Why does the hair removal device have a burning smell?

It is normal to have a burnt smell because the principle of laser hair removal is the selective absorption of light. When hair absorbs light, heat energy is generated. Hair is composed of protein fibers. When the heat energy reaches a certain level, the protein will carbonize and a burnt smell will be produced. This smell actually means that the hair removal device is working, so don't worry.

Will the hair removal device burn the hair?

The hair removal device will not burn the hair, because it only uses the principle of photothermal selective dynamics to act on melanin, making the hair follicles inactive and the hair fall off. Its working principle is not to directly burn the hair of the person being haired.

If you don't shave before using the hair removal device, it will burn the hair

The reason why hair may be burned when using a hair removal device is mainly because the visible body hair is not shaved before using the device, causing the hair temperature to accumulate and rise rapidly in a short period of time. Because when it is working, the strong pulsed light of the hair removal device will act on the melanin of the long hair. The hair will generate heat energy when it is exposed to a large amount of pulsed light in a short time, causing it to become curly and accompanied by a burnt smell.

Therefore, if the hair is burnt after using an epilator, it is not a problem with the machine, but rather improper preparation before use and problems with the method of use. As long as you use it correctly and remember to shave off the hair visible to the naked eye in advance, there will be no problem of the hair being burned.
