What is epilation?

Epilation refers to the process of removing hair from the root or the bottom of the follicle. This technique effectively eliminates hair more permanently compared to other methods that only cut or break the hair at the skin level. By targeting the hair follicle, epilation disrupts the growth cycle and can lead to slower regrowth or less dense hair over time, depending on the individual and the frequency of the epilation process.

Other methods of hair removal, such as depilation, simply cut the hair at the skin surface, which means the hair can quickly regrow. Options that mention hair prevention or softening do not accurately describe the nature of epilation. Therefore, identifying epilation as the removal of hair from the follicle highlights its effectiveness and underlying mechanism, making it a key concept in hair removal practices.
