For centuries, women have been struggling with excessive hairs on the body. Especially annoying is their presence on the face. Previously, improvised means were used for removal, but now the facial epilator is more convenient. Customer reviews help you navigate the brand of the device and make sure the need for additional nozzles and accessories.
Causes of facial hair
Before removing hairs, you should understand the reason for their excessive appearance. This problem may depend on hereditary factors, race, and may indicate a health problem.
The most common cause of excess facial hair is endocrine disruption. Therefore, to solve the problem, it is better to contact the endocrinologist and gynecologist.
If everything is in order with health, it remains only to resort to cosmetic procedures or purchase an epilator for the face. Reviews about the device dispel doubts about the painfulness of the procedure and show a rather tangible result.
The main advantages of using an epilator
Among the users of this device there are different opinions about its effectiveness, feasibility and safety. After analyzing the opinions of customers, we can distinguish several significant advantages that a female facial epilator has:
- The models are designed in such a way that it is possible to remove hairs even in hard-to-reach places such as the nose.
- Many devices are universal thanks to nozzles. With their help, not only hair removal is performed, but also eyebrow correction and even face peeling.
- A lasting result that lasts up to three weeks. Moreover, unlike other possible means does not cause dry skin.
- Despite the initial high cost, the device helps to significantly save money. After all, its service life is from 5 to 10 years. Accordingly, all this time there is no need to purchase razors, wax strips or other alternative means, which will fully pay off after a year of use.
Those who use a long time epilator for the face, reviews are almost always positive. But you should consider some of the disadvantages associated with the use of this method of hair removal.
Epilator Disadvantages
Many who first tried to use an electric device complain about the painfulness of the procedure and therefore refuse to use it in the future. But manufacturers are trying to please their customers and produce models with cooling strips and other painkillers.
Those who constantly use the epilator argue that regular use significantly reduces pain, and there are less hairs.
The use of an epilator promotes mechanical irritation of the skin and, accordingly, redness and swelling. Therefore, it is not recommended to use the device before going outside. However, unpleasant consequences disappear within 1-2 hours after the procedure.
The principles of the epilator
Hair removal devices differ in how they work. There are tweezers and disk options.
With the tweezers, the working space consists of a rotating disk with small tweezers located on it in a checkerboard pattern. The principle of hair removal is to grab and pull it out. Judging by the reviews, such a device is rather painful, but it allows you to get rid of the problem for a long time (up to 4 weeks). In addition, gradually the hairs become less and less, and their number decreases.
The disk version is similar to the first, but instead of the drum there is a disk. The difference is in faster operation and an increased number of exciting devices. Accordingly, the pain is somewhat reduced due to speed, and removal occurs in one go.
Innovative laser
Using a laser, you can permanently get rid of the problem of excessive hairiness. A beam aimed at the follicle destroys the hair follicle. Therefore, the laser method is considered the most effective and has many advantages:
- the skin is not broken;
- practically no irritation;
- high efficiency;
- lack of pain;
- safety of use;
- Suitable for use at any time.
But to get the result, earlier women had to go to the salon. Now this procedure can be carried out at home, using a laser facial epilator. Its use also requires compliance with certain conditions.
Features of using a laser epilator
This method is indicated for adults over 18 years old who have hair shade from dark to light brown. If the light is too light, there will be no effect. In addition, you can not use a laser home epilator for the face if:
- diagnosed with cancer;
- there is herpes in the treatment area;
- there is an acute infectious disease;
- diabetes mellitus detected;
- very light or red hairs are present in the hair removal zone.
Studying the reviews about the use of a home laser epilator, you can identify the following complications:
- burn;
- folliculitis (pathology is minimized if, after hair removal, water procedures are limited and a sauna or a bath is not visited);
- allergic rashes;
- conjunctivitis if precautions are not observed during the procedure, directing the beam into the eyes and ignoring the use of glasses;
- exacerbation of herpes in people with reduced immunity.
It should be noted that these complications rarely occur and completely disappear if you fully adhere to the recommendations and consider contraindications.
