Popis: A method of epilation using reverse micelles containing the proteolytic enzyme, trypsin, is described based on previous experimental findings on degenerative effects of proteolytic enzymes on hair follicles and follicle stem cells of guinea pigs and mice. The method involves rubbing of the preparation on wax epilated skin and leads to removal of hair from various skin regions, such as face, shoulders, arms and legs. The many advantages of this method renders it the method of choice for hair removal in cosmetology.
