Abstract
A laser depilator comprising a unit for removing hairs from the skin, a light source for irradiating laser light, and a lens for irradiating the skin with the laser light irradiated from the light source while deforming the beam shape so as to conform to the shape of a region of the skin from which hairs are removed by the hair removing unit. Since removal of hairs shielding the laser light and irradiation of laser light for damaging hair roots can be carried out continuously, efficiency of depilation treatment can be enhanced. Furthermore, depilation can be carried out effectively through a simple arrangement because a shaved skin surface can be irradiated with laser light over a relatively wide range using a lens.
Claims10
A laser depilator, comprising:
- a hair removing unit for removing hairs from skin, the hair removing unit comprising a tweezer head unit and a shaving head unit which are provided at the same end of the hair removing unit such that the shaving head unit can cover the tweezer head unit;
- a light source for irradiating laser light;
- and
- a lens for irradiating the skin with the irradiated laser light while deforming a shape of a beam of the laser light to conform to a shape of a region of the skin from which hairs are removed by the hair removing unit,
- wherein the lens comprises a cylindrical lens, a semicylindrical lens, or an ellipsoidal lens, so that the laser light can be irradiated through a side surface of the lens perpendicular to an axial direction of the lens to conform to the shape of the region of the skin from which the hairs are removed.
