depilate

Strip away fuzz

To depilate is to remove hair from the body, whether by shaving, waxing, plucking, or chemical means.

The word is somewhat clinical, appearing more often in product descriptions and dermatology than in casual speech: The cream depilates without irritating sensitive skin.
