This method of hair removal utilizes a device that heats wax and applies it to the skin through a roller. The heated wax adheres to the hairs, and a strip of cloth is then pressed onto the wax. A quick pull removes the strip, along with the embedded hairs, leaving the skin smooth. This technique is commonly used for larger areas like legs, arms, back, and chest.
The efficiency and relative ease of this hair removal method have contributed to its widespread popularity in salons and for at-home use. Compared to other techniques, it offers a longer-lasting result, typically keeping skin smooth for several weeks. The controlled application offered by the roller mechanism generally results in a more even spread and minimizes mess compared to traditional waxing methods. Furthermore, advancements in wax formulas and heater technology have made the process less painful and more convenient over time.
