Does using an epilator reduce/increase hair?
I used rotary epilators for a while. Actually, anyone can go back on my posts and dig the posts up if they wanted. Anyway, I found that rotary epilators did not make my hair get gradually thinner. Not at all. In fact, it made fine hairs grow back a bit coarser.
What I found was that hairs that were wispy, tapered, and had a natural curve to them, when rotary epilated, would grow back straighter, darker, and no longer had the natural contour whispiness. They resembled “Frankenhairs”; they grew out looking very unnatural. The direction and shape of the hair no longer matched the contour of the skin. I hated the appearance. This is my firsthand experience.

If you are thinking of using a rotary epilator, I advise against it. They are terrible. They are more accurately described as “ingrown hair machines.” I got tons of ingrown hairs from using them despite following all the precautions and aftercare. It still didn’t help. If you want to try a similar method, I recommend learning to wax. For some reason, waxing is much better at effectively pulling out hairs uniformly and gently.
Rotary epilators will give you “oatmeal” skin. This lumpy appearance results from the harsh breakage and trauma the skin undergoes with rotary epilation. I can always spot someone who uses rotary epilators.
I hope this answers your question and provides useful insights.
What to Know About Hair Removal With an Epilator
An epilator is a device designed to remove unwanted body hair. Like waxing, it removes hair directly from the roots.
An epilator is an electronic device that removes body hair from the roots. In general, epilators remove more hair than electric shavers do. Although they can take more time and effort to use than shavers, they can save you time and energy in the long run. Because an epilator removes hairs at the root, you won’t have to use it again for several weeks.
Epilators can be used at home or at a clinic, depending on the type. You can buy an epilator for home use for as little as $25. More elaborate ones can cost more than $100.
Types of Epilators
There are three different types of epilators: needle, tweezer, and electrolysis.

Needle epilators. This type of epilator has a fine wire that goes under your skin to reach the hair follicle. It sends an electric current to destroy the hair root, loosening the hair. You can then remove the hair with tweezers.
Tweezer epilators. This type uses a rotating head containing many tiny tweezers. The tweezers grab the hair close to your skin and pull it out.
Electrolysis epilators. Electrolysis epilators, also known as medical electrolysis devices, destroy hair using a shortwave radio frequency. Since this type of epilator destroys the hair follicle, you can use it to get rid of unwanted body hair permanently.
Although this type of epilation is effective, it’s riskier than the other types. You also can’t do it at home. You need to book several appointments for the procedure. Consult a licensed professional for this kind of treatment.
You may need to undergo topical anesthesia for electrolysis.
Differences Between Waxing and Epilating
Epilating and waxing remove hair by targeting the follicle. However, there are some differences.
Hair removal method. Waxing is more low-tech since you don’t need any electronic tools. All you need is wax and some cloth strips. You can get waxed in a salon or use a home kit.

- Look at the hair you want to target. It should be around 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch long. If it’s too long, trim it to the proper length so waxing will be easier and less painful.
- Make sure you haven’t used skincare creams with prescription retinoids or retinol in the past two to five days. Otherwise, you might remove skin along with the hair.
- Wash the area you’re going to wax to remove dead skin cells, dirt, and skincare products. Then, dry your skin as thoroughly as possible since wax won’t stick to wet skin.
