I know I know that laser hair removal is expensive, but y’all… It’s one of the best investments I’ve made for myself. I have thick dark hair and my results are amazing. My hair used to grow in by the next day. Also, it helps with hyperpigmentation.
@@venusfairy2193 it depends on the person and the body part. But it felt like mosquitoe bites to me. It hurts more at the beginning then gets a bit numb.
Yesss my mom used to wax my armpit and when i moved on to a different city i didn’t know how to do it. I found this way to get rid of them and its amazingggg
@@aliceescx it's worse. Because with waxing you rip it off in one go but, with an epilator you can feel individual hair being pulled so It's fine in other areas but the bikini area. The hair there is thicker right, so it hurts more.
I use epilator for my legs & arms & honestly, its the best way to do it. Quick & easy & yes you do get used to the pain. After a point, it just tickles.
I've been using it for six month. It's great, i do it once a week, Its soft there, doesn't really hurt. I even tried doing it down there it was painful, but I only use it with the top bikini area, and a little bit down but the rest i remove it with a tweezers and shaving. Also I use powder on my skin so that it's dry, it's more efficient that way. It's been going great. I feel like this routine solved a pain, discomfort and pimple crises that I've been suffering with for years.
You hardly even feel it if you're using the right sort of wax in fact! I have waxed like, maybe 3 times tops in my life, but if I want my body hair entirely gone, I'm going for the wax. Not the razor, nor the laser.
Waxing is great because it can also lighten your underarms over time, as it also exfoliates and lifts any dead skin on the surface, allowing cell turnover to increase. Also waxing is a much more even follicle pulling process and will ensure that all your hair is on the same growth cycle speed.
It’s important to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells off the surface surrounding the area of follicles you’re removing, so that the hair is more likely to grow out of the skin as opposed to back into the skin, causing an ingrown hair.
Reverse story here. I used to epilate as a teenager but it was always very time consuming and sometimes caused red spots on my legs. So at some point I ditched the epilator for a razor and never looked back.
@@isabellallamas318 in my case after longer time of epilating, i had sort of enlarged hair follicles. So it seemed my legs were full of visible ”dots” and nothing made them go away. Took some time, only shaving for them to return to normal
Yall laser is the best thing ever! I have done my armpits and bikini two years ago and its amazing, it’s so worth it! And from where i am its number one hair removal method so it’s cheap thankfully
@@superchicken1832 hair will eventually grow back, because the laser won't make the hair that you currently have, grow back but they will eventually die and get replaced by new hair. But we are talking about a long process. Did my laser 8 years ago, and I didn't shave my legs for like 4 years, had to keep shaving the bikini area because they can't get the hair that grows in the inner part. But like the outer part and the legs are still basically hairless, I think that maybe 5% grew back. So I started waxing 2 years ago. Then this year I am retouching my bikini area and started armpit laser. I will definitely recommend it because even if you might have to still wax or shave it's so much faster and easy. Be aware that laser don't work on red, blonde and white hair. And if you have dark hair, with a tweezer try to pluck like 10 hair in the same zone, if they mostly have a darker root, laser will be effective. But if they have a clear root, laser won't probably be able to get rid of all your hair (this is what my esthetician told me)
My mother has always had one of those machines I think since I was born or even before that, and one of the best things she has ever done for me is telling me to use it instead of shaving. I've been using it since the day puberty made me grow hair in my underarms and the pain doesn't even bother me anymore! It's been almost 10 years and I love to do it because it looks better, it's smoother, it last a lot more than shaving and it prevents coloration (at least in my case). Also laser removal as of now is expensive to me so the epilator is my alternative. I use baby powder to make the epilator run smoother through my pits (since I sweat easily and if the area has too much friction it can prick my skin) and after that I wash the area and massage it along with applying cream or oil to moisturize and help with the pain and redness.
I’ve been doing this since I was 12 so happy it’s working for you, very cheap and worthwhile in the long run. Put baby powder on the area before, it helps with tugging 😉
It is great, that it worked for you! I always got ingrown hairs. Even when I followed all the rules. So for everyone who want to try this: maybe don't go in with too high expectations.
For anyone wondering why its better then waxing. Is because you need to wait for thr hair to grow in order to start waxing which for some people its hard to do and they hate the proccess of growing it. With the epilator you can use it while the hair is still short and itll rip it from the follical 😊
I’m obsessed with laser I recently had only two sessions of laser underarm hair removal and omg it changed my skin texture of underarms , it’s not expensive it’s amazing
When you do it for the first time it does hurt more but only because it’s long hairs. You need to trim them down but not too short so the epilator can reach them. Plus having a warm shower first helps
Epilation tips I learnt over a span of 5 years If hair is longer, trim it and epilate the leftover stalks. Longer the hair,more the pain. Use baby powder to epilate Moisturize the night before Always clean your epilator head with some rubbing alcohol because it can give you bumps and nasty bacterial infections like folliculitis otherwise Exfoliate two or three days after your epilation, keep exfoliating once a week to prevent ingrown hair Never try your bikini area with this, you will cry for the gods to end your life. Pubic hair is meant to be trimmed only. (Dermatologist given advice)
Honestly waxing is so much more easily accessible to non professionals these days; as an esthetician, I would recommend getting a GiGi wax pot and the starter kit including all the aftercare and precare solutions. It’s cheap and will last you forever, with practice you get the hang of it and you can do ANY part of your body. However, if you take any acne medications or use topicals that already chemically exfoliate and increase your cell turnover, you DO NOT want to wax because it will lift your skin.
If you are consistent enough with waxing, your 60% or more of your hair will eventually stop growing and you’ll have almost nothing to remove for months at a time.
@@ashleyelizabeth9332I used lasers many times now my underarms are dark. Even bikini area also. Idk what to do 😭😭 can you please help me ? Will waxing be good for me?
I m just so scared to wax down there Especially around the labia I tried to wax once and because of the smooth skin and weird angle of the hair growth there, the wax couldn't be pulled properly and it wa stuck 😭 i m traumatized from that experience Epilation surely hurts more but at least it gets the job done and doesnt stuck Do u have any tips on how to wax down there??😭
Next time somebody gets on my case about not shaving and doesn't take the following answers of "I hate how it gets prickly" or "I see no personal reason to," I'm just going to show them this video. I admire your commitment to hating your body hair, but I'm too weak for that 😅
best decision to use this for armpits and legs. DONT use it for bikiny (its the most paintful experience). wax there or go to a waxing salon to get it done..
It is. But the trick is is to go over the hair really quickly, and you won’t feel the pain. Everyone goes over it slowly, and that’s when it gets red and painful. Try it.
Hey :) I’m doing this for a couple of years now and it’s really better than shaving. Eventually they will grow faster than once a month but it’s still much more convenient. But sometimes there can be problems too: 1) ingrown hairs, 2) irritation if the skin is not perfectly dry while shaving. But it’s still better 😁♥️
Waxing does the same thing it’s in one or two strips for under arms and if you get it done professionally it shouldn’t be that painful! It also takes 4-6 weeks on average to grow back the hair!
Guys it’s totally worth it ! Trust me when I tired it the first time IT HIRTED but if your determined you’ll get thru it. I started with legs then arms then I did down there honestly it took me a few tries to get used to it but let me tell u my skin feels softer. also another benefit when u epilate and u wanna do waxing u don’t feel anything. I got waxed down there as epilated was time consuming and omg no pain at all . GUYS START SLOW IF NOT WAX BC THAT SHIR DONT HURT
I’ve never ever shaved, I’ve used an epilator since I was 11 and I’m telling you, the best decision I’ve made. I can go 2 weeks without having to use it and then do a quick session to remove fine hairs and be silky smooth. It gets more painless overtime. It may seem daunting to begin with, my recommendation is getting a couple of waxes before you start using them to help fine your hair and get used to the pain.
I’ve been using an epilator for 7 years now. I never used it on my underarms or bikini-lines, as these areas are SUPER sensitive and can damage your skin there! That being said, they have decreased my hair growth on my legs and they last longer than shaving so, if you’re interested, def invest into one like Braun.
I used to epilate and it gave results of shaving but with pain. Then purchased and best reviewed at home cheap ipl from Amazon and 1 year later I have little to no hair. You don’t have to purchase expensive to see results
I have used epilator for my legs almost all my life.. the biggest con is once the hair grow out of hair follicle it makes your skin extremely itchy. For few days the hair are in odd length they cant get removed by epilator or any other method. So if you want show your legs in this period you cant do anything all you have to do is wait for the hair to grow. So I started shaving its easy and you can shave whenever you want to and you are good to go
Epilation is good for touch ups. I used Epilation for face or fingers or chest or around the nipple or bellybutton because there isn't a lot of hair. But if you have a lot of coarse hair or want to use it on hairy parts or sensitive parts of your body, it's going to be so painful and nightmarish. You can feel your hairs being ripped out one by one and sometimes the hairs break mid shaft. So i wouldn't recommend it for bushes.
Beauty doesn’t have to be pain, you don’t have to do this. I know it’s a preference to shave or not but I invite you to really think about where that preference stems from. Was it from you or from societal expectations?
FOR those who don´t know how to use it , Before using it, just put any baby powder you have and put it on the place which you want to remove hair. You can remove the upper head of the epilator , and it comes with a small brush so that you can remove the hair on the epilator while using it, and when you are finished, all you have to do is remove all the existing hair. Then wash it and sterilize it
I use an epilator! Baby powder first to remove traction and be quick, the pain will eventually numb. It’s much easier to use it as maintenance than to go in after not doing anything for a while. Baby powder after using it can also help! Also, keep that away from the bikini… it’s just an awful idea.
I’ve tried but the hair was so strong the epilator was struggling 😂 i use it everywhere else, even on my face, and it’s the best freaking thing ever!!!
Everything is good with epilator the pain is also tolerable when you get used to it but the freaking sound just disturbs other so much 😅 I wish that it don’t make sound so loud
OKAY LET ME TELL YOU. i have very thick and dark hair on my arms and legs and armpits so i never ever shave, only epilate and the occasional wax. for arms and legs, exfoliate with exfoliating gloves and a moisturising bodywash like dove then immediately epilate the WET SKIN, shower with antibacterial soap and moisturise with baby oil on damp skin afterwards. NO STRAWBERRY SKIN I TELL YOU, your skin will be sensitive for the next day BUT IT'S SO WORTH IT. for armpits, exfoliate the day before then then next day, lubricate the armpit with a bit of baby oil then epilate slowly. shower with antibacterial soap and put some aloe gel on it. TRUST ME(btw epilating hurts less and less over time and an epilator is literally the best one-time investment i've made in very long)
I epilated for like 15 years.. Started with a base model Braun.. And went upto version 9 wide headed.. Very good investment and each time the instrument lasted for 4 years min.. The hair thickness went down and got sparse and more easier to do over few sessions... Bikini was still a big no no there... Buuuut.. I bought a Braun IPL and its totally wooooorth it.. I do the Bikini too now and it feels so good down there with almost no hair down there after a few sessions.. I hv to do a follow up sesion a month at most for Bikini... I used it for underarms.. And after 3 sessions all gone🥰.. I can go out now anytime with any kind of dress without hvg to bother.. You need to give a go to an IPL too..
I used it for a couple of years and it never got easier for me. It hurt just like for the first time. I always felt awful. Swithed to razors and now i live a happy life without pain
I use it on my legs and the bikini line (i wouldnt advise using it more on the bikini area) and since im not too hairy, i only use it like once a month and i only shave if theres tiny hairs and i just want to get rid of them for a specific reason. The only problem i have is that i get strawberry legs for about 24 hours after and idk how to avoid that. Ive tried scrubbing before and after, showering before, and using moisturiser after. Scrubbing RIGHT after im done seems to work a bit but i still get the strawberry legs, just less intense. However, it doesnt really bother me because it goes back to normal in 24 hours or less. I just dont epilate if i know i need my legs to look nice any time in the next 24 hours.
Been epilating my entire body since almost 3 years.. Started with Remington. Horrible epilator! Painful, noisy, useless and died within year. Switched to Braun ❤ it's perfect.
I start with epilating when I was I guess 13 first time in my life. Never know the other options (wax, razor etc.) Then I go to laser when I'm 22 and now back to epilating.
As an aries who has been looking for a perfect solution since laser isnt fast enough, THANK U(i only mention my sign cuase shes an aries too idk about astrology so dont ask)
I’ve used this even for my bikini almost 15 years and last year December I decided to do laser epilation every 6 weeks of treatment after 3 sessions i lost 85% I need to take other 3-4 sessions
Everyone just so easily suggests laser for the bikini area GIRLS YOU CAN HAVE RISK OF OVARIAN PROBLEMS not just ovarian problems but for gurls who are planning to have kids laser could actually mess up your eggs leading to so many anomalies to the foetus aka your baby. So be aware of doing the bikini area especially if youre planning on having children in the future
At home laser hair removers are more pricey but worth the investment especially compared to paying thousands at clinics. 6 weeks later and my hair on my legs is 85% gone and half gone on my arms and underarms. I have another 6 weeks to go and I think it'll be completely gone by then or atleast 90-95% which is easy to deal with
started using that when i was 10 and stopped at 14 cause pain never got any less strong and i've always cried doing that (also i had to shave 2-3 Times a week anyway so wasnt Worth it)
Hahahha I actually have forgotten how painful it actually is 😂 I've been using an epilator for 13 years now and it's the best, and I do use it on my bikini too lol Although I think wax might be slighty better but kinda messy so I never wax

@@venusfairy2193 it depends on the person and the body part. But it felt like mosquitoe bites to me. It hurts more at the beginning then gets a bit numb.
Tip is to get a wax first and then touch up over time with the epilator

Second day, took bath and used epilator
What about shave first and then use epilator
@@Tiffany-ov2jfthat works too but you gotta let the hair grow out a little

It gave me ingrown down there and big pimples full of cyst 😀💔

It's also mess free and very clean
Quick? It tooks hours.
How do you clean epilator?

Learn about dry brushing...ingrown is just trapped hair under dead skin.
You have one with an iceholder on it. It numbs before it oulls out the hair. It works.

It was the complete opposite for me. I kept trying my bikini area but it hurt so damn bad I couldn’t
@@HeyyitzAlyssa oh that's a bummer!
@@Wonderwillyful yeah I just couldn’t handle it so I continue to shave lol. I love epilating for my underarms and legs tho
I’ve tried but the hair was so strong the epilator was struggling 😂 i use it everywhere else, even on my face, and it’s the best freaking thing ever!!!
How does she do that omg to this day epilating my armpits is the most painful thing I’ve experienced 😭
Everything is good with epilator the pain is also tolerable when you get used to it but the freaking sound just disturbs other so much 😅 I wish that it don’t make sound so loud
This just hurts, just use a laser as it destroys the hair folicol
Girl i thought you were katy perry the second i opened the video 😂
And you also sound like her ❤
Lucky you. I've been using an epilator for almost 10 years. And the hair grows in less than 7 days
Doing it the first time made me cry hahaha it got better after that for me!
waxing is a better option if you want your hair to be competely removed. epilator causes a lot of ingrown hairs when it's used consistently
Just wax it! Much better than epilator
If you use baby powder before and after using it can actually make it feel less painful (or at least it feels like that to me hahah)
I always use it... In the passage of time you will feel less pain than in the beginning... It's gonna be a normal thing
I think you can use Numbing cream so that you do not feel pain like we do to the sensitive area
OKAY LET ME TELL YOU. i have very thick and dark hair on my arms and legs and armpits so i never ever shave, only epilate and the occasional wax.
for arms and legs, exfoliate with exfoliating gloves and a moisturising bodywash like dove then immediately epilate the WET SKIN, shower with antibacterial soap and moisturise with baby oil on damp skin afterwards. NO STRAWBERRY SKIN I TELL YOU, your skin will be sensitive for the next day BUT IT'S SO WORTH IT.
for armpits, exfoliate the day before then then next day, lubricate the armpit with a bit of baby oil then epilate slowly. shower with antibacterial soap and put some aloe gel on it.
TRUST ME(btw epilating hurts less and less over time and an epilator is literally the best one-time investment i've made in very long)
I epilated for like 15 years.. Started with a base model Braun.. And went upto version 9 wide headed.. Very good investment and each time the instrument lasted for 4 years min.. The hair thickness went down and got sparse and more easier to do over few sessions... Bikini was still a big no no there...
Buuuut.. I bought a Braun IPL and its totally wooooorth it.. I do the Bikini too now and it feels so good down there with almost no hair down there after a few sessions.. I hv to do a follow up sesion a month at most for Bikini... I used it for underarms.. And after 3 sessions all gone🥰.. I can go out now anytime with any kind of dress without hvg to bother..
You need to give a go to an IPL too..
americans just discovering epilators and wax bro
Put baby powder on your armpits before you epilate!! Since it’s getting rid of the moisture it hurts wayyy less
Laser is a game changer, I would recommend
I need help girls
I'm having lots of ingrown hairs on my armpit and bikini area what should I do?
sorry for mistakes
im facing this too 😢
Excelente video y explicación. Muchas gracias
I used to epilate my underarms and I started getting ingrown hair even though I exfoliated regularly. The bumps looked massive! I stopped doing it.
It’s the best solution for armpits
It’s not good for people with really sensitive skin though bc you might get histamine bumps and potentially hives
I can see the want for this, I feel spoiled being blonde, I've found just using a buzzer every now and then is enough.
I used it for a couple of years and it never got easier for me. It hurt just like for the first time. I always felt awful. Swithed to razors and now i live a happy life without pain
What type of razor do you use and does it give the same result of epilator ?
What’s the difference with using wax? I feel like the wax would be quicker. Painful but for a spilt second
Im using this since 2008 to now on my private area aswell it doesn’t hurt any more
I have been epilating for a few years now and it still hurts, just a bit less but would recommend for anybody
I use it on my legs and the bikini line (i wouldnt advise using it more on the bikini area) and since im not too hairy, i only use it like once a month and i only shave if theres tiny hairs and i just want to get rid of them for a specific reason. The only problem i have is that i get strawberry legs for about 24 hours after and idk how to avoid that. Ive tried scrubbing before and after, showering before, and using moisturiser after. Scrubbing RIGHT after im done seems to work a bit but i still get the strawberry legs, just less intense. However, it doesnt really bother me because it goes back to normal in 24 hours or less. I just dont epilate if i know i need my legs to look nice any time in the next 24 hours.
Been epilating my entire body since almost 3 years..
Started with Remington. Horrible epilator! Painful, noisy, useless and died within year.
Switched to Braun ❤ it's perfect.
I use it as well and it hurts but it works ;)
I also used to do epilator on my legs, it was best but I started having issues of ingrown hair:((
I start with epilating when I was I guess 13 first time in my life. Never know the other options (wax, razor etc.) Then I go to laser when I'm 22 and now back to epilating.
As an aries who has been looking for a perfect solution since laser isnt fast enough, THANK U(i only mention my sign cuase shes an aries too idk about astrology so dont ask)
I was just about to ask about the
Bikini 😅 I wanna try that 🤭
Change the head of the epilator to the one for sensitive areas
I’ve used this even for my bikini almost 15 years and last year December I decided to do laser epilation every 6 weeks of treatment after 3 sessions i lost 85% I need to take other 3-4 sessions
Everyone just so easily suggests laser for the bikini area
GIRLS YOU CAN HAVE RISK OF OVARIAN PROBLEMS not just ovarian problems but for gurls who are planning to have kids laser could actually mess up your eggs leading to so many anomalies to the foetus aka your baby.
So be aware of doing the bikini area especially if youre planning on having children in the future
My mom does her bikini like it’s a normal chore for her I don’t know how she does it that shit HURTS
It completely stops hurting, and the hair comes back thin and light. It's a game changer. Bikini though... 😬
when you thought someone was finally gonna normalize not shaving ur armpit as a female :’((
there are people who do that. check Queen Esie. I follow her
Nah that's gross
I started epilating my legs. I REALLY want to do my under arms but, oh boy, I’m terrified 😂
It’s takes some time and then you won’t even feel it.
At home laser hair removers are more pricey but worth the investment especially compared to paying thousands at clinics. 6 weeks later and my hair on my legs is 85% gone and half gone on my arms and underarms. I have another 6 weeks to go and I think it'll be completely gone by then or atleast 90-95% which is easy to deal with
What's its name and how much??
@@Salima-rh6edits probably the Braun Smart IPL Skin I-Expert PL7253
OMG U ARE MY LITERAL CHILDHOOD
I wish I was this brave
I used to use an epilator: painful and my hair are the same.
I've been using it for many years..my skin looks so dry and inflamed and it causes follicular Hyperkeratosisc so it's not good for long usage
Omg srsly
started using that when i was 10 and stopped at 14 cause pain never got any less strong and i've always cried doing that (also i had to shave 2-3 Times a week anyway so wasnt Worth it)
Hahahha I actually have forgotten how painful it actually is 😂 I've been using an epilator for 13 years now and it's the best, and I do use it on my bikini too lol
Although I think wax might be slighty better but kinda messy so I never wax
I did this like…twice and goddamn it’s painful decided never to use it again (unless I’m going on vacation)
I used it for my armpits for a long time it’s amazing and painful just at their first time then you get used to it
I use it for all my body and it's so good it's better than shaving
