The difference between epilation and waxing may only be a hair’s breadth, but below we’ll explore in detail the age-old epilator vs waxing debate to help you decide which is better; epilator or waxing. Often underrated, we’ll look at the benefits of epilating in comparison to waxing, made all the easier with the Satinelle Advanced Wet & Dry epilator. By explaining how both methods work, comparing results and highlighting key factors such as cost, effort and pain, we’ll give you the hair-free truth on the epilator vs waxing conundrum.
1. Epilator vs waxing: what’s the best method?
For traditional waxing, you won’t need any kind of electrical device. Hair is pulled out using soft or hard wax, which is applied to the skin. If soft wax is used, strips of cloth are placed on top of the wax, adhering to the hair underneath. In a quick motion, the strips of cloth are ripped away from the skin, pulling out the hairs in the process. Hard wax is pulled away from the skin just as quickly, but without the need for strips of cloth. The main difference between epilation and waxing is that you need to wait longer between waxing sessions than you do between the times when you epilate, as the hair needs to grow to a longer length before it can be pulled out effectively with wax. This is one of the significant benefits of epilating; epilating uses mechanical tweezers to extract even the shortest of hairs from the root. The device is moved slowly at a 90-degree angle against the direction of hair growth. The Satinelle Advanced Wet & Dry epilator gathers hair by firmly grabbing and pulling hairs from the root. Its unique ceramic head grips even the finest of hairs, epilating closer to the skin for a gentler experience. Unlike waxing, the epilator protects surface-level skin cells.
Famously, epilation and waxing are two of the most effective forms of hair removal, but is an epilator better than waxing? First, let’s compare methods.
2. Epilator vs waxing: is epilator or waxing better pain-wise?
Remember, unlike epilating, waxing can remove surface level skin cells, which could lead to further irritation.
When asking the question, “is an epilator better than waxing?”, it’s worth noting that epilator vs waxing pain is of a similar intensity. Both methods will gradually become less painful after being repeated. That being said, epilators come with special features to enhance your hair removal experience. Unlike waxing, the Satinelle Advance Wet & Dry epilatorreduces discomfort with its ergonomic and anti-slip grip for easy use in or out of the shower. Its trimming comb provides a closer shave in more delicate areas, allowing for gentler hair removal. Better yet, the Satinelle also provides a massage cap to soothe the skin after epilating.
