  • the invention relates to a device for plucking the hair, in particular hair of the human skin, with a hand-held housing for receiving a motor for driving a clamping device provided in a plucking head of the device for grasping and plucking the hair, the clamping device being used the skin to be treated is feasible.
  • a general problem with these devices is to increase the effectiveness in plucking the hair and to reduce the pain sensation of the user when removing the hair.
  • the present invention is based on the object of further developing a device for plucking the hair in such a way that the sensation of pain is reduced as much as possible during use of the devices.
  • the device has at least two electrically conductive parts, in particular electrodes or the like, which can be brought into contact with the skin together with the clamping device for plucking the hair, the device a generator for stimulation current , in particular a pulse generator or the like, is assigned and the outputs of the generator are connected to the electrically conductive parts.
  • the invention accordingly makes use of nerve stimulation by the action of stimulation current, in particular current impulses, on the skin in order to alleviate or even relieve pain by using the device for plucking the hair by stimulating or stimulating the underlying nerve structures to reach.
  • stimulation current in particular current impulses
  • the electrically conductive parts are in contact with the skin together with the clamping device, current pulses being applied to the skin to be treated via the electrically conductive parts by means of a pulse generator or the like. These current pulses ensure that the body's own pain-inhibiting systems in the human organism are electrically activated and consequently the transmission of pain pulses generated by plucking the hair is blocked.
  • the effect of the stimulus current on the skin leads to a perceptible increase in pain threshold, which is achieved by the release of endogenous morphine-like substances (endorphins).

  • the stimulation current must in any case be set so low by the user that muscle contractions cannot be triggered. As practical tests have shown, plucking the hair with a stimulation current acting simultaneously on the skin leads to a clearly perceptible reduction in the sensation of pain when plucking the hair.
