Silhouette Portable Laser Hair Remover Permanent Epliation System Body Face Home

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Silhouette laser hair remover safe to use at home in Australia?

Yes, the Silhouette is specifically designed for safe home use. It includes security keys to prevent accidental activation and features adjustable laser emission time and intensity settings, so you can customise the treatment to suit your skin type. The device uses an 808nm semiconductor laser wavelength—the same technology used in professional salons worldwide—but in a user-friendly portable format with a 220V Australian adapter included in the package.

How many sessions will I need to see permanent hair removal results?

According to the product specifications, you'll typically need only a few sessions of 3 to 5 applications to achieve permanent hair removal. The 808nm laser penetrates multiple epidermal layers to destroy the hair root, which is why results are effective even if the laser isn't aimed directly at individual hairs. Results vary based on hair colour, skin type, and treatment consistency.

Can I use this laser hair remover on my face, or just my body?

The Silhouette is suitable for use on most parts of the body and face. However, because it's a powerful 808nm laser system, you should carefully read the user manual (included in English) before treating facial areas, particularly around the eyes. Start with lower intensity settings on sensitive facial areas if you're new to laser hair removal.

What's included in the box, and will it work straight away in Australia?

The package includes the Xemos Silhouette laser hair removal device, a security key, a 220V adapter specifically for Australian power outlets, and an English-language user manual. Everything you need is included—just unpack and you're ready to use it with standard Australian wall sockets.

How does the Silhouette compare to other at-home laser hair removal devices?

The Silhouette stands out because it uses the same 808nm laser technology found in professional salons, with university-backed research showing 95% effectiveness. Many budget alternatives use weaker IPL (intense pulsed light) technology rather than true laser. The adjustable settings, portable design, and proven wavelength make it a solid mid-range option for Australians wanting salon-quality results at home for $157.95.

What's your return policy if it doesn't work for me?

Yarra Supply offers a 30-day returns policy, so if the Silhouette doesn't meet your expectations, you can return it within 30 days of purchase. This gives you peace of mind to try the device at home and see if it suits your hair removal needs before committing long-term.

Is this device suitable for all skin tones and hair colours?

The 808nm laser works best on darker hair (which absorbs the laser energy more effectively) across a range of skin tones. If you have very fair or red hair, results may be less effective since these hair colours absorb less laser energy. The adjustable laser intensity settings allow you to customise treatment based on your individual skin and hair characteristics—start conservatively and increase intensity as needed. Consult the user manual for specific guidance on your hair and skin type.
