Abstract
A mechanical epilator (1) for pulling hairs from the skin (P), the epilator (1) including an epilator member (6), e.g., constituted by a roller (60) made up of disks and of blades, that is rotatable about an axis (61) and that is driven by an electric motor (3), in association with a mechanical coupling member (7). The epilator further includes, or is associated with, a moistening member for moistening the skin (P). Finally, it includes a fan system (4), likewise driven by the motor (3) and serving to lower the surface temperature of the skin by the effect of forced evaporation, thereby numbing the skin. Moistening may also be achieved by spraying water onto the skin.
