Epilators are electronic devices that mechanically pull each hair completely from the roots. There are different types of epilators available in the market that can be used either with or without water. Epilators can be used if you are too busy to visit a salon and need to remove the upper lip or eyebrow hair.

Waxing is an effective method of hair removal for the arms and feet because it removes the hair completely from the hair root in large quantities. Following are the differences between the two methods.

• Time required: Epilators are quicker in removing the hair than shaving and waxing.
• Convenience: Epilators do not create a sticky mess such as waxing. They do not require more setup to work and are easier to clean up. Some epilators can be used with water and are convenient to use during a shower. However, some epilators can be used without water. Therefore, they are convenient to use anywhere.
• Discomfort: You may have some discomfort with both epilators and waxing, which reduces over time.
• Regrowth: Results with both methods are long-lasting, and the hair may not grow for three to six weeks. However, epilators can remove just 0.5-mm-long hair, whereas waxing may remove 2- to 12-mm hair. Therefore, epilators’ effects last longer, and the hair will take longer to regrow in between sessions.
• Durability: Epilators are durable and compact, unlike waxing products. However, waxing is cost-effective compared with epilators.
• Side effects: Most side effects of waxing and epilators are similar. A person may get painful bumps and rashes around the pores for a few hours after using epilators. This generally resolves after some time. If you have sensitive skin, you may have severe rashes and boils. You may also experience some ingrown hair after using epilators and waxing. Exfoliation before using an epilator is the best practice to avoid ingrown hair. Moreover, try to avoid tight clothes on the area that have been epilated recently. If you have sensitive or allergic skin, you may experience more bruises, rashes, or bleeding in some more sensitive areas of skin. Similarly, while waxing, if you do not practice proper hygienic care, there may be a risk of skin irritation, bleeding, folliculitis (infection of pockets from which the hair grows), or infection. Additionally, your skin may get very dry or sore if you need to do it for the same area multiple times.

Ultimately, both epilators and waxing are great hair removal methods for long-lasting effects. If you have extra sensitive skin and cannot tolerate pain and are fine with additional prepping, then it is best to go for traditional waxing. However, if you can tolerate some pain and need a quick, easy and convenient durable gadget, then epilators are a much better option than waxing. There are different types of epilators, but tweezer-type epilators are more effective.
