Bondi Body’s Laser@Home
Bondi Body’s Laser@Home is the most powerful permanent hair reduction system available for home use. There’s none of the pain or contortions associated with waxing and it can be used anywhere on the body except around the eyes. Like all IPL at home lasers, it’s not for those with dark skins, natural redheads or grey hair. You should see results in as little as four weeks and then it’s just a monthly top up to keep unwanted plumage at bay.
Better yet, Bondi’s Laser@Home doubles up on skin rejuvenation, improving skin texture, reducing pigmentation and broken capillary veins, though again, it’s not advised for anyone who has previously had skin cancer or who is genetically predisposed towards it. You’ll be hair free and looking younger in a flash! Find it at bondi-body.com/product/bondi-laser-home/ for £299, although they sometimes have offer codes, making it even better value.
