Rating of the best Panasonic epilators and photoepilators in 2020

Since ancient times, man has been removing hair from the body. Smooth, delicate skin is a symbol of female attractiveness. Female representatives by various methods are trying to achieve a complete absence of hair. Men, on the other hand, remove profusely growing hair mainly in open areas.

The best manufacturers of electrical goods and household appliances have created electrical hair removal devices. The Japanese firm Panasonic is leading the way with versatile epilator and photoepilator models.

Depilation and its types

Depilation is called hair removal without removing hair follicles. After a short time, hair begins to grow from the remaining root.

Depilation methods include:

• shaving;
• clarification;
• mechanical pulling with tweezers or thread;
• waxing - a wax mixture is used;
• shugaring - a sugar mixture is used;
• chemical removal - the destruction of hair occurs under the influence of special cream solutions, which are removed from the skin with a scraper;
• electrical removal with electric epilators.

Epilation is called hair removal along with the rhizome or through the removal of the hair follicle, stopping hair growth.

Hair removal methods include:

• electrolysis - removes even the smallest hairs by destroying the hair follicle with an electric discharge. Suitable for spot hair removal;
• laser destruction of the root;
• photoepilation - root destruction using a high-pulse light beam;
• elos - removal with the combined use of a light beam and electric current;
• ultrasonic - the upper hairline is removed with wax and a special agent is applied to the skin that stops the growth of follicle cells under the influence of ultraviolet radiation.
• enzymatic destruction of the root - enzyme.

Popular models of home epilators allow you to depilate and epilate yourself.

Overview of devices for individual use

Depending on the method of destroying the hairline, the following types are distinguished:

1. Electric epilator - runs on mains, battery or in combination. Budget epilators that have two types:

• disc - the hair is pulled out with disc tweezers. Inexpensive models have a small number of tweezers and several modes. Remove a shock of hair, thereby causing pain. They are distinguished by noisy work and reliability;
• tweezers. The epilation head consists of a large number of tweezers, removing hair less painfully with less noise. Average price is higher than disc.

2. Photoepilator - painless epilation due to the supply of light pulses occurs in several sessions. For devices with a fixed lamp, the resource is limited by the number of flashes. Based on the technology of the procedure, the device is of two types:

• with IPL system - autonomous operation of the device. The affected area is dark growing hair. Do not use on areas with dark skin, to avoid burns;
• ELOS technology that combines pulsed light and electric current. This allows you to not painfully destroy roots and hair of any color and on any skin. Wired network-only devices.

3. Laser epilator. Infrared radiation destroys the root through the hair shaft without harming the skin. Suitable for dry and sensitive skin. The power is lower than professional equipment. It is required to carry out several procedures, since the impact area is not large. The cartridge yield is determined by the number of flashes.
4. Trimmer. Small compact efficient device. Ideal for delicate areas and facials as it does not irritate the skin.

1. Protection of the case against moisture. The water resistance of the machine allows you to epilate the surface under jets of water, using the wet method to clean the device. Softening the skin with foam reduces pain.
2. Optional shaving attachments with hair trimming function for bikini areas. Allows to do styling in the bikini area, cut hair.
3. The exfoliation attachment and massager prepares the skin and nourishes the removal procedure.
4. The floating head stroke facilitates efficient removal at folds.
