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.
The main difference between using an epilator and tweezers is the obvious ability to remove multiple hairs, making it much more viable for larger areas. There is another difference, however, in that the way in which the epilator should be used pulls hairs in the opposite direction to which they grow. How does Waxing Work? There are two different types of wax - hot or cold.
