Question:
What does epilation mean?
Answer:
Epilation, or to epilate, origins form Latin, and means to remove or pluck hair. Epilation is therefore a more or less permanent removal of the hair for cosmetic reasons, or in relation to illness. Epilation is often associated with the removal of hair with a hot needle. This method burns away the hairs at the root by sticking the hot needle into every hair follicle. The duration of this form of treatment is very long, and the treatment can be very painful.
