Question 1

How do epilators work?

Accepted Answer

Epilators belong to the root hair removal methods. Electric tweezers on the epilator's head are used to remove unwanted hair from legs, underarms, arms, bikini area, face or other body areas. As the hair is removed directly from the follicle it provides a long-lasting smooth result.

Question 2

Can I use an epilator on my pubic hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use your epilator as well for your bikini line. As the area is more sensitive, Braun offers wet & dry epilators for epilating in the shower or bath, and massage roller cap for more comfort.  Braun also offers epilators designed for sensitive areas with the exclusive Smart Touch, which easily let you adjust between power and gentle mode via the pressure put on your skin.

Question 3

How to get the best epilation experience as a beginner?

Accepted Answer

The more you get used to the sensation of epilation, the more painless it becomes. Hence, our first advice would be to epilate regularly. Further, you can make the experience more gentle by epilating in the bath tub or under the shower (if your epilator is designed for wet & dry usage), and by using Braun massage roller cap. Many women report a better experience in combination with the warmth of the water.

Question 4

Is it better to epilate wet or dry?

Accepted Answer

Whether to epilate wet or dry is completely up to you. Both options deliver the same efficient results. Many women report a better experience when epilating under the shower or in the bath tub, but in the end it comes down to personal taste. When epilating wet, please ensure that your epilator is designed for wet & dry use.

Question 5

How long do epilator results last?

Accepted Answer

As the hair is removed from the follicle, epilation gives a smooth skin, which lasts for weeks not only days.

Question 6

How often should you epilate?

Accepted Answer

If you're a newbie, epilate once a week. If you're a pro, drop it down a notch and epilate once every three weeks.

Question 7

Is using a Braun Epilator painful?

Accepted Answer

Most women trying epilation for the first time find it much less painful than they expected. If you epilate regularly, any discomfort usually reduces as the skin adjusts to the process.

Question 11

Can Braun give me tips on how to get the best results when Epilating?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is 2-5mm long. Ensure your hair is free of cream and oil. Have a bath or shower before epilating. This makes the hair easier to remove. Make sure the skin is dry before epilating unless you are using a Silk-epil Wet & Dry model which can be used on wet skin. Epilate slowly.  It should take approximately 15 minutes to do each leg. Move the epilator in several directions. Depending on the area you’re epilating, hair grows in different directions and you should move the epilator accordingly.
