Number of speeds
The number of speeds provided in the epilator.
Having
two or more speed options in the epilator offers the flexibility to select the most fitting operational mode for specific situations. A lower speed is ideal for minimizing discomfort in sensitive skin regions and effectively removing fine hair without breaking it—ensuring extraction along with the follicles. Conversely, a higher speed aids the epilator in managing coarse and stubborn hair, simultaneously reducing procedure duration.
Note that even in advanced epilators, the number of speeds does not exceed 3 — in fact, this is quite enough.
UV filter
A filter incorporated into the flashes of the photoepilator lamp to block ultraviolet radiation. Excessive exposure to this radiation can be detrimental to the skin and heightens the risk of burns.
Reusable flash
Possibility of operation of a photoepilator or a laser epilator (see "Type") in the reusable flash mode.
In this mode, each time the lamp is turned on, it does not emit a continuous pulse, but a series of short flashes. This way of working is considered relatively gentle and at the same time quite effective, especially when processing large areas.
Pulse interval
The time between two separate lamp flashes. The shorter the interval between pulses, the faster you can move the device and the less time the procedure will take.
Usage for face
The possibility of using a photoepilator to remove facial hair. The facial areas have their own characteristics (for example, the skin is usually lighter) and require a separate mode of operation, which is provided in photoepilators with this function.
