Product Information

Blend, combines both technologies. Offering some of the speed of SWD along with the effectiveness of galvanic, giving your treatments a double targeted approach. Taking around 7+ seconds per hair, it is considerably faster than galvanic but gives a better regrowth rate when compared to SWD, alone. A machine with Blend capabilities gives you the ultimate treatment flexibility, allowing you to choose the best method depending on your individual clients’ requirements. When using the Epil 200 you can choose either of the two technologies, individually or of course, ‘blend’ the two. As with most things you’d rather avoid — say, an unreasonably early morning meeting — the more often you epilate, the easier it gets.

Apply the recommended post treatment gel, containing witch hazel or aloe Vera regularly. If you wish to wear makeup, pure mineral make up is safe.be sure to wear an SPF daily, to avoid pigmentation. There are a number of ways you can prep skin before epilating. Exfoliating with a scrub will help avoid ingrown hairs and bathing in warm water will help to open up pores –just make sure the water isn't too hot, as this could lead to skin irritation. Suitable for fine, straight hairs, blood capillaries or benign skin lesions, when used with advanced techniques. Waxing can be irritating, shaving doesn't last, and laser hair removal can be super pricey and require a lot of in-office sessions. If you can relate, you may want to try epilating.

The best epilators for 2022 are:

Most epilators work best on dry skin, but wet and dry models can be used in the shower or bath, where the heat can open your pores and make the process a little less painful. Unless you have a particularly low pain threshold, though, a dry epilator is all you really need. Plus, although it may be easier and less irritating to the skin to epilate in the shower, doing so will make the process slower and less effective. What other features should I look for? It’s all in the prep. If you’re a beginner it’s best to look to areas of skin that are not so sensitive – start with the legs and work up to underarms. For silky smooth skin you should exfoliate your legs beforehand. This removes any dead skin and also helps prevent pesky ingrown hairs. Once your legs are prepped, hold the device at a 90 degree angle to your skin, being careful not to press too hard, and glide the epilator over your legs. It can be easier, and often less painful, if you use your other hand to pull the skin tight while epilating and remember, don’t go too fast. It is completely normal for your skin to look a little irritated after epilation so don’t panic. Once you’ve epilated, moisturiser is your best friend. Exfoliating and epilating can really dry out your skin so the key is to apply a calming non-comedogenic cream which will help ease any redness and inflammation. Patients, their carers and clinicians need accurate, accessible information about medicines so they understand why a medicine is appropriate and how to take it safely. The better this understanding, the greater the likelihood of appropriate use and increased uptake and adherence, thus improving patient safety and clinical outcomes and reducing demand on the NHS. Typically, epilating causes some minor discomfort,' says Wedderburn. 'This is considerably reduced with repeated use as your skin adjusts to the process and the hairs become thinner.'

An epilator is an electrical or manual device that pulls hair out of by the root, says Natalie Aguilar, RN, dermatological nurse and celebrity aesthetician in Los Angeles. What’s more, the pain tends to decrease each time you epilate. “It’s best advised to epilate in warm water to make it a more comfortable experience. The warmth of the water releases endorphins which helps to reduce any discomfort or irritation. If you’ve tweezed or waxed, it’s a similar feeling,” says Dr. Sturnham. For 48 hours Post treatment the skin may be sensitised, have erythema or swelling. You may experience heat, pin dot crusts or scabs and itching.When it comes to hair removal, there are tons of different routes you can go, but using an epilator is probably one method you've never thought to try, or maybe something you've never even heard of. An epilator is an electrical device with tiny rotating tweezers. Since it removes hair from the root rather than just trimming it, it's an excellent option for those who don't like to shave every day but don't want the mess of waxing, either. It's one of those meet-in-the-middle solutions you'll be happy you tried.

You'll want to take a look at how many tweezers are inside the epilator. Epilating larger skin areas like the arms and legs will be easier and faster with a device that has more tweezers, but it may also create more pain if you have sensitive skin. You should also look for tweezers that are wide and long as they will have a better chance at getting in deep as well as reaching short, stubby strands. Epilating is known for being slightly painful (you are pulling hair right from the root, after all) but the good news is any pain normally decreases each time you epilate. According to Dr. Frieling and GH Beauty Lab experts, finding the best epilator comes down to a number of factors:

How to epilate

But since each hair is being pulled out by its root, King admits that it can initially be a bit uncomfortable. That said, since it’s essentially tweezing each individual hair, epilating can keep skin smooth for up to two weeks at a time. While it’s still not as effective as laser hair removal, which permanently reduces the amount of hair growth, it’s definitely a viable alternative to both waxing and shaving. Epilation is a method of hair removal that involves removing each hair, right from its root. The process is similar to waxing, only epilation doesn’t pull your skin. What’s more, the best epilators out there can grab even the tiniest of hairs, so you don’t have to endure that awkward growing-out phase in-between waxes. The Epil 100 offers shortwave diathermy as its sole method of technology, whereas the Epil 200 offers Shortwave diathermy and Galvanic technology, in a machine which can be used for each method individually or as the popular blend technique.

It's beneficial to have a routine when it comes to epilation, as this will help the skin get used to this method of hair removal, making the process more comfortable over time,’ says Wedderburn. ‘After epilating, the hairs are much finer and, over time, it becomes less time-consuming.’ Like any hair-removal method that removes the hair at the follicle level, there may be a level of discomfort, but this will vary from person to person and from epilator to epilator. The best epilators will minimise the pain and some may not even cause any discomfort at all, so it’s worth spending a little extra if you’re especially sensitive to pain. In use, the epilator is noisier than some, but the ease of swapping attachments – no fewer than nine – make it swift and easy to achieve good results. Shortwave Diathermy (SWD), found singularly in the Epil 100 is used to generate heat, which has a destructive cauterising effect on the target cell tissue. SWD is a newer method to its galvanic counterpart, it allows for a slightly faster treatment for hair removal (1-3 seconds application per hair) To make sure skin is prepped and ready, skincare expert Nathalie Eleni recommends exfoliating 24 to 48 hours before epilating to remove dead skin cells that may trap short hairs underneath. 'This will provide you with a more successful and smoother result,' she says.Regular body brushing also works really well ahead of epilating as it increases the circulation, blood flow and drainage from the lymphatic system, which will improve the results. Use a soothing moisturiser afterwards but nothing fragranced or perfumed. For best results, epilate before bed to allow your skin to settle while you sleep.' How We Test Epilators
