Epilator Priorities

• If you have previously used a conventional razor to remove hair, then you probably know that a razor is not able to remove the entire hair, it only cuts off the part that protrudes above the skin. The part remaining in the bulb quickly grows, the very next day it is noticeable to the naked eye. The epilator removes hair completely! “Coming to her senses”, the hair follicle is able to give a new process not earlier than in three or even four weeks. Just think - whole month you can not think about epilation, isn't it, great!
• Without visiting expensive salon procedures, in a calm, relaxing home environment you can slowly perform the epilation on your own. Moreover, this does not require any special training or special knowledge. After reviewing our recommendations, you can easily cope with this task.
• Any other type of hair removal requires additional tools and manipulations: for example, shaving requires a special cream, both before and after application. razor and without taking a shower is indispensable. For waxing you also need a lot of devices - a special jar for heating wax and wax strips. And the epilator does not require any more tools, it alone is able to complete the entire hair removal procedure from start to finish.
• Difficulty to use? Confused instructions for use? There is none of that when it comes to performing a hair removal procedure with an epilator. Easy to operate, also easy to care for, store and transport - it's all about him. If you try to remove hair with an epilator, you will certainly appreciate the advantages of this method.

If you decide to use an epilator for hair removal for the first time, try to follow the following simple, but very important rules.

The fast rotating mechanism of the epilator is designed to firmly grab and remove unwanted hairs. Therefore, before epilation, wait until the hairs previously removed and growing again have reached a length of several millimeters. What should be their exact length can be determined empirically during the procedure itself - if the hair is too short, the epilator simply will not capture it.

The rotation speed of the epilator mechanism can be adjusted; for those who are going to use it for the first time, we recommend setting the minimum speed. Too high speed can lead to the fact that fine hairs are not removed, but break off at the base, then the very next day you will be provided with a “bristle”.

Before removing hairs, it is advisable to take a hot bath, or at least a hot shower (15-20 minutes will be enough). Why do it? The pores of the skin surface will steam out, become wider, and the epilation procedure will be much easier and less painful. Attention: to use the epilator of conventional models, the skin must be properly dried.

This advice does not apply to new developments, the most modern models can even be used under water! For example, the manufacturer Braun has proven itself excellently, which has released the Braun Silk-épil 7 7681 Legs, Body & Face Wet&Dry model, which works in water, in its line of epilators.

Now it's time to talk about pain. When the seller in the store convincingly tells you that the epilator is “well, it doesn’t hurt at all, honestly!”, Do not believe it. Pleasant sensations during hair removal - this is definitely not about the epilator. However, everything is in our hands, and we can reduce all pain to a minimum:

• when epilating, with one hand you need to stretch the skin, and with the other - guide the epilator over the surface. You will feel the effect immediately - the stretched skin weakens the "capture" of the hair follicle, and the hair itself is easier to remove;
• start epilation from the area where the hairs are smaller, and they themselves are thinner. So you can get used to possible pain in other areas of the skin with big amount hair;
• manufacturers supply many models of epilators with special attachments to reduce skin sensitivity and, accordingly, reduce pain. For example, the Philips HP6521 epilator has a nozzle that is located in front of the removal mechanism and during epilation performs a slight vibration - thereby relaxing the skin and making hair removal easier. And the Philips HP6517/00 epilator is equipped with a special cooling cap - before the procedure, it must be put in the freezer, and during epilation, the cold will help to significantly reduce the pain of hair removal. There are also nozzles for "special" skin areas with increased sensitivity - we are talking about the armpit and bikini area. With these attachments, the gripping “tweezers” are arranged in a thinned order and at the same time can remove the wrong a large number of hairs, as a normal mechanism, thereby the procedure is more gentle, such a nozzle is equipped, for example, with the Rowenta EP 8550 epilator;
• many different ways to reduce pain from hair removal, offered by manufacturers, suggests that such sensations still exist, and you should be prepared for this. If your skin is very sensitive, do not epilate the entire surface at once. Take breaks, let your skin rest, and let yourself catch your breath.

After epilation, be sure to use special cream, relieving possible irritation - it will soothe the skin and soften it.

Unattractive vegetation is quite difficult to hide under summer clothes, so every woman faces the problem of hair removal. Thanks to the advertising companies of the equipment manufacturers, many already know how to use the epilator, and realized that it helps to achieve desired result without significant time and financial costs.

Advantages and disadvantages of epilators

Developers call the following advantages of using the device:

It seems that you just need to plug the device into a socket, run it over the epilation area with a smooth movement of your hand, and voila - perfect smoothness for at least a month.

But the realities of life are such that many hush up the unpleasant truth, and advertising in this matter is no exception. In fact, on the way to beautiful legs, we encounter many obstacles, such as severe pain, redness and ingrown hairs after using the epilator. Faced with them, many girls who bought a device so much touted on TV screens hide it somewhere deep in the chest and take out a good old razor, and forget about epilation as a nightmare.

pain ingrown hairs

Agree, this is also not an option, because there are ways to minimize the listed consequences. You will need some skill and knowledge of the features of using this miracle of technology. To get your first hair removal right and with minimal discomfort, you can follow the tips below.

How does an epilator work?

First, let's understand how it works best friend each girl and find out for ourselves the difference between the processes of hair removal and depilation.

Epilation is the process of destroying the hair follicle, removing the bulb and, accordingly, the hair forever, that is, the effect of the procedure is permanent. According to experts, a similar effect is achieved only in the office of a beautician with the help of special equipment.

Depilation is the process of removing the upper visible part of the hair without affecting the bulb. It is quite long, but still temporary.

Calling the device an “epilator” was quite profitable, this is a successful marketing ploy. According to the principle of its work, it is rather a “depilator”, because new hairs appear in place of the removed hairs after some time.

Let's figure out why this happens.

By plugging in your epilator, you start the rotation of its metal or ceramic discs, which, like tweezers, capture each hair and pull it out. But, despite the fact that the bulb breaks out along with the hair, after some time, unwanted vegetation reappears.

This is due to the fact that the hair follicle surrounding the bulb does not go anywhere. Cell division, and with it the process of growing a new hair, starts again, giving life to a new “growth” as soon as you have depilated.

before after 3-4 weeks

However, the damaged hair grows much more slowly than, say, after using a razor. On average, the growth process takes 3-4 weeks, the period depends on the genetic predisposition, the thickness of the hair shaft and its color. Dark and thick hairs break through to the surface much faster than light ones. But in any case, it's almost a month of smooth skin!

Are you using an epilator? Well, you are a heroine!

The main and significant disadvantage of using the device is unpleasant pain. Moreover, turning for help to consultants of stores and websites of manufacturers of goods, you are unlikely to find a truthful answer there.

You will be told that it is completely painless to treat your legs with an epilator, and all the stories about torment are nothing more than idle speculation, and it is their device that will provide you with maximum comfort during the procedure.

Do not believe it, it is impossible to painlessly make epilation with an epilator device, such devices have simply not yet been invented.

The following areas are most sensitive to depilation:

But it is quite possible to reduce pain during depilation. This is especially true during the first procedure, because here, as in any other matter, skill is needed. Mentally prepare yourself for the fact that you will not learn how to do hair removal with a device skillfully right away. Experience will come after five or six procedures, when you choose the optimal speed for yourself and find out your weakest points.

Say no to pain

We offer a few tips to help minimize discomfort.

1. Shave your legs 3-4 days before waxing. The optimal hair length for capturing it with the epilator discs is 0.2-0.5 cm, because it is too short hair he simply can't.

2. All models of epilators have more than one speed. Experiment and find the best one for yourself. Do not carry out the first procedure at super speeds. In addition, with an excessively fast rotation of the disks of the device, thin hairs will not break out, but simply break off at the base, and after a few days they will “delight” you with an overgrown bristle.
3. Before the procedure, spend at least a quarter of an hour in a hot bath, or at least stand in the shower.

They are usually labeled "wet and dry".

4. You can also reduce pain with the help of cooling, rubbing the depilated area with a piece of ice or using special anesthetic gels.

Principle of operation

An epilator is a device that has built-in discs or metal tweezers. When the device is connected to the network, the parts begin to rotate and capture the hair, eliminating it from the root. On almost all modern devices, the rotation speed can be adjusted. It is necessary to take into account the pain and the result that you want to get.

Depending on the nozzles, you can eliminate hairs with bulbs, as well as perform a massage. It speeds up blood circulation, and therefore the procedure will not be so painful.

Some manufacturers have devices equipped with a cooling function, which “freezes” the skin a little, preventing severe pain.

• The result is stored for a long time (3-4 weeks).
• Affordable price.

Of the minuses are:

• Loud operation (but not for every device).
• The duration of the process (compared to depilation).
• Soreness.

Why you need to use an epilator

As you know, shaving with a machine does not eliminate hairs from the root. The blade cuts off only the upper part, which rises above the skin. In this case, the bulb will be inside, and new vegetation will appear after 2-3 days. The epilator does not have this feature, its main purpose is to remove hairs with a bulb, the skin remains smooth for 3-4 weeks.

1. Speed. The device has a lever with which you can adjust the speed of rotation of discs or tweezers. At low power, it is necessary to eliminate hard and short hairs, because due to strong rotation they will break, and the root will be inside. If the device is used for the first time, there will be pain especially at low speed. But you should not increase the power, because this move reduces the processing efficiency. After a certain period of time, the skin will get used to the stress, the epilation will be quick and painless. Only then can you increase the speed, as the hairs will be thinner, so it will be easier to remove them.
2. Length. When using the machine, you can not grow dense vegetation on the legs, underarms and in the bikini area. You need to steam the skin, and then remove the vegetation. With an epilator, this is impossible, you will need to endure 2-3 days until the stumps grow to 0.4-0.5 cm. To eliminate the hairs from the root, forceps capture them whole.
3. Technique. The device must be held against the growth of hairs, otherwise there is a risk that the device will be carried out several times, which increases pain. It is necessary to hold the device at an angle to the side in which the movement occurs. Do not remove hair by pressing the epilator firmly against the skin. Move the instrument slowly and smoothly.
