Epilation is a popular hair removal technique which removes hairs from the root, similar to waxing. This section provides an in-depth analysis of the pros, cons, methods, and potential risks associated with epilation.
Types of Epilators
Epilation as a word simply refers to the removal of hair - here we’re talking about devices intended to remove hairs by pulling them out, specifically. There’s a few designs on the market at the moment and most will work just fine, but having a device that’s best equipped to your hair type will make a big difference.
You might see:
- Spring-Type Epilators
- Rotating Disc Epilators
- Tweezer-Type Epilators
They all mostly work the same way - they’re designed to trap hairs and pluck them out. Just be sure when selecting a model that the one you’re choosing works well with your hair type. Some cheaper models may not be powerful enough for thicker hair.
Some tweezer-type epilators are equipped with features like massage rollers to minimise discomfort during the process - a welcome addition for what is one of the more painful hair removal options.
Epilators are a quick and effective way to get brilliant results - plucking hairs also becomes less painful with repeated use.
