A depilation device for tweezing hairs (280, 282, 284) of a selected area of a skin surface, comprising: a motor; a tweezing element formed with at least two tweezing members, the tweezing element comprising a tweezing region at an end portion thereof proximal to the skin surface, the tweezing region defining a region on the tweezing element that is in contact with the hairs (280, 282, 284) sometime during operation of the depilation device; a transmission assembly for transmitting movement of the motor to the tweezing element; and a depilation enclosure for enclosing at least the tweezing region and comprising an opening designed to be placed on the selected area; the selected area being defined by a breadth and length, wherein the breadth is relatively narrow comprising a skin surface wherein a single or a few hairs (280, 282, 284) grow therefrom, the depilation enclosure being configured substantially without any components peripheral to the depilation device, which components would disable an operator to view, during operation of the depilation device, an area adjacent to the breadth of the selected area, wherein the adjacent area defines an area enabling sufficient visibility of the depilation enclosure for substantially accurate targeting of the selected area for depilation of the hairs (280, 282, 284) therefrom, the tweezing element moving in an elliptical path; and the tweezing element is designed to depilate the hairs (280, 282, 284) while the depilation enclosure is generally continuously in contact with the skin surface and while moving along said elliptical path, thereby allowing continuous depilation along the length of the selected area without necessitating removal of the depilation device above the skin surface. a motor; a tweezing element formed with at least two tweezing members, the tweezing element comprising a tweezing region at an end portion thereof proximal to the skin surface, the tweezing region defining a region on the tweezing element that is in contact with the hairs (280, 282, 284) sometime during operation of the depilation device; a transmission assembly for transmitting movement of the motor to the tweezing element; and a depilation enclosure for enclosing at least the tweezing region and comprising an opening designed to be placed on the selected area; the selected area being defined by a breadth and length, wherein the breadth is relatively narrow comprising a skin surface wherein a single or a few hairs (280, 282, 284) grow therefrom, the depilation enclosure being configured substantially without any components peripheral to the depilation device, which components would disable an operator to view, during operation of the depilation device, an area adjacent to the breadth of the selected area, wherein the adjacent area defines an area enabling sufficient visibility of the depilation enclosure for substantially accurate targeting of the selected area for depilation of the hairs (280, 282, 284) therefrom, the tweezing element moving in an elliptical path; and the tweezing element is designed to depilate the hairs (280, 282, 284) while the depilation enclosure is generally continuously in contact with the skin surface and while moving along said elliptical path, thereby allowing continuous depilation along the length of the selected area without necessitating removal of the depilation device above the skin surface.
