There are inexpensive hair removal devices for home use, but many of them cost tens of thousands of yen, so it can be said that it is quite a big purchase.Many people who are reluctant to purchase a home-use epilator may be wondering if a home-use epilator is really effective.
However, people who say, "I don't want to buy a home-use hair remover for tens of thousands of yen and it doesn't work, and I keep getting rid of unwanted hair with a razor," need to be careful. If you continue to treat with a razor, the pores will become inflamed and darkened, and the cross section of the hair will remain, making black spots more noticeable.
Home-use epilators cannot remove hair permanently, but if you use them regularly, you can aim for much cleaner skin than using a razor.
In addition, recent home-use epilators are equipped with not only hair removal functions but also skin-beautifying functions, making it easier to aim for beautiful skin.
Therefore, this time, we will introduce a home-use epilator.

I'd like to introduce_______
Part1. About the effect of home epilators
Epilator for home use is a depilator with lower output than the commercial epilator used in beauty salons so that it can be used at home, and it has the effect of damaging the tissue that grows hair and making it difficult for hair to grow.
Therefore, it should be understood that permanent hair removal is not possible as with esthetic hair removal, and that hair removal and hair suppression effects are expected.
Permanent hair removal is a treatment that can only be done at a clinic, so if you want to have permanent hair removal, you need to get the treatment at the clinic instead of purchasing a home-use epilator.
Part2. Types of epilators for home use
For home depilator
- flash type
- laser type
- roller type
there is.
flash type
Laser hair removal can only be performed at medical institutions, so flash hair removal was created to treat similar things at beauty salons.
Many of the household epilators currently on the market use this flash type.
Flash-type home-use epilators generally approach the regeneration part of the hair root with a flash called "IPL" and damage it, making it difficult for hair to grow.
However, flash reacts to melanin pigment, so while it is more likely to react to dark and thick hair, it is less effective for hair with thin melanin pigment such as downy hair.
Compared to laser hair removal devices for home use, flash hair removal devices take longer to feel the effects, and for better or for worse, they are gentler on the skin.
However, flash-type home-use epilators have the advantage of being able to irradiate a wider area than laser-type home-use epilators, and they can be processed quickly.
laser type
The laser epilator approaches the hair papilla deep inside the hair root.
Laser hair removal performed at medical institutions is called permanent hair removal because it destroys the hair papilla that produces hair and prevents hair from growing.
However, laser hair removal devices for home use are only beauty devices, so the output is lower than the lasers used at medical institutions, and permanent hair removal is not possible.
Even so, it does more damage to the hair than a flash-type hair remover for home use, and it can be said that it is easier to feel the hair removal effect.
However, the disadvantage of the laser hair removal device for home use is that it is more painful than the flash type.
In addition, the radiation range is narrow, and it is not suitable for irradiating the whole body.
Laser hair removal devices for home use are suitable for those who want to treat relatively small areas such as the armpits and V-line, and those who want to carefully irradiate relatively large areas such as arms and legs.
roller type
Roller-type epilators do not irradiate flash or laser like flash-type or laser-type home-use epilators, but physically remove hair.
Since the hair is caught in the roller on the head and pulled out, it is easy to feel pain, and the hair that is growing is only temporary, but it does not make it difficult to grow.
However, since the hair is removed simply by sliding the roller over the skin, it is more efficient than removing individual hairs, and the advantage is that it is cheaper than flash or laser hair removal devices for home use.
Part3. How to choose an epilator for home use
I will show you how to choose a hair remover for home use.
If you can't feel the effect of a home hair remover, or if you feel stressed about using it, it will be difficult to follow the manufacturer's recommended intervals of use.
Therefore, when choosing an epilator for home use,
- hair change
- less pain
- ease of use
choose with an emphasis on
hair change
This is the most important point when choosing an epilator for home use.
Depending on the type, there are products that are good at removing thick and thick hair, products that are good at removing downy hair, and products that are less likely to leak irradiation even in a wide area.
Therefore, when choosing a home hair remover, choose one that is effective for the hair you want to approach.
less pain
People who have hair removal for the first time are easy to feel pain.
If there is pain during irradiation, it becomes stressful, and people tend to stop using home epilators.
Therefore, it is a good idea to choose a hair remover for home use that causes as little pain as possible.
ease of use
The weight of the main unit, the interval between flashes, and the size of the irradiation range are also important points when choosing an epilator for home use.
In particular, if the flash interval is long or the irradiation range is narrow, it will take time to remove the hair, making it difficult to use a home hair remover.
Therefore, choose a home hair remover that is not only effective and painless, but also easy to use.

Advantages of home epilators
Unlike medical hair removal, permanent hair removal is not possible with home epilators.
However, for home epilators,
- Treatment can be done while staying at home
- not embarrassing
- less financial burden
There is a charm.
You can easily operate while staying at home
The beauty of home-use epilators is their simplicity.
Since you can remove hair while staying at home, even busy people or people who are lazy can easily remove hair in a short gap.
No matter how good the treatment is, it is meaningless if it is not continued, so the most attractive point is that you can easily perform the treatment at home and continue without difficulty.
not embarrassing
When undergoing treatment at an esthetic salon or medical institution, it is embarrassing to have VIO and bust hair removal in particular.
There are areas that are difficult to irradiate until you get used to using a home epilator, but you can remove hair without feeling embarrassed.
For those who are embarrassed to go to beauty salons and clinics, we recommend a home-use epilator.
less financial burden
We often see beauty salon commercials claiming that hair removal can be done for a few hundred yen to several thousand yen, but that is the price for removing hair on small areas.
It generally costs over 100,000 yen to get full body hair removal at a beauty salon or medical institution.
On the other hand, home-use epilators can remove hair from the whole body for tens of thousands of yen, so it can be said that it is very attractive for people who want to remove hair as cheaply as possible.
Part5. Precautions when using home epilators (3 or more)
Here are some things to keep in mind when using a home hair remover.
When using a home depilator
- Pre-treat your hair the day before
- Sun protection before and after hair removal
- Cools and moisturizes skin after use
let's
Pre-treat your hair the day before
If you use a home hair remover without shaving your hair, the melanin pigment in the flash will react more than necessary, and you may get frizz or burns.
Therefore, when using a home hair remover, let's process the hair by the day before.
Sun protection before and after hair removal
Sunburned skin is in burn condition.
Therefore, if you use a home hair remover on tanned skin, it may cause skin problems such as redness and rough skin.
Therefore, be sure to take sun protection before and after using a home hair remover.
Cools and moisturizes skin after use
Nowadays, there are more and more home-use epilators that are gentle on the skin, but the skin is subject to heat and damage after irradiation.
Therefore, be sure to cool and moisturize your skin after using a home epilator.
