In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method () is described. The method comprises identifying () a specified facial gesture from imaging data of a user. The method further comprises determining () whether the specified facial gesture is indicative of a specified zoom level to be used for displaying the user's face. In response to determining that the specified zoom level is to be used instead of a previously-determined zoom level used for displaying the user's face, a display showing a video feed of the user's face is caused to change a displayed size of at least a portion of the user's face on the video feed based on a difference between the specified zoom level and the previously-determined zoom level.

A unit of a body care device, operating a skin treatment head coupled to or integrated with the unit, includes a first connector element detachably coupling to a second connector element of a housing of the body care device to provide functional coupling of the housing and the unit; a chamber with a chamber volume for hosting a material, the chamber including a first chamber opening with a check valve; a mechanical actuator configured to transfer a force on the skin treatment head in a direction of the first connector element onto the material to expel at least part of the material via the at least one first chamber opening out of the chamber; a channel system for providing a fluid connection between the chamber and the at least one first chamber opening; and a first valve for controlling the fluid connection between the chamber and the first chamber opening.

A massaging device () with a massaging surface and a plurality of massaging elements () moveable relative to each other; characterized in that the massaging surface is adapted such that when applying the massaging surface to a skin surface () and moving the massaging elements () relative to each other, two differently directed forces are simultaneously exercised by the massaging elements () on the skin surface () thereby causing simultaneous pinching and stretching of the skin surface () present in between the massaging elements ().

Massaging device

A personal care device has a main functional unit and an ancillary functional unit which is displaced between a non-operational position and an operational position using a biasing arrangement. A magnet arrangement is used to exert a magnetic holding on the ancillary functional unit in the operational position. This provides a stable support of the ancillary functional unit in the operational position without requiring a strong biasing arrangement.

A device for measuring hair properties has a first part (I) and a second part (II) between which hair (H) is guided. The first part includes a measuring probe (MP), and the second part is arranged for deforming the hair against the measuring probe. While the device moves along the hair, the measuring probe experiences both a friction force resulting from the hair being guided along the measuring probe, and a deformation force resulting from hair deformation by the second part against the measuring probe. The second part includes a pressure element (PB, S) for pressing the hair against the measuring probe. In alternative embodiments, the second part comprises alignment elements (AE) at opposite sides of the measuring probe, and guidance elements (G) for mitigating an influence of an angle at which the device is applied to the hair to the friction force and/or the deformation force.

Device for measuring hair properties

The invention relates to a skin treatment device comprising a housing () with a handle section (), a disc-shaped skin treatment element (), a drive mechanism incorporated in said housing and coupled to said skin treatment element for driving said skin treatment element into rotational movement about a rotational axis, wherein said skin treatment element has a first skin treatment surface () and a second skin treatment surface (), said first skin treatment surface () being oriented axially with respect to said rotational axis, said second skin treatment surface () being oriented radially with respect to said rotational axis and extending along a circumference of the skin treatment element.

The present invention relates to hair removal, and in particular to a handheld hair removal apparatus. In order to reduce pain during hair removal, the handheld hair removal apparatus comprises a hair removal arrangement, a support structure and a skin stretching device attached to the support structure and comprising at least two leading surface portions for skin contacting and stretching. The apparatus has a main movement direction in which the apparatus is to be moved relative to skin during use. The hair removal arrangement comprises a skin contact portion for contacting a user's skin during operation, wherein the skin contact portion extends at least along a primary axis extending perpendicularly to the main movement direction During operation, the skin stretching device provides a stretched skin portion between the at least two leading surface portions.
