Photoepilation is a new phenomenon for many women. To spend your money wisely, we recommend that you carefully study the rating of the best photoepilators of 2020, which is based on the opinions and reviews of buyers. We will also provide criteria for choosing the best for home procedures.
How to choose the right photoepilator?
Despite the fact that photoepilators have appeared on sale relatively recently, the selection on store shelves is quite large. How not to be mistaken and buy a really effective and high-quality device. What to look at? The criteria can be as follows:
- Maximum number of flashes (resource). The higher this indicator is, the better. Indeed, the service life of the device directly depends on it. With a small number of flashes, one of the conditions is the possibility of replacing the lamp. Otherwise, over time, the best device will become just a useless piece of plastic.
- Covered area... This indicator should also be as large as possible. Otherwise, you will have to "pass" the same place several times, mediocre spending those same flashes. What is the optimal indicator? The bigger, the better. But certainly not less than 3-4 cm2.
- Nutrition... Good models are able to work for a long time without additional charging. Also, you can purchase a device that works on the network. But using it is not always convenient.
- Pulse power... What are the best metrics to choose here? According to experts, 5 J / cm2 are considered quite safe. Let's dwell on them.
- Safety... The best photoepilators necessarily have several levels of protection: from children, from accidental pressing, blocking the ability to direct the beam into the eyes.
In addition, several more criteria should be taken into account:
- user reviews;
- the material from which the model is made;
- convenience and ease of use;
- ergonomics (how the device "lies" in the hand);
- design;
- the ability to use for different types of hair and skin tones;
- lack of irritation, discomfort, allergic reactions;
- the ability to use in the desired area;
- the duration of the result;
- build quality;
- cost.
Now let's figure out which photoepilator to buy, based on the rating of the best models of 2019. When compiling the rating, we tried to take into account all these factors, but most of all we were guided by consumer reviews and expert opinion. Having carefully studied our TOP-10, you will definitely find for yourself the best photoepilator that is right for you.

You pay extra for a variety of technologies, degrees of protection, ease of use. According to technical characteristics, it has less power. I think it is irrational to pay extra: the model does not meet the ratio of quality and price.

Comparing with Philips BRI863 Lumea Essential from the same price segment, we note similar technical characteristics, but BaByliss G935E has more advantages (mode for sensitive skin, the ability to work on dark). Good value for money, quality, functionality.

Buyers recommend 97% of this product. The model copes well with the specified functions, the procedure does not cause pain. But it is more expensive than SmoothSkin Bare IPL. By paying extra, you will receive equipment with a unique innovative technology and will be able to save energy. Braun IPL BD 3001 is slightly more expensive, has similar characteristics, but has less power. I recommend that you draw your attention to this gadget.

The Remington IPL 6780 is an expensive device. The price is due to the number of flashes, high power and new technology. Multi-stage protection. I think this is a good offer - a high price for a variety of features. The option under consideration is cheaper than the Philips BRI956 Lumea Prestige, but I think it is irrational to pay extra 5 thousand rubles for almost the same functions.
Philips BRI956 Lumea Prestige
The photoepilator is equipped with professional Intense Pulsed Light technology, developed in cooperation with dermatologists. Resource - 250 thousand flashes. 5 modes of intensity. Stamp and Flash modes. Intelligent attachments vary the intensity of work based on body zones. Facial attachment with additional spot filter. There are attachments for the body, armpits, bikini.

- the presence of different attachments;

- convenient shape of attachments for different parts of the body.
Disadvantages:
- high price;
- charging ends quickly;
- painful sensations are possible.
The photoepilator is the most expensive in the ranking. An excellent device with a beautiful design, but I believe that you can pick up a device with similar technical characteristics, but for less money. For example, Philips Lumea sc1995 or Philips Lumea Prestige bri950.
