The depilation apparatus (1) comprises a depilation head (3), a drive unit (11), and a chamber (12) adapted to accommodate the cartridge (2). The cartridge (2comprises a reservoir (21) for holding a substance, a discharge channel (22), and a pump (23). The chamber extends between the depilation head and the drive unit. The depilation head is movable with respect to the depilation apparatus in such a manner that the chamber is accessible. In order to enable the pump to be actuated, the depilation apparatus comprises an actuator which extends into the chamber. A mechanism couples the actuator to a button at the exterior of the depilation apparatus (1) in such a manner that the actuator (13) can be driven by moving the button (15).
