Home laser hair removal machine for hirsutism?

Unfortunately I have very bad hair growth (hirsutism) due to my PCOS.

I am having IPL laser hair removal on my face however I cannot afford this for the rest of my body. Therefore I am considering buying a hair removal machine that I can use at home and be able to use everywhere. I was wondering if anyone has one and if it is effective or not.

I am considering 'Philip Lumea Prestige BRI956/00 IPL Hair Removal Device' or 'Iluminage Touch Permanent Hair Removal Device'.

Any advice or recommendations will be much appreciated.

Thanks :)

Laser is better than IPL as it is stronger and quicker - look at the reviews for them but I know lots of ladies have been relatively happy with home ipl machines as long as you do it as advised.

Definitely Tria x4! This is not an ipl it’s a laser device so it’s much more stronger so will work better for you
