What is an epilator?

Epilators remove hair from the root.

An epilator is a hair removal device that removes multiple hairs at the same time. Tweezers or electric tweezers that remove one or two hairs at most with a single application are not the same. Instead, the epilator, which is manufactured by several companies, is usually sold to women as a replacement for electric razors and bears a slight resemblance to them.

Shaving with a razor does not remove hair below the surface of the skin.

The original epilator model was the Epilady® and it was first sold to the public in 1986. Using springs and coils, the Eiplady® grabbed multiple strands of hair from the surface it was applied to and pulled the strands out. Unlike waxing, waxing does not remove the top layer of skin, which for some people makes removal slightly less painful. However, the hair removal procedure took as long as using an electric razor. This meant that instead of undergoing one or two wax strip extractions, the device caused minimal discomfort and was painful for many throughout the entire hair removal process.

Removing hair from the root allows the removal to last longer and the skin to stay smoother.

However, root hair removal is still popular with some women because it means the hair removal lasts longer and the skin is smoother. Other companies like Remington have made their own versions of the epilator, each with multiple hair removal processes. A court case involving Epilady and Remington was in Remington’s favor, and Epilady was not allowed to retain the patent on the creation of epilators. This has allowed many companies to enter this market with their projects.

An epilator can be used to remove unwanted underarm hair.

Removing hair with epilators is not a perfect process. Sometimes the hair breaks above the root level and can be seen as unshaven legs or hair growth. The first few times the epilator is used are usually the most painful and difficult. Subsequent uses are not that difficult, although most people who use epilators say that these products are never painless. Some models have cooling elements or massagers that can reduce the pain a little.

There are some companies that offer a money back guarantee if customers don’t like the epilator. These offers aren’t consistent, but they can help if people are interested in trying one out. It is recommended that people keep in mind that the first few times are likely to be the most painful.

Some women use an epilator between waxes to help keep their legs looking smooth. Since plucking the hair at the root creates some nerve damage, subsequent tweezing or hair pulling is not as painful for a few weeks after shaving. Others have given up these products because they find it too painful to use. While shaving may not create extremely smooth legs for long periods of time, when done correctly, it usually doesn’t hurt.
