Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2803754A1] This invention provides both a method and an apparatus for hair removal using thread. Using the concept of rotational motion, this method improves upon the ancient art of threading by using a rotational mechanism that allows for threading with only one manipulation point instead of the conventional tour manipulation points as well as one or more threads to be used as a guide lo help identity and/or isolate hair to be removed. With these enhancements, a self- threading apparatus is invented that is more precise and less unwieldy than existing sclf- threading apparatuses. It minimizes the amount of manual labour and skills required in such a way that a person not skilled in the art can easily use this apparatus to thread with precision.
