Glossary Mechanical Hair Removal

involves using devices to physically pull hair from roots

Mechanical Hair Removal, also known as Mechanical Epilation, involves the use of devices or tools to physically remove hair from the skin. This can include methods like tweezing, threading, or using epilators, which grasp and pull out multiple hairs from the root simultaneously. This technique can provide longer-lasting results compared to shaving, as it removes the entire hair shaft rather than just cutting it at the skin's surface.
