Women constantly struggle with excess hair on their bodies. But most of all they are stressed by facial hair, the growth of which needs to be regulated more often than in other areas. And if eyebrows are corrected based on fashion requirements, but the mustache above the upper lip (even barely noticeable) causes a lot of inconvenience. There is not only a cosmetic factor here, but also a psychological one - women are embarrassed by such vegetation.
A facial epilator has its own characteristics and functions.
Epilation on the face
You can remove unnecessary hair on your legs, arms, and even in the bikini area in various ways. As for the face, not all options are acceptable here. Women sometimes have contraindications for some hair removal procedures (for example, laser hair removal). Many are not satisfied with the high prices of procedures, and not every woman regularly visits salons.
To take care of your appearance at home, you have to use alternative products, chosen individually. But, let’s say, tweezers are a thing of the past, and a standard epilator is not convenient to use on the face. And as a way out of the situation - the production of a special device for facial hair removal from.
The facial epilator appeared on domestic shelves relatively recently, but many women have already appreciated the indispensability and benefits of the device. It is quite compact and lightweight, and also has a waterproof body, which allows you to use the tool even while taking a shower. So you can remove facial hair with this device in 2 modes: dry and wet.
Facial care can be necessary to maintain self-esteem at the proper level.
“Braun” is equipped with an attachment that performs its “duties” with the help of many built-in microtweezers. The narrow head of the device allows it to be easily placed in the mustache, chin, forehead and eyebrow area, without causing discomfort to the woman during the procedure. This ensures maximum epilation precision. In addition to hair removal, Brown also performs deep cleansing of the skin using vibrations of the nozzle.
Among the many modifications of the epilator, the “Braun Face” model is popular among women. Carrying out a gentle treatment on the face, the epilator performs complete removal, reliably capturing even the smallest hairs.
10 micro-holes do not just replace 1 tweezers - they significantly speed up the process and make cleaning better. An additional brush smoothes and renews the skin. It can also be used to gently remove makeup.
Photoepilator for home
If after the second session you see that the hairs have become thinner and discolored, you will probably want to continue the manipulations until the bitter end.
If you are limited in funds and time, a home photoepilator is an excellent alternative to salon procedures.
It can serve you well in the fight against unwanted vegetation, if you have no contraindications (coronary heart disease, hypertension and skin diseases or exacerbations of chronic diseases). Having your own photoepilator, you can do as many sessions as you need to get rid of unwanted hair forever. This will cover the cost of purchasing the device and save time spent visiting the salon.
There is an opinion that a woman is either beautiful or smart. Don't believe this statement! A smart woman can always make herself beautiful. She will take advantage of all the latest technological advances, and with the least amount of time and money!
Advantages of the type of hair removal
The Braun epilator was created specifically for facial care, which already makes it a valuable device, because... Here the features of the skin and the contours of the skull are taken into account. The device also has a number of other advantages.
The Braun Face epilator is popular all over the world.
- “Brown” is so easy to use that it allows you to deal with hairs even in your nose.
- Using the device, you can deal with both single hair and entire “thickets”.
- After using the epilator, the need for a subsequent procedure will arise no earlier than 3 weeks later.
- During hair removal, the device does not come into contact with the skin, which means it does not cause severe irritation.
- Using an epilator for the face, there is no need to resort to other means and all kinds of additions.
We can say that this device is quite convenient and economical, and also gives good results. But a couple of points can be considered negative:
- The procedure should not be carried out before going outside, because... after it, the skin on the face remains slightly swollen and red for some time.
- At first, hair removal with Braun may seem painful, because... on the face, the nerve endings are very close to the surface of the skin.
These negative aspects are not so significant, and you can adapt to them. With regular use of the power machine, the receptors very quickly get used to the procedure and no longer react so painfully to it. If you absolutely cannot tolerate such pain, try doing facial depilation with a painless cream.
How the device works
A facial epilator works the same as a regular epilator. It differs only in shape and size: the device is more compact and lighter. The narrow head of the device helps to treat any area of the face: chin, forehead, area above the upper lip and near the eyebrows. An electric epilator does not come into contact with the skin, so it does not cause as much irritation as a razor or tweezers.
The facial epilator works just like a regular epilator.
Of course, like a conventional device, this device has one important drawback: pain. But it doesn't compare to the many benefits, such as the fact that the procedure doesn't have to be done very often. The effect lasts for three weeks.
Mechanical epilator
A mechanical facial epilator is a simple device consisting of a spring and handles that help you hold it comfortably. Many people prefer this type of device because of its low price and small size, as well as its ease of care: you just need to wash the spring.
When using a mechanical epilator, a spring moves, hairs are captured and pulled out by the roots.
The method of using a mechanical facial epilator is as follows:
- Wash your face and use a facial scrub.
- Dry your skin completely.
- Bend the spring of the device so that it takes the shape of an inverted letter U.
- Apply the device to the desired area, sliding against the direction of hair growth.
- Spin the spring.
- If not all hair has been removed, repeat the procedure again.
- Wipe the treated area with tonic (which does not contain alcohol) or chamomile decoction.
- Moisturize your skin with face cream.
Personally, I don't have the patience to tinker with mechanical epilators. At the same time, many of my friends got used to it. Now for them this procedure goes very quickly, and the pain is almost not felt. Choosing an epilator is a matter of taste and habit.
Electrical appliance
An electric epilator is much more effective than a mechanical one. It has higher speed and power. It removes up to 200 hairs in one revolution.
The advantages of an electric epilator are as follows:
- reaches hair in hard-to-reach areas;
- easy to use;
- very often comes complete with several additional devices for the procedure.
The method of using such a device is as follows:
- Take a shower or pre-cleanse your face, removing all makeup. If desired, use a scrub that will help remove dead skin particles from the epidermis.
- Pat your face dry with a towel and wait until it dries.
- Move the epilator head against the hair growth, slowly. Repeat this action no more than twice in one place, otherwise you will get severe irritation.
- After completing the procedure, disinfect the skin, for example, by wiping it with a tonic that does not contain alcohol.
- Apply cream. It will help relieve discomfort.

Description of Braun models
Since the facial epilator is considered a new product in the field of cosmetology, few manufacturers have yet paid attention to this product. Among those who have already begun to create their own lines, the trend is so far (China), because the device is equipped with additional necessary devices. Below is an overview of popular models:
- "Braun SE 820 Face" has already been mentioned above. With its help, it is easy to remove excess hair above the upper lip, in the chin area, and also to model eyebrows.
Required model equipment
- Two in one - this is the Braun FG 1100 SilkFinish device. It combines an epilator and a trimmer (in other words, tweezers and scissors). The model is equipped with a backlight that allows you to detect even the finest hair.
- “Braun Silk-epil 9-558 Wet&Dry” is a very expensive device because it is multifunctional and allows you to solve several problems in caring for your appearance. Additional accessories make it possible to care not only for the face, but also for the entire body. In addition to hair removal, this device also performs light acupressure.
If you come across epilators from other manufacturers on sale, you should also take them into account. For example, a good model “Panasonic ER-GN25” (Russia) allows you to specifically remove fine hair. And “Remington EP7030” (China) is designed for coarse hair. A set of attachments allows you to adjust the grip area of the treated area.
Is it possible to remove hair in the bikini area using photoepilation?
Photoepilation is a fairly safe and delicate method for use even in the deep bikini area. If you are using a home photoepilator, then on sensitive areas with more intense pigmentation, simply use a low flash intensity. The photoepilator cannot be used only directly on the mucous membranes of the genital organs.
