But over time, he began to actively expand his production and today this company is a leader in the production of medical equipment, household appliances and personal care devices. A considerable share in this assortment is occupied by epilators intended for home use.
But the products of this brand, however, like any other, has its pros and cons.

- Not all devices, including epilators, can be subjected to wet cleaning.
- Some epilator models cannot be used for a wet hair removal procedure.
- Speaking directly about epilators, even the presence of such functions as cooling of the epidermis and its massage does not guarantee complete painlessness of the procedure.

But despite this, some models of Philips epilators are still in high demand.

How to use?
Not only the quality of the epilation itself, but also the durability of the epilator depend on how well the device is operated. Proper use of the device begins with preparing for the procedure itself:
- If an HP 6515 “Ice Premium” epilator is used, then a few hours before its use it is necessary to pour water into the special nozzle compartment and put it in the refrigerator. This will help reduce pain during the procedure.
- If the device is powered by batteries or a battery, you need to make sure that there is enough charge to complete the procedure.
- For a couple of days before hair removal, it is necessary to thoroughly steam the skin and use a good scrub or peeling. This will remove dead skin particles and help the hairs rise above the surface of the epithelium.
- The day before the procedure, you must abandon the use of any oils and body creams. The effect in this case may be zero from epilation, and the device itself will suffer and may fail.
- Carry out the procedure better in the bathroom. If the device cannot be used for a wet version of the procedure, it should be used immediately after a hot bath.
Now about the very use of the epilator. First of all, you should choose a nozzle that is optimal for the treated area. Not only the quality of the procedure itself, but also the presence or absence of unpleasant sensations during the procedure will depend on its correct choice.
Skin should not be too tight, it will not enhance the effectiveness of the device. When epilating arms or legs, the epilator must be held in relation to the epidermis either vertically or at a slight angle. The device on the arms and legs should move from the bottom up, in the armpits in a similar way or in a circle.
It is necessary to remove too thick and hard hairs as slowly as possible and at the lowest speed. Otherwise, the hairs will break off, and the quality of epilation, respectively, will decrease.
Epilation of a bikini zone is considered the most painful and long. Therefore, it is necessary to dwell on it in more detail:
- Epilation of this part of the body can only be done in a wet way or using special anesthetic gels and sprays.
- The procedure can be carried out only using special rotating heads with nozzles for this part of the body.
- Movement should be smooth, and the speed of the device is the lowest.
- The skin should be slightly stretched with your fingertips for the quickest execution of the procedure and its better quality.
- The device is strictly upright.
- The epilator must be moved along the surface of the epidermis from the bottom up, that is, against the growth of hairs.
- After the procedure, it is necessary to treat the skin with a special agent, for example, “Baneocin” ointment.
Following these simple guidelines will allow you to turn epilation into a quick, effective and painless procedure.
But it is worth remembering that the instructions for each model of the device contains additional information on its proper operation. Therefore, before using the device with it, it is necessary to become familiar with it.
Care
To extend the life of the device and maintain the quality of its use, it is necessary to properly care for it. It is quite simple to do it, the main thing is to follow the following recommendations:
- Do not forget to clean the device after each use.This can be done with a hard brush that is attached to each epilator or by washing the removable parts under running water.
- After washing the device must be dried in the open air.
- It should be understood that it is impossible to completely clean out all the hairs. Therefore, it makes sense to disassemble the epilator completely once a year and clean the hairs that have stuck into it with a brush.
- Keep the device, even if it is moisture-proof, it is better still in a dry room in the absence of high humidity or air temperature.
- The manufacturer recommends storing the epilator either in the original box or in a special case attached to it.
- Some Philips epilator parts must be replaced. This applies to batteries, batteries and attachments. Even if these parts work, in your opinion, regularly, the manufacturer recommends replacing them with original parts at least once a year and a half.
- It is necessary to lubricate these devices with special oil at least once a month.

- The epilator staffing is another one of the main selection criteria. It should be understood that the more additional parts and accessories included in the set, the higher the cost of the epilator itself. It all depends on what kind of purposes and parts of the body is purchased unit. If you plan to use it as an alternative to a conventional machine, then you need to make sure that the kit includes a razor mesh.

Such epilators can significantly reduce discomfort during the procedure.
- The cost of the epilator. It is clear that the more modern and complete the model of this device is, the more expensive it will be. But sometimes devices with similar components have different prices. Therefore, determine for yourself the price range within which your epilator should cost.
