Side effects of epilating pubic hair 

1. Pain

The epilator snatches hair from the root so it hurts as much as waxing does, sometimes even more.

2. Skin Irritation 

Skin Irritation is also very common with an epilator. When hair comes out from the root, the hair follicle becomes empty and germs take over it. So always exfoliate your skin.

3. Skin damage

If you have shaved or used depilatory creams frequently before the epilator hair follicle becomes too strong and when you pull hair out it won’t come easily and sometimes damage the skin.

4. Ingrown hair.

Ingrown hair happens when hair grows under the skin. After epilation sometimes hair follicles are filled with blood which clogs the follicle and hair grows under the skin which is quite painful. Use a skin exfoliator to prevent ingrown hair. 

Any hair removal method can cause ingrown hair but it is more common with an epilator.

5. Some time skin infection

Dirty skin and empty hair follicles can be invaded by bacteria and can cause skin infection which is a potential danger of epilators.
