Abstract: The electronic vision system for assisting a skin care professional during treatment generally has: a support structure; a monitor being mounted to the support structure and having a sagittal plane; a video camera mounted to the support structure via an articulation, a field of view extending along an optical axis and a sagittal axis, the articulation having at least one pivot joint allowing pivoting movement of the optical axis relative to the monitor and preventing rotation of the video camera relative to the monitor and maintaining the parallelism of the sagittal axis of the video camera and the sagittal plane of the monitor; and a signal connection between the video camera and the monitor allowing the monitor to display a real-time video.

Abstract: There is described a method of epilation using an insulated probe connected to an epilator apparatus supplying multiple pulses of energy that created concentrated heat at the probe tip. The steps of the method comprise inserting the probe tip into the hair follicle; positioning the probe tip at a position corresponding to either the bulb or the bulge; activating the apparatus to generate heat at the probe tip using predefined settings; and displacing the probe tip from the position to the other of the bulb and the bulge with continuous generation of heat using the multiple pulses of energy at the probe tip.
