Epilation means removing hair along with the roots. This is done either physically (like with tweezers or wax) or by destroying the hair follicles with a laser or electricity.

The methods of epilation include:

Waxing is a great way of removing hair from large areas, but you should take into account that it can cause burns and it leaves a residue on the skin.
Laser epilation uses light pulses to destroy the hair completely and is perfect for people with dark hair on light skin since the darker the hair, the more easily the laser destroys it.
Sugaring, removing the hair with sugar paste, works in the same way as waxing, but it doesn’t leave any hard-to-remove residue, and the residue it does leave is easily washed away with warm water.
Plucking. Using tweezers is a great way to remove hair in smaller areas of the body, like the eyebrows or any stray hair that grows randomly.
The use of mechanical devices called epilators.
Threading gets rid of hair in a similar way to plucking but using a twisted thread instead of tweezers. Its main advantage over plucking is that it can remove several hairs at once. It’s most common use is in shaping eyebrows.
Electrolysis removes hair permanently by applying electricity to the root of the hair. Like laser, it requires several sessions and each hair must have the treatment individually. Although it’s one of the most permanent methods, it has several side effects, like the possibility of infection.
