Epilators: An Information PageElectrical epilators have tweezer discs in the head which rotate picking up the hair in the process and plucking them from the root.
Many electrical epilators are contoured in such a way as to glide easily over all parts of the body to increase comfort. Epilators are most effective though on large, flat areas like the arms and legs. They are less effective on curved areas like the underarms. They can cause significant trauma to the face and other thin skinned areas unless specifically designed for these areas. Hair reappears after a period of 3 to 8 weeks. A slight stinging or pricking sensation is often felt. Red bumps may appear due to swollen hair follicles but they usually disappear after some hours. The risk of infection can be reduced by using an antibacterial agent before and after the procedure. The cost can range anywhere from $30 to $60. To make hair removal sessions less frequent with epilators, use a hair inhibitor. As epilators remove hair by the root the hair inhibitor is able to penetrate the micro openings left in the skin and disable the mechanism that causes hair growth.
