For the application of said wax band, a heating device is used which is comprised of two bodies (5 and 6), hinged to each other. The body (5) houses a heating plate (12) provided with an electric resistance and a plate (14) on which are placed the wax bands to be heated. This invention applies to the fabrication of products and apparatuses intended to the aesthetics of the human body and more particularly to depilation.
