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 dis-

comfort 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 reddening

can disappear overnight. To relax the skin we recom-

mend 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 move-

ment 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 massage cap (1a) ensures

best skin comfort during epilation. If you are used

to the sensation of epilation, you may replace the

massage cap with the skin contact cap (1b) which

provides a closer skin contact and an improved

adaptation to all body areas. Whenever the

SensoSmart light shines red, this is to remind you

not to press too hard.

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 appli-

cations 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 sub-

stances 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 epila-

tor 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 run-

ning water. Then press the release button (6) to

remove the epilation head. Shake the appliance

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 considerably 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,
