Are you ready for the laser razor?

Apparently it targets a particular chromophore in hair that allows the laser energy to be absorbed for both light and dark hair.

What class (safety) of laser would this thing be...

They 3D print the stuff? Wonder if it would be cheaper to do it in China/Mexico or not.

Despite the feeling I'm going to receive a joke response, I'll ask anyway. What is PFM?

Pulsed frequency modulation - I think. I think it's the same technique used with eximer lasers. But either way, I think the idea is to get the hair shaft to absorb the laser energy and decompose as a result. Maybe it's not technically "burning" but it's pretty close.
 
My ex went in for many rounds of laser hair removal. Going for the perma-landing strip look if you get me. She was a redhead with fair skin and light colored hair redhead, and it never quite worked the way it was supposed to, even after many sessions. I'll believe this when I see it.
 
Being familiar with how laser energy works, I have serious doubts a laser of that size would make a practical razor. Even large units for removing hair require slow movements and several treatments.
 
After I burn my face so much it's nothing but solid scar tissue no hair will ever grow there again. It's going to be awesome!
