September 25, 2020

When you start choosing an epilator, you first look at the model and its functional features . Since we see a very large selection of different brands on the market, the main manufacturers are still Braun, Philips, Panasonic, and Rowenta.

In previous blogs, we have repeatedly mentioned that there are several types of epilators, today we will discuss the specific features and parameters that will help you choose the right one.

The number and material of the tweezers - the characteristics of the working elements determine how effectively the epilator will remove hair in a particular area.

The best option is a multifunctional tweezers device that has 40 paired tweezers .
Disc models also have good efficiency - they remove 20-30 hairs per revolution.
Tweezers with 20 pairs are less effective.

The numbers are actually not that small, because depending on the rotation speed, the round head is able to make at least 600-700 adjustments per minute.

As for the material, epilator tweezers can be made of metal or ceramic.
1. The cost of metal devices is low, but over time, they break down and cut hair unevenly and unevenly.
2. Ceramic is more expensive, but always works effectively because it removes hair completely from the bulb, right down to the root.

Adjustment - many devices have several speed modes (usually 2-3). Fast rotation allows you to cope with long and tough hair. The sensations are more painful, but the procedure will end sooner - the main thing is to endure.

It is easier to work with thin and short hair at low speeds, as you will be removing the hair completely from the bulb. Some epilator models also include an adjustment function, which involves adjusting the intensity of the tweezers and discs.

Power source - the epilator can work both from the network and from the built-in battery, or provide for the creation of these two features. Here, when choosing, you should focus on your lifestyle.

Those of you who spend a lot of time away from home or go on business trips, it is better to look for an autonomous model, not forgetting to specify the time of its operation on a single battery charge. The average indicator for battery devices is 30-40 minutes, while The maximum reaches 2 hours.
You can also buy a regular wired model that works only from the mains, making them easy to use in the bathroom.
Epilators, which can operate on both battery and mains power, do not limit their owners in anything.

Humidity protection - An epilator is an electrical device and it is not safe to use it in high humidity conditions. However, today, manufacturers produce such Models that have a waterproof system. Such epilators have a fairly high level of protection that protects against accidental water ingress.

Anesthesia methods - this option is especially important for women who have very thin and delicate skin. If you cannot tolerate pain, You will have to look for a special device, such as a photo epilator , which will make the procedure less unpleasant.

Of course, you won't be able to avoid pain, but manufacturers offer several ways to partially solve the problem:

1. Vibration mode - creates a light massage effect, activating nerve receptors under the skin.
2. The cooling unit is an additional nozzle that must be stored in the freezer before use.
3. Cold blasting - gives a similar effect, also requires pre-freezing the container.
