    Default DIY laser hair removal.

    Has anybody tried removing hair at home via laser?
    Or happen to how if this could done on the cheap by building your own hair removal machine.
    Getting laser done at a spa costs hundreds of dollars per treatment.

    Way off topic for this forum. I'm not even going to get into the legality and liability of doing this. Nor explain the workings of IPL and flashlamp pumped yag lasers.
    The correct answer is only licensed medical doctors and trained technicians can do this. Failure to observe a few precautions results in very bad burns, possible skin cancer, and spread of certain nasty skin infections.

    I removed some hair (and skin) with a very hot masonry drill bit yesterday. It looks similar to those results White-Light!

    Laser hair removal is a sensitive treatment e.g. setting the wavelength. You should better leave it to a professional. DIY can be risky. Read this page- https://canadamedlaser.ca/laser-hair-removal/

    An alternative is to have someone tie your ankles to a pickup truck and have them drag you down the road for a couple of miles. Works wonders.

    I'd stay away from DIY Laser Hair Removal..
    I'd suggest Duct/Duck Tape and a quick yank.....
    Much safer and effective.

    i use a razor, but each to their own.
    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
