Skarp technologies are not the first to think of laser hair removal.
Skarp Technologies have requested the help of the public to fund this innovating and potentially incredible design, through Kickstarter.
Skarp Technologies have launched their Kickstarter campaign on September 21st, with the goal in mind of reaching $160,000. At the time of this post, it was funded $790,612 and shows no signs of stopping.
Soon you’ll be able to get rid of that hipster beard in an efficient and problem-free way with the Skarp, as the designer has already identified preliminary manufacturing partners, according to the Kickstarter page.
Gustavsson has been active in the medical and cosmetic laser industry for 3 decades, and in 1989 he was the mastermind behind Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Because it targets that molecule, the laser can’t enter your skin – which doesn’t have chromophore – allowing the laser to melt the hair away right at the surface of your skin. The laser will function for 50,000 hours, with one AAA battery sufficient to ensure its work for about a month. In 2001, the device was conceptualized, however, it took a minimum of eight years before an important discovery i.e. a specific wavelength capable of cutting hair of any color. Gustavsson collaborated with Paul Binun in this regard, and with their combine effort they invented a chromophore that we every human being shares.
Are you exhausted of the pain and irritation caused by shaving with a blade?
The Skarp razor can be used on any part of your body, from your face to your legs, and is being marketed at both men and women.
The laser of the razor does not have enough power to cause damage to the skin, and it does not emit ultraviolet (UV) light.

On the environmentally friendly aspect, its makers note that 2 billion razors or razor heads are tossed in the trash each year – and that’s in the USA alone.
