Electronic Epilators – a brazilian reasons #0003

Apr 24

What is it?

An electronic epilator is a handheld device with a rotating roller that, when glided over the skin, removes unwanted hair like a bunch of tweezers all working at once.

Epilating is a term that refers to any hair removal, not just an electronic epilator. Sugaring & tweezing are also forms of epilation; however, when referring to epilating, most people are referencing the use of an electronic epilator.

Epilating is the best alternative to sugaring and waxing for people with sensitive skin.

Pros: Fast, Easy, No running costs after the initial purchase of an epilator (ranges from $30-$300), Long-lasting results, Safe for use on any part of the body conveniently at home & even in the shower

Cons: Risk of ingrown hairs, skin redness, bumps & other similar irritation

The Pain Factor: Slight discomfort from a multiple tweezing effect at one time but it probably sounds worse than it really is. The speed can be slowed for more sensitive skin but remember, slower settings will increase the amount of time it takes to complete the area.

Longevity: Lasts 1-3 weeks

In Summary: Epilators can be used in the shower and do not require frequent use to achieve desired results. However, as they remove hair from the root, they also distort the follicle increasing the chance of ingrown hairs upon regrowth. Epilators do not destroy the follicle unit so the hair will always grow back in 1-3 weeks. Results are equivalent to sugaring, waxing and tweezing.

Results are equivalent to sugaring, threading, tweezing and waxing
