The disclosed principles provide an improved waxing system, apparatus, and related waxing methods, having a mechanical reaching attachment to be attached thereto, and thus provide additional reach and leverage for removing the waxing strip. In one embodiment, a waxing system comprises at least one waxing strip each comprising at least one waxing side and at least one attachment area located proximate an attachment end of each waxing strip. The at least one waxing side may be configured to receive waxing material thereon to remove body hair. The waxing system may also comprise at least one attachment device located in a corresponding at least one attachment area. In addition, the waxing system may comprise at least one removal device coupled to a corresponding at least one attachment device and configured for grasping by a user to remove the at least one waxing strip from a body during hair removal.

A heating device for heating wax includes an electronically operated first heat source that can be supplied with electrical energy by an electrical energy supply unit. In order to constructively simplify the processing, handling and use of wax for body hair removal, it may be provided that the heating device has a depositing surface on which at least one flexible fabric strip can be deposited directly or indirectly and which can be heated by means of the heat source, the fabric strip having a wax layer and the heating device being designed for this purpose, to heat the fabric strip with the wax layer up to a setpoint temperature, the setpoint temperature being adjustable by a user, and the heating device being configured to provide corresponding output signals in a time-controlled manner by means of output indicators as soon as the wax is in a viscous state.

A hair removal device using, or for use in combination with, a wax-strip configured to remove hair from skin. The device includes: a user holding member including a housing or chassis having a wax-strip removal mechanism actuator, the housing having a bottom surface configured for engaging with the skin; a wax-strip engagement mechanism for removable engagement with the wax-strip; a wax-strip removal mechanism including a wax-strip removal acceleration arrangement; and a wax-strip pressing mechanism. The wax-strip pressing mechanism presses the wax-strip to the user's skin by way of a pressing member and also distances the pressing member from the skin during operation of the device, to help mitigate shear and/or rubbing on the skin.

An epilatory device incorporating a flat elongate body having an adhesive paste medium applied to a first side of the body, wherein the ratio of the length of the flat elongate body to the length of the adhesive paste is from 1.25:1 to 1.15:1 and/or the ratio of the area of the flat elongate body to the area of the adhesive paste is from 1.87:1 to 1.65:1. The adhesive paste medium is a cold epilatory wax. It provides efficacious hair removal without leaving significant wax residue on a user's skin.

A skin treatment device having a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, and an adhesive layer covering at least a portion of the first surface of the substrate. When the adhesive layer is applied to the skin surface of a mammal and removed, hair is removed at the follicle. A skin treatment method is also disclosed.

A template for forming a contour on an eyebrow, having a hair-removing means, having a flat, flexible support, which has a support edge that follows the lower contour curve to be formed for the eyebrow and a hair-removing region adjoining this support edge, which is coated with a hair-removing means, and having an optical positioning aid provided on at least one lateral half of the template for positioning the template relative to the eyebrow. For a simple use of the template with reproducible results, it has a positioning aid on each of the two halves.

The present invention is directed to a device comprising a fabric substrate layer having a dividing line horizontal to the length of the fabric substrate layer that divides a first part coated with a skin-safe adhesive layer on one side and a second part that is not covered by the skin-safe adhesive layer; and methods of application therefrom.
