Epilators are electric machines that pull hair from the follicle. Plucking, waxing, and sugaring, in contrast, are manual forms of epilation. This hair removal treatment leaves the area hairless for several weeks. Not to be confused with electric tweezers, which remove individual hairs, epilators remove multiple hairs at once.
Epilators often look like electric shavers and work best on the legs. This is an easy and inexpensive way to remove leg hair at home. Results last longer than shaving, but not as long as laser or pulsed light techniques.
With any type of epilation, you may experience discomfort. Make sure your hair is long enough to be grabbed by the epilator, and keep skin taught to avoid painful pinching.
Epilators can cost anywhere from $30 to $100.
