Rechargeable Mini Lady Shaver - PinkRubis - Classic Slanted TweezersHow we testWhen testing hair removal products, we go beyond the claims and use each device as part of a real routine, both at home and while travelling.We trial everything from laser and IPL devices (over long periods of time to track regrowth), to waxing kits, shavers and dermaplaning tools that are best suited for ease of use and comfort. We look at the effectiveness of these across different hair types and parts of the body - from underarms and legs to underarms and bikini lines.For laser hair removal devices, we test every few weeks over a period of a couple of months in order to give clear, transparent results. Results are also best achieved with rest periods every two weeks. We let our hair grow out thoroughly before testing and tried everything from high tech devices and simple tweezers.When using tweezers, we make sure there is enough hair - including short, stubborn ones and fully-grown ones - to see a clear difference in the shape afterwards. While testing each product out on various areas of the body, we also consider pain levels, skin sensitivity and how beginner-friendly each option is.Portability matters too. We assess how easy the products are to pack and use on the go, alongside build quality, design and overall value.You can read more about our testing methodologies across all product categories.Best hair removal products1. Best Laser: Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser (2nd Gen) Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser (2nd Gen)★★★★★'Delivering up to 233% more power than IPL, Tria's precision at-home laser hair removal technology is the closest to clinics, at a single, targeted wavelength of 810nm - the perfect wavelength to target and permanently disable hair follicles.'What we loveSimple to useThe device was easy to set up and use efficientlyPainlessSurprisingly not as painful as waxing and epilatingWhat could be betterCostThis is an investment, so make sure you're committed!ReviewBy Erin WaksWith Tria's laser hair remover, you're promised clinically proven, permanent at-home hair reduction, with users seeing up to 100 per cent hair reduction in eight treatments and up to 75 per cent hair reduction in just two treatments, according to research.It's also the safest, strongest model from the brand.It even has expert endorsement, with Dr Zakia Rahman MD, clinical professor of Dermatology at Stanford University, saying: 'Tria Laser represents the best, safest, easiest to use and most effective laser technology available for permanently eliminating unwanted hair.'With such an impressive promise, I gave it a try myself.I was pleasantly surprised - I really didn't find it painful at all.When I used the highest level, it felt like a slight pinprick on my underarms, but it was nowhere near as bad as using my epilator or having a wax.In terms of results, you're advised to use it every two weeks for three months, so time will tell. But I found the process quick, easy and painless.Reviews from other users are overwhelmingly positive, with one saying: 'I have used several IPL devices and there is no comparison to this laser device. It works extremely well. I would definitely recommend it to you.'A second wrote: 'Yes, it has really been more than 10 years and my results are the same as they were when I stopped treatment. Underarm and bikini area 100 per cent hairless and legs probably 90-95 per cent hairless but the hair that remains is very fine and lighter in color so I only shave every four weeks or so and honestly I could go longer. I definitely got my moneys worth and recommend the Tria laser.'It should be noted, it only works on certain skin tones and hair colours - so it's worth checking if it's compatible before you buy.Best IPLs1.
