What is a photoepilator?

Photoepilators emit high-intensity pulsed light that reaches the hair follicle. As a result, the hair roots slowly die and the hair begins to fall out. After several sessions, the hair in the treated area finally stops growing.

How to choose devices for home photoepilation

Women who want to remove hair with photoepilation can visit specialists, but this is quite an expensive pleasure. The best option is to buy a suitable photoepilator for home use.

Philips, Braun, Panasonic , as well as Remington, Silk'n, Beurer are recognized as leading brands of epilators.

When purchasing a photoepilator , you should pay attention to the following features :

Treatment area - Photoepilators can be multifunctional, designed for both the face and certain areas of the body. Manufacturers offer devices designed only for dark hair or for working with any shades;

Pulse resource - there are models with a limited pulse resource, as well as replaceable photo lamps, which can be replaced after receiving zero charge. Different models of epilators produce 140,000 - 400,000 flashes;

Area of effect - the size of the body area that can be treated at one time depends on the diameter of the light distribution. The larger the working area, the less time and flashes will be required to remove hair. On average, the diameter size is in the range of 3-6 cm;

Management - Devices can be powered by batteries or mains. Battery models are good for travel or on the go, but have a relatively low power. After one use, the battery is discharged and needs to be recharged;

Safety features - It is desirable that devices have eye protection and protection against overly tanned skin. Most models have UV blocking options;

Power - Photoepilators with a power of no more than 5 J/cm² are considered optimal. With higher power and poor application, there is a risk of burns. For dark hair, 3 J/cm² is usually sufficient, but for lighter hair, a higher power value is required.

Finally, let's consider a specific model of Braun photoepilator.

Braun IPL BD 5001

The laser epilator has a reserve of 300,000 pulses, which is enough to remove hair from the entire body. If you only treat the bikini area, legs, face, and arms, then its resource will be enough for 35 years of operation.

The SensoAdapt sensor detects skin tone in seconds and independently selects the pulse intensity for safe and effective treatment. Due to the presence of the sensor, the device turns on only when it comes into contact with the skin. The impact area is 3 cm², the maximum power is 6 J/cm², and it can be adjusted to one of three modes.
