I Epilation

Epilation tips

If you have not used an epilator before, or if you

have not epilated for a longer period of time, it may

take a short time for your skin to adapt to epilation.

The discomfort experienced in the beginning will

decrease considerably with repeated use as the

skin adapts to the process.

When epilating for the first time, it is advisable to

epilate in the evening, so that any possible red-

dening can disappear overnight. To relax the skin

we recommend applying a moisturizing cream

after epilation.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when

the hair is between 0.5–5 mm long. If hairs are

longer, we recommend that you shave first and

let the hair grow back to at least 0.5 mm length.

Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from

grease or cream.

Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist in

order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for

the appliance.

How to epilate

Make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and

provided with a cap (1a or 1b).

A Select speed «I» for gentle epilation, speed «II»

for efficient epilation.

B Always stretch your skin when epilating. Make

sure that the epilation area is in close contact

with your skin.

Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous

movement without pressure against the hair

growth, in the direction of the switch. As hair

can grow in different directions, it may also

be helpful to guide the appliance in different

directions to achieve optimal results. The mas-

sage cap (1a) ensures best skin comfort

during epilation. If you are used to the sensa-

tion of epilation, you may replace the massage

cap with the skin contact cap (1b) which provi-

des a closer skin contact and an improved

adaptation to all body areas.

C Leg epilation

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an

upward direction. When epilating behind the

knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.

D Underarm and bikini line epilation

In sensitive areas, we recommend using the

skin contact cap (1b). Especially during the first

applications these areas are particularly sensitive

to pain. Therefore, we recommend that you

select speed «I» for the first few times.

With repeated usage the pain sensation will

diminish.

Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective

area to remove residues (like deodorant). Then

carefully dab dry with a towel. When epilating

the underarm, keep your arm raised up so that

the skin is stretched and guide the appliance

in different directions. As skin may be more

sensitive directly after epilation, avoid using

irritating substances such as deodorants with

alcohol.

E Facial epilation

For removing any unwanted hair from the face

or other sensitive areas, use the facial cap (8)

as an optional attachment to be placed on the

epilation head (2). For the first few usages, we

recommend that you select speed «I» in order

to get used to epilation in sensitive areas.

Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning the

skin thoroughly with a disinfecting toner con-

taining alcohol. When epilating the face, stretch

the skin with one hand and slowly guide the

epilator with your other hand in the direction of

the switch.

F Cleaning the epilation head

1 Cleaning with the cleaning brush (11):

Remove the cap and brush it out. Thoroughly

clean the tweezers from the rear side of the

epilator head with the brush dipped into alcohol.

While doing so, turn the tweezer element

manually. This cleaning method ensures best

hygienic conditions for the epilation head.

2 Cleaning under running water:

After each wet usage, clean the appliance

under running water. Remove the cap and hold

the appliance with the epilation head under hot

running water. Then press the release button

(6) to remove the epilation head. Shake the ap-

pliance and the epilation head to remove excess

water and leave both parts to thoroughly dry

out before re-assembling.

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal from the root can lead

to irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort and reddening

of the skin) depending on the condition of the

skin and hair. This is a normal reaction and should

quickly disappear, but may be stronger when you

are removing hair at the root for the first few times

or if you have sensitive skin. If, after 36 hours, the

skin still shows irritation, we recommend that you

contact your physician. In general, the skin reaction

and the sensation of pain tend to diminish con-

siderably with the repeated use of Silk·épil.

In some cases inflammation of the skin could occur

when bacteria penetrate the skin (e.g. when sliding

the appliance over the skin). Thorough cleaning of

the epilation head before each use will minimise

the risk of infection.

If you have any doubts about using this appliance,

please consult your physician. In the following

cases, this appliance should only be used after

prior consultation with a physician: eczema,

wounds, inflamed skin reactions such as folliculitis

(purulent hair follicles) and varicose veins around

moles, reduced immunity of the skin, e.g. diabetes
