Do mechanical epilators cause widening of the follicular orifice with time?

Been using a rotatory epilator on my underarms for years (high pain tolerance) and it’s the one that works best for me. Shaving gave me razor burn and once a cyst…waxing gave me ingrowns and also a tiny cyst on the other arm.

Anyway epilating worked like a charm but I am starting to notice that at some places of my underarm that my follicles are slightly widened and may have a very fine hair growing out of it or are completely hairless

Is this normal?
