Abstract
An epilator having a body and a plucking cylinder which is rotatable about a rotation axis for plucking hair. The plucking cylinder is movable with respect to the body between an extended position and a retracted position. Further, the epilator has elastically deformable elements biasing the plucking cylinder and at least two rollers mounted on the same side of the body as the plucking cylinder with the plucking cylinder interposed between the rollers. When pressing the rollers and the plucking cylinder to a flat surface the force exerted by the rollers exceeds the force exerted by the plucking cylinder.
