Epilators Work Best on Which Length of Hairs?

There are many ways in which women can remove unwanted hair, such as shaving, waxing, and laser treatment. Using an epilator is one of the most cost effective and long lasting methods if you can adjust to the discomfort. Here are a few tips.

Preparation

Before using your epilator, make sure your skin is clean and dry. You can use an over-the-counter pain reliever, but there will still be some discomfort. Some models of epilators have massaging mechanisms that help to reduce pain.

Test Spot

For your first use, do not operate the epilator on high speed. Only remove a very small area of hair, approximately an inch squared. You may need to do a little at a time over a period of days. Do not be discouraged as epilation becomes less painful the more you do it. The hairs become finer and the skin adjusts to the sensation.

Ideal Hair Length

Epilators work best on shorter hair, and the process is less painful. Depending on the growth rate of your hair, you may need to use your epilator once a week or wait longer between treatments.
