skin gets used to epilation, skin irritation decreases and regrowth becomes thinner and softer. If the irritation has not disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.

,We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as this allows any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.
