Abstract
The present subject matter provides a wax applicator configured to apply heated wax onto a skin of a patient for hair removal, the wax applicator comprising: a wax chamber having at least one opening; a heating element attached to the wax chamber, configured to heat the wax in the wax chamber, thus giving rise to melted wax; and a pushing element configured to push the melted wax out of the wax chamber through at least one of the at least one opening, wherein at least one component of the wax applicator is electrically operated, and the at least one electrically operated component is electrically connected to at least one electrical power supply. Additional embodiments of the wax applicator, and a method of applying heated wax onto a skin of a patient for hair removal with the wax applicator, are disclosed herein as well.
Claims19
A system to apply heated wax onto a skin of a patient for hair removal comprising:
- a wax applicator comprising:
- a wax chamber having at least one opening;
- a heating element attached to the wax chamber, configured to heat the wax in the wax chamber, thus giving rise to melted wax;
- a thermostat and a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the wax in the wax chamber, wherein the thermostat is electrically connected to the heating element, and the temperature sensor is signally connected to the thermostat, wherein the temperature sensor is configured to sense the temperature of the wax that is in the wax chamber and transmit a signal indicative of the sensed temperature to the thermostat, and wherein the thermostat is configured to compare between the sensed temperature and a predetermined threshold temperature and accordingly switch-on or switch-off the heating element, and
- a pushing element configured to push the melted wax out of the wax chamber through at least one of the at least one opening,
- wherein at least one component of the wax applicator is an electrically operated component, and the electrically operated component is electrically connected to an electrical power supply.
A method of applying heated wax onto a skin of a patient for hair removal, the method comprising:
- providing a wax applicator configured to apply heated wax onto a skin of a patient for hair removal, the wax applicator comprising:
- a wax chamber having at least one opening;
- a heating element attached to the wax chamber, configured to heat the wax in the wax chamber, thus giving rise to melted wax;
- and a pushing element configured to push the melted wax out of the wax chamber through at least one of the at least one opening, wherein at least one component of the wax applicator is an electrically operated component, and the electrically operated component is electrically connected to at least one electrical power supply;
- sensing a temperature of the wax in the wax chamber by a thermostat and a temperature sensor configured to sense, wherein the thermostat is electrically connected to the heating element, and the temperature sensor is signally connected to the thermostat, wherein the temperature sensor is configured to sense the temperature of the wax that is in the wax chamber and transmit a signal indicative of the sensed temperature to the thermostat, and wherein the thermostat is configured to compare between the sensed temperature and a predetermined threshold temperature and according switch-on or switch-off the heating element;
- filling the wax chamber with the wax;
- melting the wax by heating;
- and
- pushing the melted wax out from the wax chamber while applying the melted wax on the skin of the patient.
