Translations

épilation

Epilation

epilation

[‚ep·ə′lā·shən] (medicine) Removal of the hair by the roots by the use of forceps, chemical means, or roentgenotherapy.

Epilation

the removal of hair for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes. Epilation is used, frequently in conjunction with other methods, to treat certain skin and hair diseases, including tricho-phytosis, microsporosis, and favus. The hair may be removed by special forceps, chemical agents (such as epilating wax), or roentgenotherapy. Electrolysis produces the most long-lasting effect, however, because the needle electrode destroys the hair bulbs, thus causing the hair to stop growing; with all the other methods of epilation, the hair grows back.
