Which is better waxing or using epilator?

The main difference between epilation and waxing is that you need to wait longer between waxing sessions than you do between the times when you epilate, as the hair needs to grow to a longer length before it can be pulled out effectively with wax. Unlike waxing, the epilator protects surface-level skin cells.
