There is provided an epilation device for removing body hair with at least one epilation unit. In particular, an epilation barrel, having a plurality of pairs of tweezers for pinching and pulling out hairs from the skin. The epilation device further has a drive unit for driving the at least one epilation barrel and a control unit. The control unit is able to analyze the force with which the user presses the epilation unit to the skin resulting in contact pressure and compares the contact pressure applied to at least one threshold contact pressure. Optionally, the epilation device further has a feedback unit which signals to the user, whether the contact pressure applied is smaller than, equal to, or larger than the at least one threshold contact pressure.

A portable tweezing device that provides an improved tweezing experience by providing a light source, and a camera for live viewing of the area being tweezed. The tweezer transmits live video from the camera to the user's phone or other wireless device thus removing the need for a mirror and external lighting to view the hair or other object being tweezed.

A hair cutting device according to the present disclosure comprises an optical waveguide. The optical waveguide comprises a light irradiator for irradiating hair protruding from a skin with light to cut the hair. At least at a time of cutting the hair, a power density of light passing through the optical waveguide is more than or equal to 50 kW/cm.sup.2. This makes it easy to efficiently cut hair with light with which the light irradiator irradiates the hair. That is, it is possible to apply sufficient light energy for cutting the hair from the optical waveguide to the hair, and it is possible to cut the hair in a relatively short time. Therefore, for example, a width increases such as a thickness or hardness of hair that can be cut.

A hair cutting member includes an optical waveguide, a connecting member, and a bonding member. The optical waveguide includes a core and a cladding that covers at least a portion of the core. The optical waveguide is disposed so as to emit light to hair growing on a skin. The connecting member retains an end of the optical waveguide. The bonding member bonds the optical waveguide and the connecting member to each other. The core is disposed off-center toward the outer circumference of the cladding. When viewed from an end face of the connecting member, a first distance between a center of the end face and an optical axis of the core is shorter than a second distance between the center of the end face and a center of the cladding. The technology of the present disclosure makes it possible to adjust the optical system of a hair cutting device easily.

This disclosure is concerned with a personal care device with a treatment head being pivot-mounted around a pivot axis, the personal care device having a pin having a pin head, a cam element having a cam surface, a spring element biasing the pin head and the cam surface against each other, wherein the cam surface is shaped such that it defines a rest position at which the biasing spring force provided by the spring element with which the pin head and the cam surface are pushed against each other has a non-zero minimum value, and wherein a pivoting of the head around the pivot axis causes the pin head to move along the cam surface and the cam surface is further shaped such that the spring force pushing the pin head and the cam surface against each other increases with increasing pivoting angle.

A skin treatment system (1) such as a depilating system comprises a functional member (20) that is configured to perform a treatment action on skin (2) and to be moved over the skin (2) during operation of the system (1), and a measurement unit (40) including a measurement member (41) that is configured to also be moved over the skin (2) during operation of the functional member (20) and to contact the skin (2) in the process. The measurement unit (40) is configured to measure at least a force value in an advancing direction in which the measurement member (41) is moved over the skin (2) during operation of the functional member (20). The measured force value in the advancing direction is used for the purpose of determining a friction coefficient value representative of the friction coefficient of the skin (2), which allows for assessing skin condition.

The present invention relates in general to a hand-held hair removal article. More specifically, the invention relates to a shaped flexible article adapted to scoop a hair removal compound, apply the hair removal compound to a hair removal area, and remove the hair removal compound and hair from the hair removal area.

A depilatory wax applying device includes: a housing provided with a feed port and a discharge port; a conveying channel provided in the housing, the conveying channel including a guiding tube, a heat insulation tube, and a heating tube that are connected successively, the guiding tube corresponding to the feed port, and the heating tube corresponding to the discharge port; a wax strip pushing device provided between the feed port and the guiding tube and configured to push a wax strip into the guiding tube; and a control device provided in the housing and electrically connected to the heating tube and the wax strip pushing device.

The present disclosure is concerned with an attachment for an epilator or an epilator having an axle arranged for driven movement around a center axle axis, an end plate arranged at a first end of the axle for rotation together with the axle, the end plate having at least a first functional surface, a first clamping element having a functional surface, the first functional surface of the end plate being arranged face-to-face with the functional surface of the first clamping element, and the first clamping element being arranged for repeatedly being moved towards and away from the end plate such that repeatedly a closed position is obtained in which the two functional surfaces abut on each other, wherein the end plate is an outer part of the epilator or the attachment for an epilator.

A hair pulling device includes a machine body which is provided with a hair clamping support (1) and a driving device. A fixation shaft (3) which is fixed and non-rotary as well as a plurality of positioning frames (2) which are driven by the driving device to rotate around the fixation shaft (3) are disposed on the hair clamping support (1); a plurality of groups of hair clamping assembly units which are rotated with the positioning frames (2) are disposed, along an axial direction of the fixation shaft (3), on the positioning frames (2); the fixation shaft (3) is fixedly sleeved by a positioning shaft (4); The hair pulling device has high hair clamping efficiency and reliable and stable clamping force, and avoids the problems that hair pulling fails due to failure of an elastic part or hair pulling fails due to insufficient clamping force.
