How
does it work?
All you need to do is bend the spring into an inverted 'U', then
rotate it in an inward and outward motion. The hair will catch in the
spring and be removed by the roots.
What
is it made of?
Epicare™ comprises of a spring made of specially
coated hypo-allergenic alloy and high quality plastic handles on both
ends.No batteries or electricity are required.
Is it safe and easy to use?
Epicare is very safe and easy to use. Unlike traditional threading (facial hair
removed by using a thread) where the skin can tear, Epicare merely removes the
hair and doesn't cut the skin. People with very sensitive skin may suffer a mild
degree of skin sensitivity especially when they use it for the first time. With
regular use this should subside.
Can
I use it on my entire face?
Epicare is not designed to be used on eyebrows as it may catch and
remove eyelashes. It is recommended for use on the upper lip, cheeks,
chin and side-burns.
I am
pregnant. Is it safe for me to use Epicare?
Yes. As Epicare doesn't involve any chemicals or wax or bleach, it is
perfectly safe to use during pregnancy.
Is Epicare portable?
Absolutely! Epicare is so compact it can easily slip into your handbag.
Is it painful?
Some people don't find Epicare painful at all, while others may suffer differing
degrees of discomfort. There is generally some discomfort as hair is being
pulled from the roots (similar to that experienced while undergoing other
methods of threading). The upper lip tends to be more sensitive than the chin on
most people. However with regular use, and as you become more proficient with
the device, you will feel less sensitivity.
Will the hair grow back and if
so, how soon?
Yes, the hair will grow back. How soon it does will vary from person to person.
On average hair will grow back within a week. What is so wonderful about Epicare
is that you can use it as often as you like (some people use it every day), and
you don't have to wait until the hair is long - as soon as it is slightly more
than stubble Epicare can be used.
Is
it cost effective?
Epicare is in a league of its own in this category! A trip to the
beauty parlour is a costly exercise in both time and money. Most
people find they need hair threading done fortnightly so the costs
really start to add up. Depilatory creams and waxes for home use are
also reasonably costly. An Epicare device will last for about 6 to 9
months before it may need to be replaced.
Can you get a rash from using
Epicare?
Skin sensitivity varies from person to person. Some people can develop a
rash.Using calamine lotion is an excellent way to soothe the skin after
threading.
How
do you clean Epicare?
To clean Epicare simply bend it like an inverted 'U' and shake off the
trapped hair. Wipe with a clean dry cloth or tissue. Do not wash Epicare in
water. Epicare is not waterproof and should be used on dry skin.
