How to choose and what to look for?

First of all, before choosing a photoepilator for the home, you need to get advice from a cosmetologist or dermatologist..

He will give recommendations on the intensity and frequency of skin treatment, since not all manufacturers care about the health of customers and indicate the maximum frequency of use of epilators above the recommended one.

When buying, it is necessary to take into account the total number of pulses produced by the lamp - the duration of the device's service life directly depends on this.

The second important quality of lamps is the possibility of replacing them.. Not all devices provide for such an opportunity, and after the resource of the model with a non-replaceable lamp is exhausted, they must be disposed of.

Another important factor is coverage and safety.. It is necessary to decide for which areas the photoepilator will be used.

For the treatment of delicate areas of the face, armpits and bikini, sometimes not only a delicate regimen is necessary, but also special nozzles.

Many modern models are universal and equipped with additional nozzles..

Their presence will provide better and easier photoepilation and reduce the risk of injury from burns.
