For the device intended to permanently remove one hair at a time, see Electric tweezers. Closeup of the head of an epilator. An epilator is an electrical device used to remove hair by mechanically grasping multiple hairs simultaneously and pulling them out. The way in which epilators pull out hair is similar to waxing, although unlike waxing, they do not remove cells from the epithelium of the epidermis. Aside from the spring in early spring-type epilators, there are no parts in epilators that require regular replacement.
Using an Epilator. Electric epilators look and handle a lot like electric razors, but rather than a series of rotating blades, rows of tiny, rotating tweezers are on the head of the device. This allows multiple hairs to be grasped and tugged out as the epilator passes over the skin's surface. Like electric razors, epilators are charged using a conventional power cord. Rotary epilating is strictly an at-home procedure, the success of which depends on choosing a state-of-the-art device. Slimmer epilators that remove hair in difficult-to-treat areas like the bikini line are also available for purchase. The cost of a rotary epilator generally ranges from $40 to $120.
