Frequently asked questions
- Does epilation hurt?
- There can be some discomfort at first because hair is removed from the root, though many people find it eases with regular use. Wet use and lower speeds can help.
- How long do results last?
- Results typically last longer than shaving because hair is removed at the root. Regrowth timing varies from person to person.
- Can I use an epilator in the shower?
- Models rated for wet use can be used in the bath or shower, which some find more comfortable. Check the waterproof rating before doing so.
