6 best photoepilators for home use

One of the controversial models - almost every woman wants to get it, and many of those who have already used it are not entirely satisfied with the result of his work. When buying a photoepilator, it is worth remembering that it does not affect fair hair, you should not use it in summer, you can’t use it on tanned and dark skin either, and the effect of the device will be maximum only for owners (or owners) of dark and coarse hair.

One of the features is the ability to replace lamps, which, with a resource of 150,000 flashes, will not be needed soon: with constant use in all areas, including the face, replacement will be needed no earlier than after 5 years.

For use in different areas, the user will find various nozzles in the kit - for the armpits, face, bikini area (the area of the last two is 2 square centimeters). The coverage area of a standard nozzle is 3 square centimeters, although this is enough for use on the legs or arms, but in comparison with analogues, the indicator is small, and more time is needed to work out the zones. Also in the kit you will find a stylish white leather case for storing and carrying the device and a lint-free cloth for caring for the window - you can immediately see that the device is designed for long-term operation.

The intensity of the device is adjustable within 5 levels and the device can operate in both single and multiple flash modes, which will help you fine-tune the device for a convenient and efficient mode of operation. Another feature is a sensor that helps determine the type of skin (for fine tuning).

A device such as a photoepilator, first of all, must be safe, so the developers took care of maximum user protection: a UV filter is provided to protect the skin and protection against accidental flash (sensor) that is triggered upon contact with the skin.

The designers also provided for automatic selection of mains voltage - you can travel and use the device in different countries with different voltages in the mains.

Philips is a trusted brand whose product quality can be traced down to the smallest detail. So, for those who order such equipment via the Internet, the quality of the packaging of the device will be a pleasant surprise. The photoepilator is packed so securely that even the most barbaric transportation will not harm it. Another significant plus for the purchase is that this model is made in Hungary, and not in China, which for fans of European technology can be a key point in choosing.

In total, the photoepilator is designed for 5 power levels, but even in the instructions, where the scheme-table of light intensity is given, it is indicated that you need to be guided by modes 3 to 5, which indicates the low efficiency of the first two modes. But there must always be a choice, so five, not three. As for the resource, the lamp is designed for 250,000 flashes, which will be at least up to 7 - 8 real years of operation with constant use.

On a note! The removable nozzle is provided for easy occasional cleaning, but users report that this procedure is required infrequently - excellent! So, caring for the device will not take much time.

The power button is ergonomically located on the body, and is pressed like a pistol with the index finger, which is very convenient. The operation of the device exclusively from the network - this cannot be considered a minus, because if there is no battery, then there is nothing to fail, which is another plus for durability.

In the box with the device you will find a convenient cosmetic bag for transporting and storing the photoepilator and a lint-free shred for cleaning.

Are there any disadvantages? Like most of these devices, there is no way to remove light, red or gray hair, and the Philips SC 1995 is not main function owners of dark skin.

The first thing that catches your eye when looking at the ES-WH80-P820 model from the Japanese brand Panasonic is a catchy white and crimson color and stylish design, all this indicates that the device is designed for home use.

Despite the compactness of the device and the weight of only 0.3 kg, the light lamp has immodest dimensions for such dimensions - 5.4 square centimeters. Thanks to a series of automatic flashes, it will take several minutes to take care of yourself. So, for example, to work out a bikini line, you will spend 1.5 minutes, it will take 5 minutes for your arms, and 10 minutes for your legs.

At first glance, 20,000 flashes might seem like not as much as we would like, because this is enough for less than a year with intensive use. But with a replacement cartridge for another 20,000 flashes, this will not be a problem - an additional cartridge is included in the kit. A new replacement lamp, which may be needed in the future, costs 8 times cheaper than the device itself and 1.5 times cheaper than full body hair removal in the salon - the benefit is obvious.

Plus, there is also a large window - its size is 7 square centimeters, so the epilation procedure will take very little time (about 10 minutes to work out several zones). This size of the window causes the flash to come out at an interval of 3 seconds. The only thing to remember about the speed is that it depends on the skin phototype and the area of the area from which the hair needs to be removed.

The IPL system, which is embedded in the device, is very powerful and effective: the light enters deep into the hair follicle, detaches the root and absorbs melanin, completely interrupting the active growth phase.

Versatility is a feature of the device: you can use flashes on any part of the body, setting a comfortable power level, choosing any of 6, focusing on your feelings and skin phototype. By the way, to determine the type, you do not need to visit a dermatologist - this will be done by a special sensor.

Speed is the main feature of the device. It will take only 8 minutes to work out the arms or legs. In Gentle mode, the epilator adapts to different hair and skin tones like normal mode, but operates at a reduced energy level for gentle hair removal.

The device is designed for 300,000 flashes, which is 10 - 12, or even 15 years of use! Goodies such as a UV filter for gentle skin care or a reusable flash that protects the skin from overheating are also provided.

What about hair color? IPL is a technology, alas, not for everyone. This does not mean that such an epilator cannot be used to remove light and gray hair - it will simply not be as effective as on dark hair.

Manufacturers have made a "knight's move", and give the Gillette Venus razor when buying this model. Do you think this is to compare the results of shaving and epilation? Not at all! The machine is useful for shaving hair before the procedure.

This model was presented on the market at the beginning of 2018, but has already gained immense popularity over the year, thanks to the use of innovative technologies (IPL pulsed radiation) and a convenient case design by manufacturers.

Wow, 300,000 flashes! you say. But that's not all - the main thing is that the device is universal, and it can be used on all areas, including the face, thanks to a special nozzle. Such a large resource of the device is enough to fight hairs all over the body, and you can not worry that the outbreaks will end soon.

Another plus for versatility - Beurer Velvet Skin Pro IPL 8500 is main function any skin phototype. This photoepilator is designed to effectively deal with even white, gray and red hair. Manufacturers say so, and experts believe that for light hair and dark skin, IPL-based devices will not bring a very visible effect. Who to believe? - it's up to you to decide.

The impressive lamp size of 4.5 square centimeters requires a minimum of time for the procedure - it takes a maximum of 20 minutes to work out all areas of your body. But the intensity level you choose (there are 6 in total) also affects the speed of the device - you can easily select the mode for the skin phototype by choosing a comfortable power. By the way, the device has a built-in sensor "2 in 1", which will independently determine your phototype in one touch.

And a nice bonus - this is the first product from Beurer, which began to work not from the mains, but from the battery, eliminating the need to epilate at the power source! This allows you to take the device with you on a trip or a trip - and it is mobility that attracts customers the most. By the way, one charge is enough to treat the entire body (550 flashes). To recharge the device, it is enough to wait 2 hours.

The free Beurer MyIPL app is a godsend for personal care planning. With it, you will draw up an individual treatment plan and receive a lot of useful advice. The application works without an Internet connection and does not require a connection to the device itself - sheer convenience.

The company, advertising its product, promises to reduce the volume of body hair by half already in the first 3-4 procedures. The only thing that can make you think - the price is above average.
