Some say vanity will always keep cosmetologists, dermatologists, trichologists and plastic surgeons in business. Now, this breed is a worried lot, the reason being the availability of many devices which negate the need for these people’s existence. There have been many new laser enabled devices that either remove hair or encourage hair growth, both being vital requirements for people all over the world.

In fact, devices such as Silk’n Hair, HairMax LaserComb, and other remove/grow hair when users learn to use them on their own bodies. The results have been pretty encouraging too, apparently with the FDA giving the green signal to these devices. There also have been DIY Botox treatments which could be injected by people at home by themselves.

This completely negates the need for the existence of dermatologists and others of that breed. While skin and hair car is a multibillion dollar industry, the DIY laser products could grow to be an even larger industry. FDA and the users are not complaining. However, the professionals are. We can certainly understand why.
