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 processes are very similar. But not exactly the same. Waxing and sugaring removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin when the strips or wax is pulled off. This gives your legs a smooth and silky feeling as the new skin cells are revealed. So removing the hair isnât the only purpose of waxing. With an epilator it canât do this. It just removes the hair and doesnât do anything to the skin at all. There shouldnât be any difference in the quality of the treatment. So a patch of hair waxed, and a patch of hair removed by an epilator should regrow at the same speed.
