On the Web: DIY Laser Hair Removal

Ok, I realize this is more a home appliance than a tool, but hey — what Toolmonger wouldn’t like to shave with a frickin’ laser?
Apparently a couple of different companies have obtained patents and FDA approval for laser hair removal systems that were previously available only in salons. According to our favorite tech/gadget blog Engadget: “This new home version apparently boases the same core technology that the pros use, employing pulses of intense light emitted into the hair follicles to wipe ’em out and prevent new hair from growing.”
Wow. Sign me up — unless I have to hock my car for one.
