What method of hair removal uses a rotating head to pull hair from the follicle?

The method of hair removal that uses a rotating head to pull hair from the follicle is the epilator. This device typically contains multiple tweezers or a rotating head that grips and pulls hairs directly from their roots during the hair removal process. This not only provides a longer-lasting result compared to shaving, which cuts hair at the skin's surface, but can also lead to finer regrowth over time as it removes hair from the follicle.

Waxing also removes hair from the root, but it does so by applying wax to the skin and quickly pulling the wax (and hair) off, rather than using a mechanical device. Shaving cuts hair at the skin's surface using a blade, which does not affect the hair follicle itself. Laser treatment targets the pigment in hair for a more permanent reduction, but it does not pull hair from the follicle like an epilator. Thus, the defining feature of an epilator is its mechanical action that directly pulls hair from the follicle, leading to longer-lasting hair removal results.
