Please note that when operating top products, it is possible to slow down hair growth, up to 4 weeks. In this case, the pain from the procedure is reduced to zero.
Principle of operation
The essence of each epilator is based on the rotation of pairs of disks that touch, capturing hairs like tongs. As a result, the bulb is destroyed, which significantly slows down the growth of unwanted vegetation. The multi-forceps systems of modern products allow you to capture even small hairs, up to 0.5 millimeters. When choosing an epilator, consider not only the number of tweezers, but also the speed of their rotation:
- Rowenta uses the Precision system (32 pairs of forceps);
- Philips install the Satinelle system (21 pairs of disks) in epilators;
- Braun uses the Silk-epil system (20 pairs of discs).
A more important parameter is the power of the instruments, on which the speed of rotation of the tweezers depends. Despite having fewer drives, Braun is the most efficient.
As a rule, epilators operate on the basis of two speeds:
- The first speed is used to remove short, thin hairs;
- The second speed is exploited in the process of working with long, stiff hair.
Types of epilators
There are currently no classifications of epilators. On Wikipedia you can find an interpretation of the process, but there is no information about the types of devices. We will try to talk about the types of epilators ourselves, taking into account the features of the devices:
- disk epilators - inexpensive products that work on the basis of special drives. They are cheaper than analogues, but in operation they cause discomfort;
- tweezers - The most popular type of epilator, which provide for work on the basis of special metal plates. In the process of rotation, they capture, stretch and release the bulbs. Almost painless;
- wax - work on the basis of heated wax. Funny, but this method was invented by Nefertiti back in ancient Egypt. Actual instruments suggest a long-term effect;
- with spring - pioneers in the field of hair removal, which remove hair through a special spiral. Currently, there are few analogues that work on the principle of rotation of the spring, bending to the side, and painfully pulls out the hairs;
- laser - work on the basis of special radiation, which quickly destroys the bulbs. Then, cooling is carried out.
It is unambiguous to say which of the epilators is better impossible, since all devices have pros and cons. It is important to consider the price / quality ratio, power, speed of execution and the painlessness of the procedure. In order not to make a mistake with the choice, you should understand the parameters.
Main characteristics
For those who do not know how to choose epilators, let us open the secret - the question is individual. Therefore, you should deal with the main parameters:
The brand
Currently, the leaders in the production of epilators are Rowenta (budget products), Philips (middle class) and Braun (premium segment).These manufacturers use the most powerful and efficient multi-tweezers that provide maximum smoothness.
Ergonomics
An important parameter is the shape, because the device should be conveniently located in the hand, not hinder the movement. When choosing an epilator in a store, make sure that it does not speak out of hand, it is equipped with a convenient power button that can be pressed without effort. Buying on the Internet, read reviews about ease of use;
Performance
Each epilator has its own power, which is due to the number of forceps, the number of operating modes. The best performance option is 600 hairs per minute.
Additional functions
Regardless of the type of device, certain discomfort and pain are guaranteed if there is no cooling and massage function. If the device, along with hair removal, cools the skin, unpleasant emotions can be reduced. Premium models are equipped with a massage function, which due to special nozzles prevents the transmission of pain signals to the central nervous system.
Nozzles
If your device is not equipped with a cooling system, it is advisable to purchase additional nozzles that are designed to remove hair zone. This prevents discomfort. Especially for disk counterparts. Another clear advantage is the trimmer, which is a protection against the ingrowth of hairs in the skin by removing dead epithelium.
Epilator Tips
We suggest that you familiarize yourself with a number of recommendations from experienced users who, through trial and error, have understood how to choose a good epilator. Consider the following:
- the more tweezers, the higher the speed, but the procedure is more unpleasant. The best choice is 32 tweezers;
- to protect yourself from inflammation, treat the head of the device with an alcohol composition;
- A great addition to any epilator is the backlight, the presence of which many in vain close their eyes;
- Moisture-proof housing will not harm, given that hair removal is often carried out as part of bathroom procedures.
Of course, these tips are closely related to the budget of the potential buyer. You should know that the price of a good epilator varies from 1500 to 5000 rubles. The cost of premium solutions can reach 15-20 thousand rubles.
