Abstract
There is provided an epilation device for removing body hair with at least one epilation unit. In particular, an epilation barrel, having a plurality of pairs of tweezers for pinching and pulling out hairs from the skin. The epilation device further has a drive unit for driving the at least one epilation barrel and a control unit. The control unit is able to analyze the force with which the user presses the epilation unit to the skin resulting in contact pressure and compares the contact pressure applied to at least one threshold contact pressure. Optionally, the epilation device further has a feedback unit which signals to the user, whether the contact pressure applied is smaller than, equal to, or larger than the at least one threshold contact pressure.
