Philips Epilator

Philips epilator

An electronic device invented in 1986 that mechanically yanks out multiple hairs in a go the epilator is similar to tweezing hair except it hastens the process up. Like waxing as well but without the application of anything on the skin and it pulls out the hair but does not remove cells from the epithelium of the epidermis. 

Epilators are produced by many different brands. Philips is among those brands and has one model that has slight upgrades over time. It is known as the Philips Satinelle Essential and is a compact device which uses a cord for power. The epilation head is washable to make it easier to clean. This Philips epilator also comes with a brush which one can use to get the smaller hairs out of the machine. The other variations of this same model have a trimmer head and a trimming comb along with it.

The design is simple and small making it an easy fit for one's palm. 

Using an epilator and the advantages

The first few times of using an epilator can be a bit more painful. One should keep their skin taught so it is easier for the machine and there are lesser chances of your skin getting pinched. There are different head sizes with some of the models so one can choose the correct one for the area they need to epilate.

An epilator can pull out short hair which means you do not have to wait for it to grow too long before you can be rid of it. The hair can be at 2 millimetres and an epilator can get it out; some models can even work on hair shorter than that. An epilator will also leave behind smoother skin in comparison to shaving.

Considerations

Some people's skin can be sensitive and epilators can cause inflammation, especially in the initial times. There can also be bleeding but after the first few times, the follicles become more resilient and do not bleed.

Comments

Epilators are also convenient because they can be used at home and save on the cost of having to go to a salon for hair removal. The Philips epilators are sold at varied prices, depending on the specific model. Prices range from the lower to mid-range.
