can do that while watching TV or listening to the radio.
The instructions warn that when you learn to get the hang of it, it can take up to 45 minutes (legs) for your first few apps ), and suggest lighting a scented candle in your room to cover up the smell of tired hair.
"The first time I tried, I accidentally let the Pearl stay on a piece of skin for too long and get burned --
So it's better to move on.
My hair was more or less gone when I was done, but it wasn't as smooth as you did with a new razor.
I will not recommend this quick solution before the holidays as the result will not last for a day or two.
However, the pearl was advertised
Long term solution for removing hair, the idea is that your follicles will weaken over time and your hair will eventually become thinner.
So while the results may not be immediate, it's a hassle --
Free, painless way to get a smooth leg out at night.
'VERDICT 4/55.
Of all the methods tested, I have to admit to being cynical about Shinylegs, which is basically a horny pad that can buff the hair and make the legs very smooth.
"It works by attaching an adhesive crystal pad to a pink round attachment and rubbing on the skin in a circular motion.
"Surprisingly, it does work.
It doesn't work very well for shorter hair, but longer fine hair will disappear.
The downside is that the falling off of the mat seems to bring more hair to the surface you can't see before.
"Again, I think thick, dark hair will be a tough hair for any product, and I can imagine that this product is softer and whiter for anyone with any hair
Overall, a very impressive product costs only £ 10.
'VERDICT: 4/56.
Philips Lumea color light-
Laura Chivas, 29, of London, said the price of 300: 300 'I am unfortunate because I am white and have stubborn dark body hair.
However, I was lucky because it made removal depilation the ideal candidate.
For input pulses of light, it is much easier to separate black from white.
Philips Lumea in-
This home handheld device is very effective, although the price is cheap.
Philips claims that after four double scans, the laser will reduce your hair by 75
Weekly treatment (2 months )-tall claims.
"It took me longer than this, I 've been doing it for five months, but now it's safe to say that my legs are very smooth.
"You have to shave your legs before each treatment, then move the device up and down until you take every piece of skin clean.
It takes about six minutes for each leg.
Because boredom scared me, I did it in front of the TV.
"The device has five" strength "settings, which I have set to level 4.
Level 5 stimulates the skin very slightly, a bit like a elastic band, but level 4 is pain-free -
My pain threshold is very low, so that's what it says.
"I did get some very slight and incomplete regeneration after two weeks of shaving --
I can't tell you how smug I am about this, because it took 24 hours to hold up the ugly head before.
"So is the price worth it?
Loud is.
Long hairy legs are now a pain, I have completely crossed out of my list of concerns, and this novelty has not worn out.
I don't have to wax anymore.
'VERDICT: 5/57.
Tria Hair Removal Laser 4 XPrice: £ claims to be "the first and only clinical --
Verified cordless lasers are available for home use, "using the same diode laser technology that dermatologists use to target and permanently disable follicles," Lara said . ".
"Basically, it's stronger than any other company on the market, and therefore, it hurts a lot.
No, it really hurts. like a split-
The second bee sting every time you zap.
"The laser tip is also very small, so it takes longer than other devices to handle large areas like your legs.
Nevertheless, the results are quite amazing.
As I said, I am very poor about the pain, and I can't go above level 2 in five intensity settings.
Until I found a godsend for a product called "master numbing", a local anesthetic containing caffeine.
It's only available in the US, but if you're a wimpy person like me, it's the only thing Tria can put up.
I skipped my legs because of its small tip, but spent three months under my underarm and bikini line and now it's completely hairless. No regrowth.
But I also use it around my thighs and stubborn knees to attack hair that Philips can't conquer --
The task is completed. 'Verdict?
Brilliant, deliver on the promise, but be prepared to be afraid of every treatment before completing the work.
