<p>A laser hair removal device (10) is disclosed, having a base unit (12) and a hand held laser wand (14). Laser (18) generates light pulses of sufficient energy and duration to damage papilla of each hair follicle in the path of the beam. The device (10) includes one or more safety features to prevent accidental misuse of the device. In particular the device incorporates a high intensity LED (24) which makes looking at the potential path of the laser uncomfortable thus promoting a blinking reflex. Additionally the device may incorporate a skin contact/proximity sensor (26) to prevent use of the laser away from the skin, and/or one or more locking means to prevent accidental powering of the laser.</p> |
