Disclosed is a skin treatment device for personal use. The device includes an optical radiation providing module operating in pulsed or continuous operation mode, a mechanism for continuously displacing the device across the skin, and a device displacement speed monitoring arrangement. When the device is applied to skin, the optical pulses repetition rate establishes the power of the optical radiation as a function of the device displacement speed. The device a hair removal mechanism configured to mechanically remove hair from the treated segment of the skin.

1. A skin treatment device for personal use, said device comprising: a hair removal mechanism operatively configured to mechanically remove hair from the target skin segment, wherein said hair removal mechanism is at least one of a group of a shaver, an epilator, and a razor;an optical radiation providing module operating in pulsed or continuous operation mode, wherein when the radiation providing module operates in pulse mode it radiates a number of low power pulses interleaved between high power treatment pulses, configured to remove from said skin segment hair residuals left after mechanical hair removed and wherein the optical radiation providing module comprises: a source of optical radiation;a reflector configured to reflect the emitted optical radiation to the segment of the skin; anda cooling means operatively adapted to cool the source of optical radiation;characterized in that the optical radiation providing module further comprises: at least one dielectric coated protective window, wherein the at least one dielectric coated protective window is located adjacent an open longitudinal section of the reflector and forms with the reflector an air-conducting channel bound on one side by the reflector and on the other side by the dielectric coated protective window; wherein the reflector is a tubular or prismatic case configured to have openings located about the apex of the reflector and allowing air passage inside the reflector in a direction perpendicular to the source of optical radiation and air exhaust openings are located at the open butt ends of the reflector such that air directed into the air-conducting channel by the cooling means and through openings provide cooling for the source of optical radiation;wherein the cooling means are operatively configured to form an air flow in the air conducting channel by directing an air stream inside the reflector along the source and exhausting the air through the exhaust openings. 2. The skin treatment device according to claim 1, further comprising a mechanism for continuously displacing the device across the skin. 3. The skin treatment device according to claim 1, wherein the optical radiation providing module is a disposable cartridge. 4. The skin treatment device according to claim 2, wherein the optical radiation providing module is a disposable cartridge. 5. The skin treatment device according to claim 1, wherein the cooling means are one of a group consisting of a fan and a blower. 6. The skin treatment device according to claim 2, wherein the cooling means are one of a group consisting of a fan and a blower. 7. The skin treatment device according to claim 3, wherein the cooling means are one of a group consisting of a fan and a blower. 8. The skin treatment device according to claim 1, wherein the cooling means are operatively configured to form an air flow along the source of optical radiation. 9. The skin treatment device according to claim 2, wherein the cooling means are operatively configured to form an air flow along the source of optical radiation. 10. The skin treatment device according to claim 3, wherein the cooling means are operatively configured to form an air flow along the source of optical radiation. 11. The skin treatment device according to claim 1, wherein the source of optical radiation is one of a group of incandescent lamp, LED, laser diode, solid state laser, a gas laser, or a Xenon IPL lamp. 12. The skin treatment device according to claim 1, wherein the dielectric coated protective window serves as a filter and defines the spectrum of the radiation directed to the skin and the aperture through which the radiation is emitted to the skin. 13. The skin treatment device according to claim 1 further comprising a pair of electrodes operatively configured to apply RF energy to a segment of the skin. 14. The skin treatment device according to claim 1, wherein the cooling means are designed to form an air flow between two dielectric coated protective windows. 15. The skin treatment device according to claim 13, wherein said pair of electrodes is one of a group consisting of metal strips or metal coated nonconductive material and wherein the RF electrodes have an elongated body arranged along at least one side of the protective window. 16. The skin treatment device according to claim 15, wherein the RF electrodes are at least one of a group of uncoated or dielectric coated electrodes. 17. The skin treatment device according to claim 13, wherein the RF electrodes are adapted to be in contact with the skin during treatment and follow skin topography. 18. The skin treatment device according to claim 2, wherein the mechanism for continuously displacing the device across the skin is at least one of a group consisting of a DC motor with a gear, a peristaltic piezoceramic motor, or a caterpillar driven by a piezoceramic motor. 19. A method of safe skin treatment, said method comprising: applying a skin treatment device according to claim 2 to a skin segment from which hair has to be removed;removing the hair from the skin segment by means of said hair removal mechanism;applying to said skin segment optical radiation of proper power and wavelength by means of the source of optical radiation in combination with the reflector, thereby removing from said skin segment hair residuals left after mechanical hair removal;generating a stream of cooling air by a cooling element, said cooling air entering an air-conducting channel bound on one side by the reflector and on the other side by a dielectric coated window through openings, anddisplacing the device automatically from a treated skin segment to another not treated skin segment by means of the mechanism for continuously displacing the device across the skin.
