Home-use epilators (optical beauty devices) that can remove hair at home, but recently there are more and more high-quality ones with good cost performance, so you don't know which one to choose, right?
This time, we will explain how to choose a cheap home hair removal device, 11 popular recommendations and points to note.
Part1. How to choose a cheap epilator!3 important points
There are three important points to consider when choosing a cheap hair remover.
- Check the amount per irradiation and the irradiation area
- Check available parts
- Check if the cartridge can be replaced
I will explain each in detail.
Ⅰ. Check the amount of money per irradiation and irradiation area
The number of times the hair remover is irradiated is determined by the product. Most of the products are 100,000 to 300,000 times, but it varies depending on the product, so let's check not only the price of the main unit but also the amount per irradiation.
In addition, by choosing a product with a large irradiation area, you can reduce the cost because you can remove hair in a wide area with one irradiation.
Large areas that can be irradiated at once are recommended for hair removal such as legs and arms, and narrow irradiation areas can be carefully removed little by little, so it is recommended for fingers, face, and delicate zones.
Ⅱ. Checking available parts
Let's check whether it can be used for the whole body including the face, VIO and armpits.
Some cheap epilators cannot be used on the face or VIO, so those who are considering VIO line or facial hair removal should be careful.
In addition, the armpits tend to grow thicker and thicker hair than other areas, and are difficult to irradiate because of the dimples.
We recommend the one that comes with a cartridge shaped to fit the hollow of the armpit, or the one that has a filter that does not place a burden on the skin.
Ⅲ. Check if the cartridge can be replaced
If you are going to buy it, make sure that the cartridge can be replaced so that you can use it for a long time.
Epilators with non-replaceable cartridges are single-use products, and when they are used up, you will have to purchase the main unit again.
There are various types of products that can be replaced with cartridges, such as expanding the irradiation range and parts.If you want to do hair removal from the whole body, it is recommended to choose a cartridge with a wide lineup.

Part 3. Precautions when using an epilator
There are 4 things to keep in mind when using a hair remover:
- Moisturize well before and after hair removal
- Avoid moles and pimples
- Avoid exfoliating before and after sun exposure
- Gradually increase the power of irradiation
Let's take a closer look at each.
■ Moisturize and cool before and after hair removal
Moisturizing your hair well before depilation will make it easier for light to reach the hair roots, so you can feel the depilation effect more effectively.
After hair removal, you may feel tingling or hot flashes, so cooling is also important.
Some epilators have a cooling function, which is convenient because it can be easily cooled before and after hair removal.
If there is no cooling function, it is recommended to wrap the ice pack in a towel to cool it down or use a chilled towel.
In addition, since the skin tends to dry after irradiation, it is important to moisturize it with lotion or cream.
■ Avoid moles and pimples
If you irradiate moles and acne, there is a possibility of burns and you may feel strong pain.
Also, since inflammation of acne may worsen, avoid irradiation or protect it with a bandage or seal to prevent irradiation.
■ Avoid hair loss before and after sunburn
Sunburned skin is dry. If you irradiate in that state, the heat will be difficult to absorb, and the light will concentrate on the melanin pigment on the skin surface, so you will not be able to obtain a sufficient hair removal effect.
In order to get the full effect during the hair removal period, take sufficient UV protection.
■ Gradually increase the irradiation output
When hair is removed for the first time, the number of hair roots is large and the hair roots themselves are solid, so the amount of heat absorbed into the skin increases.If the amount of heat is large, it will be easier to feel the heat and pain, so start with a weak irradiation output and gradually increase it.
Repeated irradiation weakens the hair roots and reduces the amount of hair that reacts, so the pain gradually disappears.
Part 4. Summary
This time, I explained how to choose a cheap epilator, recommended 11 selections, and points to note.
When purchasing a cheap epilator, compare not only the price of the main unit, but also the price per irradiation and the irradiation range, so that you can choose the epilator that suits your needs.
In addition, it is important to refer to the precautions when using an epilator and take care so that you can obtain a sufficient hair removal effect while suppressing skin damage.
