Why this site exists

“At-home laser” is not one technology.

Many consumer devices are IPL. ViQure markets EpiPro as an 808nm diode laser. Smooth Source helps you understand that distinction, compare alternatives and verify whether a device’s guidance fits your skin, hair and treatment area.

Medical-safety note

The American Academy of Dermatology warns that laser treatment can cause burns, pigment changes and scarring when used improperly. If you are unsure whether a home device is appropriate for you, consult a board-certified dermatologist.
