Method and apparatus for permanent removal of multiple hairs with hair clamping springs

Details

Inventors: Mehl, Sr., Thomas L.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Yu; Mickey
Assistant Examiner: Yu; Justine R.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Shlesinger, Arkwright & Garvey LLP

A method of removing multiple hairs and inhibiting future hair growth includes the steps of applying a conductive solution to the hair, applying power for a period of time sufficient to destroy the matrix area of the hair, and allowing the treated hair to either be removed immediately or to stay in the skin for a period of time sufficient for the chemical reaction induced at the matrix area to continue long enough to destroy the matrix area and prevent regrowth of the hair. The hair removal is accomplished by use of a spring having at least two coils which are movable into engagement with each other. The two coils are configured for engaging and grasping hairs. When the coils clamp an engaged hair, and then moved relative to the skin, the hair is removed thereby. A device particularly suited for carrying out the invention includes coils which can be moved away from and toward each other for engaging hairs to be removed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a multiple hair removal method and apparatus for carrying out the method that are simpler to perform and to use than the known methods and apparatus.
It is another object of the invention to provide a hair removal method, system, and apparatus suited for removing multiple hairs at one time.
It is a further object of the invention to remove multiple hairs easier and faster without stress and infection.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for permanent hair removal and impairment of hair regrowth.
It is an additional object of the invention to provide a hair removal system which has few or no moving parts.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a hair removal system which is simple and which can be used by lay people.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a method for permanent hair removal that uses an alkaline solution for pretreating the hair in order to more effectively increase the conductivity of hair than is possible with known neutral or acid-based systems.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a method of permanent hair removal by which an alkaline solution is applied to the hair to be removed for opening the cuticle and cortex layers for causing an electric power source to penetrate the hair easier and faster.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a method of multiple hair removal by which all treated hairs slide out of their respective treated follicles with substantially no resistance.
It is another object of the invention to provide a permanent multiple hair removal method and apparatus which can be used by both professionals and non-professionals.
It is a yet still further object of the invention to provide a permanent hair removal method and apparatus which make hair removal painless.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a permanent multiple hair removal system which shortens the time required for permanent hair removal
