Abstract (en)

An epilation device (100) is proposed that has a housing (101), a roll-like epilation implement (10) mounted at the housing (101), which epilation implement (10) has clamping units (11) for successively clamping and plucking hairs, and the epilation device (100) has further a powered motor (30) operatively coupled to the epilation implement (10), and a motor control (20, 21, 22). The proposed epilation device (100) is arranged to have at least a fast operation mode in which the motor (30) is controlled by the motor control (20, 21, 22) such that the clamping units (11) move with a circumferential speed of more than 2.5 meters per second relative to the housing (101). This serves to e.g. achieve a gap-less clamping and plucking in a use direction (U) even if the epilation device (100) is drawn over the skin with a relatively high speed.
