HAARENTFERNUNGSVORRICHTUNG

An epilation device (100) is proposed that has at least an epilation element (10, 10', 10") that has a skin side (S) intended for contacting the skin in an operation state of the epilation device, a support (30, 31, 32, 33) in which the epilation element (10) is mounted, and an actuation arrangement (20, 21, 50, 51, 50', 51', 18.1, 18.2, 18.1',18.2'; 60, 61, 62, 69) that during operation of the epilation device (100) repeatedly actuates the epilation element (10) between a first bending state in which the skin side (S) has a first curvature and a second bending state in which the skin side (S) has a second curvature different to the first curvature, wherein the epilation element (10) has at least two adjoining clamping elements (11.1, 11.2) that each have a clamping surface (16.1, 16.2), which clamping surfaces (16.1, 16.2) are separated by a gap (14.1) at the skin side (S) in the first bending stage and are in clamping contact in the second bending stage.
