Does the hair removal device remove hair immediately? How long does it take for the hair removal device to be effective?

Nowadays, many people like to use home hair removal devices to remove hair at home. Hair removal devices are quick and convenient to use and are loved by everyone. So, does the hair removal device remove hair immediately?

Does the hair removal device remove hair immediately?

The hair removal device does not remove hair immediately. The working principle of the hair removal device is not to remove hair, but to use the photothermal principle of the hair removal device to reach the hair follicles. After the hair follicles absorb the laser, a photothermal effect is produced, which causes the hair follicles to heat up, coagulate and necrotize, thereby achieving the hair removal effect. However, the energy generated by using a hair removal device once is limited and cannot achieve an immediate hair removal effect. Generally, multiple applications are required.

How long does it take for the hair removal device to be effective?

It depends. Everyone's hair length, density, and hair growth rate are different, so the effect of using a hair removal device is also different. If the body hair is not very long, it is generally used 1-2 times a week. After 1-2 months of use, a more obvious hair removal effect can be achieved. If the hair on the body is dense, you will notice that the hair growth rate slows down significantly after using it for about 2 months. As long as you keep using it, you will get better hair removal effect.

Do I need to pluck the hair before using an epilator?

The hair in the desired area needs to be removed, but plucking with hands is not recommended. Before using the hair removal device, you need to remove all the hair in the desired hair removal area, because if there is too much hair and it is not removed, it will affect the hair removal effect. In addition, the hair removal device will generate light and heat energy during use. If the hair is not removed, the hair may be burned during the hair removal process. However, it is recommended to use a razor to shave off the hair instead of pulling it out with your hands, otherwise it will have a bad effect on your body.

The dangers of hand hair plucking

1. Cause folliculitis

If you pull out sweat hair directly with your hands, it will cause certain damage to the hair follicles. When the hair follicles are damaged, they will easily become infected, resulting in symptoms of folliculitis.

2. Cause pain

If you pull out sweat hair directly with your hands, it will cause pain to the skin, which will cause certain damage and irritation to the skin, causing physical discomfort.
