Abstract:
1. A depilation apparatus comprising a housing, a depilation member comprising hair-grasping elements for gripping hairs on human skin and pulling the hairs from the skin, and a vibration member for exerting mechanical vibration on to skin to thereby provide an ansesthetizing effect on the skin while the hairs are being pulled from the skin byte depilation member, both the depilation member and the vibration member provided in to housing, wherein to vibration member comprises flexible protrusions for contacting the skin which are disposed on a carrier, and wherein as seen along an axis, said axis extending no portion of the flexible protrusions is disposed between the hair-grasping elements and said skin being epilated, and the carrier is cyclically brought towards and away from the skin during operation of the depilator apparatus to thereby vibrate the flexible protrusions and thereby exert mechanical vibrations on the skin where these vibrating flexible protrusions contact the skin.
