Why it sits behind the Sensica Sensilight Pro
The Sensica Sensilight Pro (8.2) beats the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device (8.1) because it leaves owners a little happier and has been rated by more owners. The CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device is the newer design, but not by enough to close the gap.
About the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair
This is a diode laser, not a broadband IPL lamp. It uses a single 810nm wavelength, which the brand and reviewers contrast with the mixed light of IPL devices. It is a handheld, mains-powered unit with a one-button control, and six intensity levels are shown by indicator lights on the back.
The treatment window is 30 x 10mm, so it works by stamping one patch at a time. A contact ice-cooling plate sits against the skin. Before treatment starts, the device runs a skin check: the light shows the skin is suitable, or beeps and flashes blue if it is not. A built-in sensor stops it flashing on skin that is too dark.
Sessions are short. The brand's figures are about two minutes for a small area and under 15 minutes for the whole body. In one UK review, a whole leg took just under seven minutes. The box holds the device and its power lead with an AC adapter. No precision attachment comes with it. Shave first, and do not wax or pluck between sessions.
What owners report about the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair
Owner feedback specific to this model is thin, so the picture is partial. Comfort is the point that comes up most: users describe the treatment as painless, with the ice plate keeping the skin cool and only mild warmth from the handset. Sessions are quick, and several report slower, thinner regrowth after a few weeks of regular use.
The complaints are about handling. The controls and setup confuse some people at first, the device beeps on every pulse, and the fan gets louder in long sessions. The power lead restricts how you move. Bony areas such as knees and ankles are awkward with a flat window, and some owners have to rotate the head to get it to fire.
Results vary. Some report bare patches on the shins and calves after a couple of months, while lower legs stay patchier and need more sessions. A few report no visible change after about eight weeks. The device is also unsuitable for darker skin or for blonde, grey, white or red hair.
Who the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair suits
It suits someone with fair to medium skin (Fitzpatrick 1 to 4) and dark hair who wants fast sessions and a comfortable treatment, and who will keep to a regular schedule. It is a large upfront spend, so it makes most sense if you would otherwise pay for salon sessions.
Look elsewhere if you have darker skin, light or red hair, or want to treat small areas such as the face or upper lip, since there is no precision attachment. Sensica Sensilight Pro comes with a small window for precise areas, and SmoothSkin Pure Adapt has a flexible head that suits curved areas better. If a cord bothers you, the lead is a fixed part of this device.
Questions about the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair
What kind of hair does the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device work on?
Naturally light brown to black hair. It does not work on white, grey, blonde or red hair, because those colours do not absorb enough of the laser's energy.
Is the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device an alexandrite laser?
No. It is a diode laser with a single 810nm wavelength. Alexandrite is a different laser type used in some clinics.
What should I know before using the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device?
Shave the area first, no more than about four hours beforehand, and keep the skin clean and dry. Do a patch test so the skin check can confirm your tone is suitable, and avoid waxing or plucking between sessions.
Does the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device hurt?
Reviewers and owners describe it as painless or close to it, with some warmth from the handset. The ice-cooling plate keeps the skin cool during treatment.
Can the CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device be used on dark skin?
No. It is for Fitzpatrick types 1 to 4, and the sensor stops it flashing on skin that is too dark.
Other ipl hair removal device picks
The other badge winners in our ipl hair removal devices ranking.
Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 15 models for this guide before settling on these ten.
Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
