Clinic vs At-Home Laser Hair Removal: What’s Right for You?
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular long-term solutions for smoother, hair-free skin. But with the rise of at-home IPL devices, many people find themselves wondering: Should I go to a clinic or try laser hair removal at home?
In this blog, we’ll break down the differences between professional laser treatments using the Eneka PRO Diode Laser system and at-home IPL devices, so you can make the most informed decision for your skin and lifestyle.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in your hair follicles using light energy, which damages the follicle enough to significantly reduce or stop future hair growth. There are two main types of technologies you can find:
- Professional Diode Laser (e.g., Eneka PRO): Delivers highly concentrated laser energy that penetrates deep into the follicle for long-lasting results.
- At-Home IPL Devices: Use broad-spectrum, scattered light with lower intensity. These devices are less powerful and typically require more frequent use for visible results.
At Movmore Clinic, we use the Eneka PRO, a premium, medical-grade Diode Laser system known for its safety, effectiveness, and suitability for all skin types. While other clinics may use different types of lasers, Eneka PRO is recognised for delivering consistent results with fewer sessions and minimal discomfort.
Its professional-grade performance puts it well ahead of at-home IPL devices, making it the preferred choice for those seeking lasting, reliable hair reduction.
Why Choose Professional Laser Hair Removal with Eneka PRO?
Eneka PRO Diode Laser is one of the most advanced laser hair removal technologies available today. Here's how this system, and the clinical setting, offers real advantages:
- 80–90% hair reduction after a full course of treatments
- Powerful, deep follicle targeting with high precision for long-lasting results
- Safe for all skin types, including tanned or darker skin tones
- Adjustable intensity levels, allowing us to tailor each session to your comfort and skin sensitivity
- Quick treatment times, making it easy to fit full-body sessions into your schedule
- Performed by trained professionals, ensuring safety, accuracy, and optimal results
- Convenient online booking, so appointments work around your life
With clinic laser hair removal, you get results that are more consistent, faster, and safer than any at-home device could offer.
At-Home Devices: Convenient, But Are They Enough?
At-home IPL devices are easy to find online, and they offer convenience and flexibility. You can treat yourself whenever and wherever you like. But that’s where the benefits mostly end.
Here’s what you should know:
- Much lower power output than clinic-grade lasers
- Scattered light = shallow skin penetration
- Limited effectiveness, especially for coarse hair or darker skin
- Risk of user error, including skin burns or patchy results
- Small treatment windows = longer time for large areas
- Often require more frequent treatments to maintain results
At-home IPL can work well for maintenance or small areas, but doesn’t match the strength or safety of Eneka PRO in a clinical setting.
Which Option is Best for You?
Ask yourself:
- Do I want lasting results with fewer sessions?
- Am I treating larger areas like legs, chest, or back?
- Is my skin tone or hair colour tricky to treat?
If you answered yes to any of these, Eneka PRO laser hair removal at Movmore Clinic is your best bet. Not only does it deliver powerful results, but it does so safely and efficiently, guided by expert hands.
However, if you're looking for a lower-cost way to maintain in-between sessions or treat small areas at your own pace, at-home IPL can still be useful, just manage your expectations.
