For epilation to be effective, treated hairs should be long enough for the device to grasp. The long-term effects of epilation on the hair follicle are not known, and whether this practice may result in long-term reduction of hair regrowth is unclear. Because epilation wounds the hair follicle, repetitive epilation may result in permanent matrix damage, resulting in finer or thinner hairs.
