A system that applies a hair remover to human skin and the hair remover. The system includes a depilatory and an applicator. The depilatory removes hair from the human skin. The applicator applies the depilatory to the human skin. The depilatory is a combination of various all natural ingredients including bees wax, rosin, and natural plant-based oils. The applicator is a brush, rather than a wooden stick as a result of viscosity and properties of the combination of various all natural ingredients of the depilatory versus prior art depilatory waxes.

The present invention provides compositions comprising energy (e.g., light) absorbing submicron particles (e.g., nanoparticles comprising a silica core and a gold shell) and methods for delivering such particles via topical application. This delivery is facilitated by application of mechanical agitation (e.g. massage), acoustic vibration in the range of 10 Hz-20 kHz, ultrasound, alternating suction and pressure, and microjets. The method of treatment is performed and then, depending upon the desired clinical outcome, repeated after a treatment response interval has elapsed.
