Plucking leg, underarm or bikini line hair is a tedious task. In addition, if we choose to use razors, wax or electric epilators, we must bear in mind that this process will have to be repeated with some frequency.
If we want to make it easy for ourselves, we can opt for a very comfortable and effective hair removal tool, we are talking about pulsed light epilators.
If you are still not sure whether to opt for this method, known as photoepilation, at El Comprador de La Vanguardia we tell you everything you need to know, how to do it yourself at home, and we suggest the best pulsed light epilators on the market. the market.
The so-called photoepilation is a hair removal technique that uses light technology to permanently remove hair. It is about emitting light that has different wavelengths that is effective in weakening and removing body hair.
A technique that uses small shots of light through a xenon lamp. This light is fired at a short distance from the skin (between 3 and 5 millimeters) and is absorbed by the melanin in the skin and hair. This light causes a heating of the hair that causes the progressive destruction of the hair root.
Many people turn to beauty centers that are experts in this technique to get rid of their body hair, but epilators for home use have also come onto the market that allow you to do it in the comfort of your home.
These models, which we could call homemade, are priced between 80 and 400 euros. A high price, but much cheaper than the session packs in a professional center. Therefore, it comes out much more on account.
We must also take into account that photoepilation requires reminders to get rid of hair. Therefore, having our own device at home, we will not have to make an appointment at the beauty center every year when the good weather arrives.
After knowing what they are for, what benefits there are in having one of these photoepilation devices at home, and how to use it, it is time to know which models are the best.
