How to use a hair removal device

Before using the hair removal device, you should clean it and disinfect it thoroughly before use. When using, first simply and roughly shave off the hair visible to the naked eye, then adjust the hair removal device to a suitable position. The hair removal device requires vertical movement, and then after operating the hair removal device, apply soothing skin care products to the area where the hair has been removed.

Precautions for using hair removal device

1. You need to shave off the epidermal hair the day before using the epilator, otherwise the light of the epilator cannot reach the root of the hair follicles, which will directly affect the hair removal effect. In addition, there will be an unpleasant smell of burnt hair when using the epilator.

2. When using the hair removal device, be sure to aim the light outlet at the part to be hair removed and keep it vertically close to the skin. If it is not completely close or not vertical enough, light will leak out and damage the eyes.

3. When using a hair removal device, you must not repeatedly irradiate the same area, as this will damage the skin and may cause erythema or blisters.

4. If you have tattoos or wounds, you must avoid these areas. You cannot use hair removal because the principle of hair removal is to allow light energy to act on the melanin in the hair follicles to hypnotize them. However, tattoos or areas with darker skin will accumulate a lot of melanin, so using a hair removal device will affect the skin itself.

Can I take a shower after using the hair removal device?

After using a home hair removal device, be sure to use some body lotion with a mild pH value and simple moisturizing ingredients. Body lotion can be used to moisturize and soothe the skin after hair removal to prevent the skin from becoming too dry, fragile and sensitive. After hair removal, the skin accumulates heat, so it is best to take a shower a little later. The water temperature should not exceed 50℃ and you can take a shower with warm water. Remember not to use shower gel or skin care products containing fragrances, which can usually be exposed to water two or three days after hair removal. In terms of diet, you should pay attention to abstaining from raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods.
