At home laser hair removal is also an option over going to a spa or clinic. You can perform the treatments in the privacy of home at your convenience while owning a personal device. Working similarly to the professional treatments, the best candidates are those with light skin and dark hair and require multiple treatments for optimal results.
Although you can save a substantial amount of money over professional treatments, look very carefully into the model before purchasing so you don’t waste your money. And like with any high-tech device, make sure to fully read the instructions and precautions before using.

A cordless rechargeable diode laser cleared by the FDA for use on the neck down, it has three (most recent version now has five) adjustable settings to control the amount of heat. A skin sensor comes in the kit to test your skin tone, and only if you pass with a green light will the Tria unlock for use.

Although it's not a laser, it used pulsed light, which works similarly to laser hair removal to disable hair growth. Cleared by the FDA also for use on the neck down applying this Home Pulsed Light? (HPL?) technology, or optical energy to disable hair growth. It has five adjustable settings going from low to high and is made by HomeSkinovations. Their newest model Silk'n SensEpil has a built-in skin sensor to check skin tone for safety.

It's a diode laser for home, and the fact that it's cheaper than Silk'n and Tria is appealing. But it's not cleared by the FDA, the guidelines and negative feedback on this product will have you thinking twice before purchasing.
