Number of speeds

The number of speeds provided in the epilator.

Having two or more speed options in the epilator offers the flexibility to select the most fitting operational mode for specific situations. A lower speed is ideal for minimizing discomfort in sensitive skin regions and effectively removing fine hair without breaking it—ensuring extraction along with the follicles. Conversely, a higher speed aids the epilator in managing coarse and stubborn hair, simultaneously reducing procedure duration.

Note that even in advanced epilators, the number of speeds does not exceed 3 — in fact, this is quite enough.

Skin type sensor

An automatic sensor that identifies the skin type being treated by the photoepilator. Individuals have varying skin types, which vary in sensitivity and color, influencing the selection of the best operational mode for the photoepilator. The sensor simplifies configuration by supplying essential data.

Charging time

What is the duration required to fully charge the epilator battery from complete discharge to 100%? If the battery usage is limited to home use for convenience, the charging duration might not be extremely important. However, if the device is frequently carried during trips, it's advisable to consider models with a shorter charging time.

Operating time

The lamp's photoepilator (refer to "Type") can generate a certain quantity of flashes on a single battery charge. A longer operation time results in an extended battery life, reducing the frequency of recharging.
