Abstract: Multiple hair removal system includes a conductive layer including a conductive material. The conductive material functions to provide electromagnetic energy from a source to hairs to be treated that extend up into and/or through the conductive layer and contact the conductive material. A method of removing multiple hairs and inhibiting future hair growth includes applying a conductive layer, applying electromagnetic energy 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.
Abstract: A pair of insulated, clamping electrode electrical power output tweezers for hair removal, comprising a pair of normally closed, spaced opposed, conductive arms; a conductive tip disposed adjacent a free end of one of the pair of conductive arms; a non-conductive material substantially enclosing each one of the pair of arms; the non-conductive material defining a power transmission area disposed adjacent to and spaced from the free ends; and the power transmission area being substantially free of the non-conductive material and being sufficiently large for contacting hairs.

Abstract: Multiple hair removal system includes an adhesive layer, a structural layer disposed adjacent the adhesive layer, and a conductive material. The conductive material functions to provide power from a power source to hairs to be treated that extend up through the adhesive layer and contact the conductive material. A method of removing multiple hairs and inhibiting future hair growth includes the steps of applying a conductive solution to the skin, pressing on an adhesive layer, 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.
