The Best At-Home Hair Removal Devices
For Long-Lasting Results
Lumea Series 9900 BRI951/01 Cordless IPL Hair Removal Device With Skin Technology, £449.99 (was £599.99) | Philips
The original version of this IPL (intense pulsed light) device launched in 2010, revolutionising the at-home hair removal market with its professional-level, long-lasting results. Now, 15 years and many updates later, this latest iteration is pretty much flawless. Targeting hair follicles by drawing the light energy to the pigment in them, with regular use it can easily and painlessly leave you smooth skinned and hair free for 18 months or more. The one downside? No IPL – in-salon or at home – can be used on very dark skin tones, due to the fact it targets melanin. Nor does it work brilliantly on super fair hair, due to the lack of pigment.

For Face-To-Feet Hair Removal
IPL Hair Removal Device Air 3, £319.99 | Ulike
This innovative device pairs tried and tested IPL with an ‘advanced cooling system’ that keeps the cooling head at a constant temperature (19.4°C, to be precise), meaning on even the most sensitive of areas (such as the upper lip or bikini line) it’ll feel warm but never uncomfortable or hot. And the results are impressive too, with clinical studies showing that with consistent use you could see up to 93% hair reduction in just four weeks.

For Any Skin Tone
Silk-Épil 9 9/890 Epilator, £175.99 (was £219.99) | Braun
Unlike IPL, epilators can be used on any hair colour or skin tone. Although the concept sounds painful, this technology glides close to the skin with a massaging roller to capture even the shortest of hairs in a quick and painless way – even more so if you use it in the shower or bath. With a pivoting head that follows your contours, it’s easy to manoeuvre over knees and ankles – plus, the kit comes with a tiny trimmer for touch-ups.
