ABSTRACT:
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.
