The fight against hair removal concerns both men and women, there are many ways to perform it, and we often speak of epilation and hair removal mistaking them for two synonyms.

In reality, the two words have quite different meanings!

Hair removal

It involves the removal of unwanted hair quickly, but not permanently. The disadvantage of this method is the short regrowth time and the frequency with which the process needs to be repeated. The most common methods include razor blades and depilatory cream, with which only the hair shaft is removed, but not the bulb. These methods often cause irritation to the skin.. 

Epilation

The main difference is the time it takes for the hair to grow back, as the bulb is also removed, so it can take up to four weeks. The most common hair removal methods include waxing, tweezing and silk epil.  In order to achieve a progressively definitive method of hair removal, it is necessary to undergo laser hair removal sessions, whereby the number of hairs and their size are gradually reduced until they are removed once and for all.
