Pivot Point Fundamentals: Esthetics – Hair Removal 109E Practice Test

Depilation describes removing hair at or near the surface of the skin and is temporary because hair often regrows quickly. This term covers methods that cut or remove hair at skin level, including shaving. Waxing and epilation remove hair from the root, so they’re not at skin level and have longer regrowth. Shaving is a common way to depilate, but the general term that fits “temporary hair removal near or at skin level” is depilation.
