Abstract

A device (10) for applying vibrations to hair rooted in a body, includes: a pair of tongs (11,12) having hair-gripping ends (11a, 12a) capable of being driven into high-frequency vibrations with respect to each other; and a transducer (13) coupled to at least one of the tongs for converting an AC voltage to mechanical vibrations for driving the hair-gripping end into vibrations with respect to generate sufficient heat within the body to facilitate removal of the unwanted hair. The transducer is preferably a piezoelectric element which vibrates the hair at a frequency of 100-500 KHz, preferably 100-350 KHz, and produces a displacement of 5-20 microns.
