Epilators

With a row of tweezer like module attached at the head, an Epilator is known to be one of the most sophisticated devices for hair removal. Its working process varies highly from an electronic razor, though it appears to be the same.

An Epilator induced with its row of tweezers actually is devised to pull out the hairs from their roots, eradicating the fast growth of hairs or any harassing stubs.

The head of an Epilator incorporates a series of metal plates mounted in a plastic housing. The ends of the plates are exposed at one or both sides of the housing. As the head rotate, the tips of the plates move together and apart once per revolution. This creates a tweezer effect, where the hair between the plates is pulled as the plates rotate away from the skin, then released as the plates separate. This allows a continuous cycle of gripping, pulling, extracting and discarding the hair as the Epilator is moved across the skin.

An Epilator, as a hair removal devise is considered good for legs and arms and its effect lasts several days to several weeks; depending upon the interval of use. But its use can only be effective on long hairs which allow the grasping aspect.

On the other hand, an Epilator can be hard at times to use on the back of the legs. Moreover with the motion of the tweezers, it becomes necessary to pull the skin tightly in order to avoid getting pinched.

An Epilator is at times uncomfortable to use on sensitive areas as well as on fine hairs.
