The only really painful spot was my knee caps and I still haven't completely finished them due to that. Most of the reviews I've read said that the upper thigh area is more painful than lower legs but I didn't find that to be the case. I was able to fully epilate my legs in about 30 mins. I found taking deep breaths to be helpful. I used the massaging cap on my legs and while it was still painful it wasn't unbearable. The bikini trimmer was also a nice bonus as I had already been looking for one.īefore I epilated I took a hot shower and exfoliated well. I picked this one because of the great reviews I found for it, and because it had all of the accessories I wanted. I had been researching epilators for a while before I decided to take the plunge. I highly recommend this product and wish I could go back in time to tell my more harier self about it because it would have saved me years of frustration, nicks and cuts, razor burn, razor bumps, wax stickyness, time, and money. A loose strand may get caught and it seems like it would hurt quite a bit (judging by how the product works). Lastly, just a tip: tie your hair (on your head if it's long) when you're using the epilator.
So the more you use it and if you regularly maintain, it gets easier and less painful. In terms of pain, I'm not going to sugar coat things - it feels like plucking at super fast speeds because that's essentially what's going on. The trimmer does a great job too, it is a bit better than my husbands trimmer but shhhh don't tell him I've used his. It does take a bit longer than using a razor but it's worth it.
#SILKEPIL XPRESSIVE SKIN#
My skin feels smoother than ever and hair no longer grows back all at once so it is very easy to maintain. I have gotten a few ingrown hairs after using the epilator and that is my only con about the product. Now I've learned to let the epilator run in rubbing alcohol for a few seconds before using it on my face and apply an acne treatment after epilating - problem solved. I even use the epilator on my face and it does a great job (better than plucking and much faster too) although I have gotten pimples because of it. It removes even the tiniest hairs that could not be removed from waxing (about 2mm). I've had it for a few months now and no longer need razors. Definitely great for a cleanup of the bikini line for bathing suit season.įace - I’ve never had to wax anything on my face, just tried it on baby hairs just to see what would happen. Don’t know if I’ll stick with this or not. I swear many of those hairs are not coming back. This thing will get hairs out by the ROOT. Don’t use the smaller heads, use the efficiency head and speed 2. Now that I know what the hell I'm doing it’s easier and less painful. I recommend getting to know your Epil a bit first before driving in. At first it hurt more than waxing I’d say. This is not for the faint of heart, it was very intimidating and there was a pretty steep learning curve. Don’t do this unless you’ve had at least 20 waxes. Won’t go back to waxing.īrazilian - yes I did it. Both roller and efficiency heads work fine. Underarms - the smaller heads I find just hurt more and take longer. The efficiency head works nicely as well. It leaves a few hairs but they are so fine, waxing would have just broken them off too. Legs - used the roller head, speed 2, completely painless, quick and easy. Before getting this I was a frequent waxer so my hair is quite fine and sparse.
