How to choose a photoepilator

Smooth and delicate skin - this is what representatives of the beautiful half of humanity have sought for centuries. Today, methods to combat unwanted vegetation on the body are more gentle than those of our ancestors.

A more acceptable and effective method that almost all beauty salons have adopted is photoepilation.

Benefits of Home Hair Removal

Using a conventional photoepilator device, you can achieve an excellent result. Advantages of using a photoepilator:

• at the time of the procedure, only slight tingling is felt;
• at the end of work on the skin there is no irritation and rashes;
• this procedure has no contraindications, with the exception of skin diseases or the inflammatory process in the body.

This effect is achieved thanks to a special laser that acts directly on the hair root. The light pulse sent destroys the follicle. The main advantage of photoepilation is the complete cessation of the growth of unwanted hairs for 5-8 years (but this effect can be achieved only after several sessions of this procedure).

In order to get rid of hairs on the face, arms, legs, bikini area, under the armpits it is not necessary to leave the apartment. Enough to get an innovative device and enjoy the perfect smoothness of the skin.

Photoepilation at home has several advantages, including:

1. Save time - you no longer have to register in the salon, run to the beautician at the indicated time and wait for your turn.
2. Saving money - of course, the first payment in the form of a photoepilator purchase will be expensive, but the following procedures will fully pay off the previous costs.
3. Inner calm and harmony - not everyone is pleased to show their body to a stranger, albeit in pursuit of beauty. But at home you can relax and get from the procedure not only an unsurpassed result, but also true pleasure.

What characteristics should be considered when choosing a photoepilator

Before you go to the store for a purchase, it is worth considering that the photoepilator acts only on dark hair. This is due to the fact that the beam acts on melanin. In red, gray and fair hair, it is not enough, therefore, the effectiveness decreases several times. Moreover, the lighter the skin - the better. Melanin is also present in swarthy and tanned skin. Contact with intense rays can cause burns.

IMPORTANT! If moles or age spots are present in areas with increased vegetation, consult a specialist. It is possible in this case to use a photoepilator is extremely dangerous.

If the above nuances are considered and do not raise questions, you can go for a purchase. In order not to get lost among the mass of models, several aspects should be remembered.

Security, power and options

This is perhaps the main quality of the photoepilator, regardless of model. When buying, pay attention to the following:

1. Make sure that you are not a cheap Chinese company, because it can be a fake. It is better to approach the purchase with all responsibility and choose a well-known brand, which puts in the first place the quality of their own products. So you can avoid all kinds of troubles.
2. The UV filter must necessarily have an orange-red tint, which indicates its sufficient power.
3. Settings must be adjusted manually. This makes it possible to independently choose the intensity of the beam depending on the treated area of ​​the skin.
4. The presence of a sensor that determines the skin tone. It will help set up the photoepilator and avoid burns.

Efficiency and Durability

A high-quality photoepilator has a quartz lamp with a large charge of flashes. Different manufacturers have different number of photoepilation sessions for complete cessation of hair growth, so you should pay attention to this fact.

The number of flashes indicated in the instructions indicates the duration of the device. In effective models, this figure is at least 200 thousand. Subject to the rules of operation and proper storage, such a device will last more than 5 years. At the same time, you should not opt ​​for cheap models, since a poor-quality photoepilator poses a direct threat to health.
