In spite of the fact that a lot of people are involved in the epilation and depilation industry, only some of them seem to understand the difference in the terminology. Some people are probably sure that epilation and depilation are the same. This concerns not only clients but also unexperienced cosmetologists. Even books have now become the agents of offensive unprofessionalism. For example one of the cosmetological issues for a wide range of cosmetic lovers wrote that depilation was hair removal made with a help of chemicals but epilation was done mechanically and physically.

What is the difference between depilation and epilation?

Depilation is the hair shaft removal.
Epilation is the removal of hair with its root, which leads to hair follicle damage that provides the possibility to stop the hair growth permanently.
Electrolysis is the safe method of radical hair removal using different types of electrical current or their combinations depending on the area of treatment.
Currently there are a very few methods to efficiently and permanently remove unwanted hair from the body; many of these methods have a long list of counter-indications. Electrolysis is the only efficient and at the same time safe method of unwanted hair removal from different parts of the body. Young women and girls try plenty of means to get smooth skin but many of these available means have a lot of unwanted side effects: irritated skin, allergic reactions, increasing hair amount, visible traces of hair removal (red spots which are easily seen on the skin after the hair removal) and many others.
With the help of electrolysis hair can be removed from almost any part of the body. Women mostly use electrolysis on their brow line, upper part of the nose, cheeks, chin, neck and shoulders. Women after 40 tend to remove hair from the upper lip as the hormonal changes often have negative reflections on the appearance. It is possible to remove hair from the back, breast, stomach, legs, arms and bikini zone. It is recommended to remove hair from the inner part of the nose and ear canal only after consulting with a doctor and after careful disinfection.

Right after the treatment the skin will get a little swelling and reddening which disappears after 30-60 minutes. It can stay longer – it depends on the individual skin sensitiveness.
The skin right after the treatment :

Although the treatment takes a long time and can last for one year or a year and a half, however the progress becomes obvious after 2-3 months. Here is the example of the treatment on the upper lip zone:

In the beginning of the treatment there was a lot of hard dark hair (men type). After hair removal the skin looked dark because a lot of ingrown hair.
The picture above was made three months after electrolysis procedure: some single grown hairs are left, which are thin and soft and partly without dark pigmentation. It is already possible to see some clean areas of the skin.

The risk of complications – scarring, inflammation, burns, pustular processes, dyschromia (skin pigmentation disorder). It shall be noted that these phenomena can occur only in case of violation procedure technique, non-compliance with hygiene requirements, or improper skin care after the procedure. EpilPro Salon uses high-quality equipment, only permitted fibers and individual gloves. All pliers are disinfected properly and used tips are processed with antibacterial solution. Our experienced cosmetologist – electrologist accurately calculates the needed mode and will talk in details about skincare after the treatment.
