I’m pretty over shaving constantly, but I don’t think I can afford to go somewhere to get laser or electrolysis done professionally right now. How effective are at-home options? Which models of devices are recommended, if any?

    Only laser is more permanent. Also epilator is not advisable for the face (personally wouldn’t recommend it at all).

        Laser is classified as temporary because about 10% of hair will come back while electrolysis is 100% effective if done right.

        As for at home solutions, I’ve heard that at home laser isn’t strong enough/isn’t the right type of laser to be permanent, and shouldn’t be used on facial hair anyway because it’s thicker and stiffer, which makes laser less effective on it.
