Methods, Devices and systems for hair removal combine the application of RF electromagnetic energy to the skin with application of heat from heating element(s) to hair(s) of the skin. The devices or systems may include RF electrodes and one or more heating elements. RF energy from an RF generating unit is applied to the RF electrodes. Heat is applied to hair shafts by the heating element(s). The devices and systems may be hand held or may include a hand held part connected to a base unit. In operation, the hand held device or part is moved along the treated skin region. The combined effect of RF energy application to the skin and heating of the hair shaft results in improved hair removal and may reduce hair re-growth. Safety improving features may include preventing skin damage by reducing sparking or excessive skin heating.

L'invention concerne des procédés, des dispositifs et des systèmes d'épilation qui combinent l'application d'énergie électromagnétique RF sur la peau et l'application de chaleur provenant d'un ou de plusieurs éléments chauffants sur les poils de la peau. Les dispositifs ou systèmes comprennent des électrodes RF et un ou plusieurs éléments chauffants. L'énergie RF provenant d'une unité génératrice de RF est appliquée sur les électrodes RF. La chaleur est appliquée sur la tige des poils par le(s) élément(s) chauffant(s). Les dispositifs et systèmes peuvent être tenus à la main ou peuvent comprendre une partie tenue à la main reliée à une unité de base. A l'utilisation, le dispositif ou la partie à main est déplacé(e) le long de la région de peau traitée. L'effet combiné de l'application d'énergie RF sur la peau et de chauffe de la tige des poils permet d'obtenir une épilation améliorée et de réduire la recroissance des poils. L'invention comprend des caractéristiques améliorées de sécurité permettant de prévenir une chauffe excessive de la peau ou des lésions de la peau par une réduction de la formation d'étincelles.
