Let's face it, there are some things in life we can just do without; smelly feet, pimples, tripe & onion sandwiches .. and certain areas of body hair.

There are 2 methods of removing unwanted hair from the body. One is called DEPILATION which covers all the techniques for removing the visable hair from above the skin (shaving being the most common form,) and the other is EPILATION which includes removal of the complete hair, above and below the skin's surface.

Epilation methods include waxing, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), sugaring, threading, electrology (electrolysis), electrical epilation devices, and tweezer plucking.

One of the modern, trendy ways to remove unwanted hair is using an epilator.

This hand-held device, which can be powered by battery or mains, has a revolving head that grips a small group of hairs and pulls them out straight from the roots.

As you can imagine, epilators are likely to be a little bit painful for some first-time users, but with persistence that discomfort greatly diminishes. Before using one for the first time it is advisable to trim down long hairs. In fact, some people recommend having a professional waxing done on the area before commencing with an epilator, then begin using the device only on the regrowth. Using a moisturiser after epilating is a good idea to soothe any skin discomfort.

As time goes on, regrowth of the hair will be increasingly finer and softer .. and easier to remove.

A big advantage of epilators is that you can use them in the privacy of your own home. They can save you a lot of ongoing expense too from visits to the beauty salon. After the modest one-time cost of the device there are no other expenses.

The results are silky smooth skin that remain hairless for up to a month, depending on your own hair growth rate.

People use epilators to remove hair from legs, arms, bikini line, and underarms. Some of the devices are also designed for removing facial hair. A few of the latest models have an assortment of special attachments designed to tackle specific areas like underarms or bikini lines etc. Some also include massaging rollers, cleansers, and soothing skin gels with their kits.

Epilators are primarily designed for women but more and more men are catching on to them too. Some manufacturers now offer the devices especially designed for men's coarser hair.
