Getting rid of hair in the bikini zone requires a special approach from women.
This part of the body is highly sensitive.
Not every lady can regularly visit the beauty salon, but each seeks to make her skin smooth and clean.
Today we will consider the features of hair removal and depilation at home.
Epilation and depilation of the bikini zone at home: what is the difference?
“Epilation” and “depilation” are very similar terms in meaning. They indicate the removal of unnecessary hair from the body. However, there is still a difference between these concepts.
After hair removal, a woman gets rid of unwanted vegetation on her body forever, since the hair root is completely destroyed. As a result of depilation, only the visible part of the hair is removed, their follicles continue to live.
In post-Soviet countries, almost all body hair removal procedures are commonly referred to as “hair removal”. Electrical appliances that show off in store windows are called “epilators,” and special creams for removing hair are called “hair removal products.” The fact that these familiar names are incorrect, no one even thinks.
Let's take a closer look at the features of hair removal and depilation of the bikini zone at home. This will allow not only not to get confused in the future, but also to choose the most optimal method for eliminating unwanted hair in the intimate area of a bikini.
Epilation in the bikini zone at home: methods and tools
In hardware cosmetology, there are many methods for hair removal of the bikini zone. Among them are the following:
• laser hair removal - the hair growth zone is “cleaned” by means of laser radiation;
• electrolysis - the destruction of hair follicles occurs due to electrical energy, which is converted into heat;
• photoepilation - irradiation of an area with unwanted vegetation with thermal energy derived from light energy;
• AFT hair removal - hair removal by pulsed light;
• Elos Hair Removal - the combined use of laser, electric and light energies.
These methods are very effective in combating excess hair. In just a few procedures, you can become an irresistible goddess with a smooth, even bikini area. However, not at home, but in specialized salons!
But you can still get rid of unwanted vegetation on your own for a long time. The real magic wand was launched on the market by the English company RIO DEZAC. Portable Laser Epilators became a real find for modern women. Hair removal in the bikini area with this device has turned into a pleasant and comfortable procedure.
The advantages of diode epilators:
• eliminate hair for a long period;
• the procedure can be carried out at home;
• hair removal does not take much time;
• the procedure is painless, therefore suitable for owners of delicate and hypersensitive skin in the bikini area;
• After hair removal, ingrown hairs do not appear.
The power and area of laser radiation in home semiconductor lasers is less than in salon devices, but they are still very effective. The only drawback of the epilator is its high price.
Before purchasing the device, you should carefully read the list of contraindications. Similar procedures can not be performed with skin diseases, varicose veins; allergies and even colds. Also, laser hair removal at home is not recommended in the presence of a strong tan.
Laser epilators show good results in the fight against black hairs on fair skin. With thin and light hairs, the device copes more difficult. Before buying an expensive device, every woman should consult a dermatologist. This will avoid disappointments and possible complications.

So, the heated wax is applied to the desired area. After a few minutes, the strips are torn off with a sharp movement. The skin after such a procedure remains smooth and clean for a week. The wax remaining on the skin is easily removed using a cotton pad with any cosmetic oil. If the procedure is performed incorrectly, bruises can remain on the skin.
