10 Best At-Home Laser Hair Removal Devices Of 2024, Tested By Experts

Meet Braun's newest laser hair removal device—one that the brand says is the only "smart" option in this category. What exactly does that mean? The beauty gadget connects to a compatible smartphone app via Bluetooth and WiFi technology to tailor your treatment to your personal needs. In our tests, the app was easy to download and navigate. Our tester was impressed with how well it assessed her skin tone and hair color for compatibility with the device, plus liked that it even guides you through the entire process. "It told me exactly what head to use for different areas of my body," our tester told us. "I like this feature, because I generally don't use these extra precision heads to my advantage, since I never really know which one to pick." The app even analyzes how much coverage you got to help ensure you don't miss any spots. Lastly, the app has a built-in calendar, so you'll always remember when you're due for some zaps—something testers told us can be hard to keep track of, but is key for results.

Like other Braun laser hair removal devices we've tried, this one comes in a sturdy carrying case that keeps everything neatly organized under your vanity, or wherever you choose to store it. The unit doesn't call out any specific cooling technology, but our tester said her experience was largely pain-free. "I felt a little zippiness here and there, but nothing I could actually describe as painful—more like a super quick, tiny pinch."

Overall, this device is pricier than other picks, but for someone serious about tackling the hair on their body—whether armpits, legs, Brazilian, and beyond—we think it's worth every penny, especially if you feel like you could use a little help through the process.

We first tested this laser hair removal device back in 2022, and still stand behind it as one of the best picks out there. In terms of price, it falls squarely in the middle of the pack, but it's packed with features that make it both easy and comfortable to use. Take the cooling feature, for example. Our tester said she was nervous about using laser hair removal devices, namely because she didn't want to experience any pain during treatments. "I really braced myself for that first flash," she told us. "But I can confirm that I felt absolutely nothing—yep, even 'down there.'" The manufacturer also includes eye protection. "I liked the fact that it came with aviator-style sunnies to protect my eyes—why not, right?!"

The results speak for themselves, too. "The brand says you'll see visible results within four weeks, but I honestly noticed a difference in how often I had to shave closer to three weeks," our tester said. "By about six weeks, I was tempted to forgo treatments, because results were so dramatic. Of course, that's not recommended for full results, so I went the whole 12 weeks. Now, I only see hair starting to pop up every four to six weeks."

Contributor Brigitt Earley first tested Braun's most popular laser hair removal device in the fall of 2023—to rave reviews. "The device is incredibly easy to use and really works," she told us. The brand claims you'll see results after just four weeks of use, removing all unwanted hair. "That's exactly what it did," says Earley. "I was so happy to say goodbye to my leg and armpit hair. As a working mom of four, anything that saves me time—and trust me, not having to shave is a huge time-saver—is something I'm 100% willing to invest in." Importantly, like all good laser hair removal devices, this one is also FDA-cleared for safety.

It's no surprise it's one of the bestselling models on Amazon and is widely-hyped on TikTok. Like our top overall pick by Braun, this one continuously and automatically reads your skin tone and self-adjusts the energy setting for safety and efficacy. "I love the ergonomic design of the handle, too," says Earley. "It's a lot easier to hold than some of the other options designed more like hair dryers." For larger areas of your body, you can hold down the trigger for continuous flashes—a feature our tester says speeds things up immensely.

FDA-cleared and super luxurious, Smoothskin's system is great for anyone who wants something that's easy to use and doesn't require a lot of manual work or tinkering with buttons/various features. It measures your skin before each flash and automatically selects the light best suited to your skin tone, so your dirty work is taken care of automatically.

Although it's pricey, it offers visible hair reduction in as little as four weeks. You may even notice a major difference after just one use, which is a true testament to its power.

This hair removal device cools the skin as it glides to decrease—or even eliminate—pain as you zap away hair. Even if you have a high pain tolerance, the cooling feature feels super soothing. At only $120, it's listed at a good price for its value.

And, with a max limit of 999,999 flashes, this device has enough life to help slow hair growth across your entire body, including legs and arms (I said what I said!).

This laser hair remover from Silk'n is the perfect pocket-sized follicle-zapper to throw in your purse.

Who wants to mess with razors on a beach vacation, anyway?

This device is gentle enough to use on even the most sensitive areas—think the bikini area and the upper lip. So, if you're looking for something to treat legit every area of your body without causing irritation, this is the one for you.

It also claims to reduce hair growth in as little as four 45-minute treatments. If you're looking to remove unwanted hair fast, this one's for you.

The brand claims that you may notice a major difference in your hair growth patterns after just four uses. After 12 treatments, you may notice full results. If your results aren't top-notch, they offer a one-year warranty, so you can return the device for a full refund at any time.
