Power levels

The number of power settings provided by the laser epilator or photoepilator (see "Type").

The emitted light flashes from the epilator need to strike a balance between intensity and skin safety. Different situations necessitate varying levels of light intensity. For instance, addressing dark hair on light skin requires relatively lower power, while lighter hair demands a more intense approach. Sensitive or problematic skin might call for reduced intensity. The greater the power options in the device, the finer the adjustments possible for specific scenarios. Advanced models can offer as many as 5 to 6 options.

UV filter

A filter incorporated into the flashes of the photoepilator lamp to block ultraviolet radiation. Excessive exposure to this radiation can be detrimental to the skin and heightens the risk of burns.

Usage for face

The possibility of using a photoepilator to remove facial hair. The facial areas have their own characteristics (for example, the skin is usually lighter) and require a separate mode of operation, which is provided in photoepilators with this function.

Box / case

The presence of a case or cover in the epilator package. A case is usually called a solid container, but cases are made of soft materials. Anyway, such devices make it easier to store and transport the device: they protect it from unwanted contact with surrounding objects, and you can usually store various accessories inside. Models in this configuration will be useful primarily to those who have to travel a lot.
