Abstract

A hair growth modulation device is configured to impart a suitable quantity of irradiated light to a target site while lowering the irradiation intensity required by a light irradiator that generates modulating light for modulating hair growth. This device is provided with a hair follicle approximating means that causes hair follicles of body hairs at the target site to approach the skin surface, thereby enhancing the irradiation efficiency of modulating light irradiated to the hair follicles.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

1 . A hair growth modulation device comprising:
 a light irradiator configured to continuously irradiate a modulating light having energy not causing changes in cell morphology in a short period for modulating hair growth to a target site of a human body;   a hair follicle approximating means configured to approximate hair follicles of body hairs at the target site towards said light irradiator when said modulating light is irradiate&amp;   wherein said hair follicle approximating means is a mechanical epilating means for epilating the body hairs, and   wherein said mechanical epilating means is provided with a head having pinching claws for pinching the target site.   
     
     
         2 - 5 . (canceled)
