Electric epilators are mechanical devices used to remove unwanted hair from the human body. Such devices perform a dual function: they capture and pull out hairs within 5-15 minutes. In their shape and size, electric epilators resemble a razor that acts on vegetation using discs or tweezers.
How does an electric epilator work?
When using the epilator for the first time, each owner feels pain from the procedure: especially in the bikini line area and on the most intimate parts of the female body. However, later it stops, giving way to lightness and enjoyment of the effectiveness of epilation.
When the epilator touches the hairs, the hairs are completely removed with the heads. In this case, the method of influencing the hairs can be different: howneedle, and tweezers. Removal of short vegetation should be carried out using the first speed, and long - on the second and higher. Only in this way is the removal of hairs from the bulb carried out. Otherwise, the tips are cut off, but not completely removed.
Where is hair removal done?
All electric epilators are divided into two main groups: old production and new. The former rid the body of hairs only in certain places: upper and lower limbs, armpits and bikini line. The second type - an electric epilator for the face - ideally removes hairs from absolutely all parts of the body, and not just from the arms and legs.
All types of hair removal devices are sold with additional nozzles that help to quickly and cleanly get rid of excess hair from arms, legs, armpits and more.
Key features of epilators
There are many varieties of devices with which you can permanently get rid of hairs. Today, electric epilators are at the forefront, and they all have their own distinctive features:
- The speed of the procedure. Almost all models are equipped with two or three speeds. However, the paradox of epilators is that the lower the speed, the better the owner will be able to get rid of hairs and bulbs.
- Full capture of vegetation. At the first stage of the procedure, electrical appliances can only get rid of fine hairs, and onthe second - from hard and long.
- Reduce pain.
To prevent discomfort during skin treatment, many electric (female) epilators are equipped with options such as a vibrating massage nozzle, a rubber brush or a blowing system. All of them contribute to the maximum reduction of pain - even during the initial epilation.
Today, every happy owner of an electric epilator can observe the following positive aspects:
- Skin is smooth and silky.
- Ease and speed of getting rid of hairs from the surface of the skin.
- Low power consumption and easy to clean.
- Low noise. The operation of the hair removal devices is almost silent.
- Wet shave possible. It is performed with the use of moisturizers.
Consequences of using the epilator and methods of getting rid of them
Because electric epilators cause pain the first time you use them to remove hairs from the surface of your skin, you should know how to get rid of it in advance. One of three methods apply:
- By massaging the treated area. In this case, it is desirable to use soothing creams with natural ingredients.
- With the use of coolants. As such, lidocaine-based gels can be noted. They should be applied before starting the procedure.
- Sby stretching painful areas. Stretching the area of the treated skin, the owner of the device helps to reduce pain and the most complete cleansing of vegetation.
Quite often, along with the pain of the procedure, the representatives of the weaker sex have another problem: hairs ingrown into the skin. This phenomenon occurs due to the weakness of vegetation, which is not able to break through to the surface of the skin.
However, you can get rid of it, and much easier than pain. To do this, it is enough to exfoliate from time to time. You can perform it both with the help of a scrub, and with the help of a special nozzle in an electrical device.
Another disadvantage of epilators is redness or infection of the skin after getting rid of hairs. The first problem disappears on its own after 5-10 minutes. The second - in the form of pimples or red spots - requires a visit to a dermatologist and the necessary treatment.
Epilation procedure
For the most complete removal of hairs from the surface of the skin, it is recommended to adhere to the following procedure for epilation:
- It should be carried out after performing bath procedures. This is due to the fact that the pores expand as much as possible, and the hairs soften. Keep the appliance away from water and steam.
- Before epilating, it is recommended to run your palm against hair growth. In the case of long vegetation, it is recommended to trim the tips. It's the same rulealso applies to the primary procedure.
- The electric thread epilator should be driven against hair growth at the lowest speed. In this case, the skin should be stretched - especially in those places where it is flabby. With tweezers, the device can grab the sagging dermis, causing additional pain to the wearer.
- At the end of the procedure, the skin should be carefully treated. You can perform a similar action with a moisturizer or lotion.
- Epilator should be cleaned of hairs. Under no circumstances should the device be wet. The brushes and cloths included in the kit should be used.
When should I do depilation and epilation?
Along with epilation, depilation is also carried out with an electric epilator. It is performed in the same way as epilation, however, it has its own rules for the procedures.
The most optimal time for depilation is the last days of menstruation. According to scientific research, it is during this period that pain is much easier to bear. Thus, the pain from such a procedure is practically not felt. In addition, from the 4th to the 7th day of the menstrual cycle, hair growth in the intimate area slows down quite a lot.
Along with the attachment to the menstrual cycle, the timing should also be taken into account. So, according to scientific data, the most correct time for depilation is after 18.00. That is when the pain is maximally reduced.
