What is Epilation?
Epilation is the process of removing unwanted body and facial hair using various methods. Some methods used for this process are effective for a very short time, with hairs growing back quickly, while others provide hair-free results for weeks. After repeated sessions, significant reduction in hair roots, thinning of hair, and permanent hair loss may occur. While short-term hair removal is referred to as depilation, it is more accurate to define permanent procedures targeting hair roots as epilation.

Genetic traits, hormonal disorders, certain medications, and obesity are among the many factors that can cause excessive hair growth. The cause must be investigated and treated. Not every unwanted hair growth is excessive.
What Methods Are Used to Remove Unwanted Hair?
Methods such as shaving, plucking with tweezers, waxing, threading, hair removal creams, and depilatory devices are used for depilation purposes.
For epilation, devices like needle epilation (electrolysis), laser devices, and IPL devices are used. Devices often mistakenly referred to as home lasers are actually IPL devices.
