Abstract
An epilator () comprising an epilating unit () for plucking and/or pulling hair () out of the skin () over an epilating width (E). Such an epilator is disadvantageous in that typically not all of the hairs are detected by the epilating unit () and some remain in the skin after the epilation. A subsequent epilation would then be required. In order to solve this problem, the epilator () has a hair removal unit () following the epilating unit () in the direction (B) of use, such that, in at least one operating mode, the hair removal unit () removes the hairs () that have not been pulled out by the epilating unit ().
