The same thing affected one of the areas of the beauty industry, dealing with the problem of excess body hair. Every year the arsenal is replenished. The most popular now are sugaring, wax strips and depilatory creams, the main competitors of which have always been salon procedures such as laser hair removal.

How does fooeplator differ from other depilatory products?
But what’s surprising is that relatively recently a completely new device called a photoepilator entered the market, which in its characteristics is comparable to salon units, and the procedure can be carried out at home.
A photoepilator is a cosmetic device whose operating principle is based on the use of high-frequency light. The pigments contained in the hair, which are responsible for color and structure, absorb light waves, as a result of which they are destroyed. The negative process in the hair then continues and transfers to the bulb, which, in turn, dies.
All other hair removal methods do not affect the hair follicle, which is why the effect of such procedures does not last long.
Is it worth buying a photoepilator for home use?
Let's figure out who exactly this device is suitable for:
- owners of fair skin, but whose hair grows thick and dark;
- in the event that you do not have increased hair growth, which can be either hereditary or caused by hormonal imbalance or other negative effects on the body;
- if your skin is thick enough, as flare-ups can leave burns on sensitive skin.
In addition, the device is contraindicated in the following cases:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- the presence of neoplasms of an unknown nature on the skin;
- the presence of scars, scratches or cicatrices.
Important! Be careful if you have varicose veins and its prerequisites in the form of a pronounced vascular network on the surface of the skin. It’s better to play it safe and check with a specialist.
Using a photoepilator at home is not at all difficult, but it takes quite a lot of time. This is due to the fact that the power of home appliances is less than that of salon appliances. This was done for the sole purpose of not harming consumers or causing burns. On average, the bikini area can take up to two hours. But, as the hair becomes thinner and less noticeable, the duration of the procedure will be reduced significantly. Perhaps the length of the procedure is the only drawback of the photoepilator, but there are quite a lot of advantages:
- absence of irritation;
- the procedure is painless, although some discomfort may be observed;
- peace of mind, because you don’t have to leave intimate hair removal in the hands of someone you barely know;
- relatively long result.
Expert opinion on the benefits and harms of photoepilator
Note! It should be noted that it will not be possible to get rid of hair forever using this procedure; the procedure will need to be repeated approximately once or twice a year.
Most cosmetologists and beauty specialists still agree that this device is unique and versatile and its use at home is quite reasonable and justified, but this should only be done with a high-quality device. Therefore, you should not save, since the total cost will still be lower than the salon cost, but the procedures themselves will be more comfortable.
