- Though it's used in the home, the Epila hair removal system is still a laser. As such, it's still a good idea to consult your doctor before purchasing or using the Epila system. Your doctor will be able to review your records and health history, and decide whether there are any significant risks to you if you use this hair-removal system. Additionally, your doctor may be able to offer insight from other patients who have used the Epila system, or from colleagues who have reviewed its effectiveness. While this step may seem foolish and wasteful, it's better safe than sorry concerning your health.
- It's a good idea to research a product to find out if it's right for you. For instance, the Epila system manufacturer says that its product works best on people who have dark hair and light skin, which means that for those with light hair, or with dark skin tones, a different product might be better suited. Additionally, you should read not only the positive advertisements and findings in the product's home page, but also independent testimonials to the contrary. In one such case, a user reports scarring from using the Epila laser hair removal system.
- If you've decided that the Epila laser hair removal system is right for you, then it may be a good idea to shop around for the best price. While it will be expensive--as home diode lasers often are--it will most likely be something you'll never have to buy a second time. The Epila system works best with a pre-treatment cooling gel (sold separately), though it doesn't require it. Make sure that you read all of the instructions for before, during, and after the Epila treatment to ensure that you get the best results possible.
