Laser hair removal methods

Laser hair removal methods are not as effortless nor could they be pain-free but advanced technology has changed them better in the many years. Over a decade back, mere vanity won’t get you into the doctor’s chair for the treatment. Laser wasn’t an option then, all you had was electrolysis, and yes it was both unpleasant and costly. Individuals who were seeking for that specific cure stood a higher reason and needing to shed their undesired hair; it undoubtedly went beyond just looking better. These days, laser hair removal is much more affordable and the treatments can range from quite okay to very tolerable-although not pain-free. So, does laser hair removal hurt?

Epilator, skin damage

Epilators pluck the hair from the roots, but sometimes, the outer layer of the skin is also peeled off, resulting in damage to skin. It may take some weeks for the skin damage to get healed.

Epilator use

The materials used for epilators and other hair removal products varies depending on the price of the product. For low cost products, the epilator can be used for a few months and then has to be discarded.

Epitrave vs Silk Epil

 The Morphy Richards Epitrave is compact, but Braun 3170 Silk Epil Softperfection is the more effective epilator for hair removal.

Ingrown hair

If an epilator is used on dry skin, an ingrown hair may be formed, which can be painful to remove.   So it is important to ensure that the skin is moisturised and clean before using the epilator.

Ingrown hairs are also sometimes formed if threading is used to remove the unwanted hair.

Battery operated vs electric power

The epilators and shavers available in the market are either battery operated or use a electric power supply.  Battery powered epilators are usually easier to use and handle,  but are less effective.  Epilators with a 230V power supply offer less flexibility, but are sometimes better for removing hair .

Epilators and shavers

Shavers and epilators

A variety of shavers and epilators for hair removal are available.  Both have their advantages and disadvantages – epilators remove hair from the root, but it can be painful.  Shavers are more convenient, but hair regrowth is faster.
