Epilator is a beauty instrument that removes body hair by physical or optical means. Different types of epilators use different technical principles, mainly including the following:
| Type | Working Principle | Applicable Parts |
| Mechanical epilator | Removes hair by rotating clamps or tweezers | legs, arms, underarms |
| IPL photon epilator | Uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to destroy hair follicles and inhibit hair growth | whole body (needs to be adjusted according to skin color and hair type) |
| Laser epilator | Uses laser of specific wavelength to act on hair follicles to achieve long-term hair removal effect | face, underarms, legs, bikini area |
| Electrolysis epilator | Destroys hair follicles through microcurrent so that hair no longer grows | suitable for small areas such as eyebrows |
In order to achieve better hair removal effect and reduce skin irritation, correct usage is essential. The following are the steps to use epilator:
Before using epilator, make sure your skin is clean and oil-free.
For IPL or laser epilators, it is recommended to shave the surface hair first so that the light energy can better act on the hair follicles.
Users with sensitive skin can apply soothing lotion before epilation.
Mechanical epilator: Suitable for different hair lengths, you can choose the speed according to your skin tolerance.
IPL photon epilator: Adjust the light intensity according to your skin color and hair color to avoid burns caused by excessive energy.
Laser epilator: After adjusting to the appropriate intensity, slide slowly according to the product instructions.
Mechanical epilator: Move slowly against the direction of hair growth to avoid pulling the skin.
IPL/laser epilator: Cover the entire area with tapping, and do not repeatedly irradiate the same area.
Electrolysis epilator: Follow the product instructions to accurately locate the hair follicles and treat them one by one.
Use a mild moisturizer or aloe vera gel to soothe your skin and avoid irritating skin care products.
Avoid sun exposure within 24 hours after epilation to prevent pigmentation.
Clean the epilator regularly to keep it hygienic.
IPL and laser epilators work best on dark hair and less so on light hair (such as white and gray). Dark skin requires the right light energy level to prevent skin damage.
After a mechanical epilator removes hair, the new hair may feel thicker, but it does not actually increase the number or thickness of hair.
Home epilators are suitable for daily care and are highly safe, but they require multiple uses to achieve significant results; medical hair removal has higher energy and longer-lasting effects, but requires professional operation.
