Epilation (A)

Tips for beginners

• If you have not used an epilator before, it may take

some time for your skin to adapt to epilation. In

the beginning, epilate on a weekly basis to help

reduce the discomfort.

• First time users should epilate in the evening so

that reddening 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 – 3 mm long. If hairs are longer,

we recommend that you shorten them.

• Exfoliation avoids ingrown hairs and provides

optimum conditions for epilation.

• We recommend using the massage cap with the

SensoSmart function activated.

Getting prepared

Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from

grease or cream.

Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist to

achieve optimum gliding conditions for the appliance.

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

provided with a cap.

How to epilate

Always stretch your skin while epilating. Guide the

appliance in a slow, continuous movement without

pressure against the hair growth in the direction of

the light.

Depending on model, there are various epilation

caps available:

Massage cap (1a):

for best comfort

Skin contact cap (1b):

for increased efficiency

Precision cap (9):

for smaller epilation areas, e.g. face

Legs:

When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg

stretched out straight.

Sensitive areas:

First thoroughly clean and carefully dry sensitive

areas to remove residues (like deodorant). 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

after epilation, avoid using irritating substances

such as deodorants with alcohol.

Face:

Before epilating, clean your skin thoroughly with a

disinfecting toner containing alcohol. Stretch the

skin with one hand and slowly guide the epilator

with your other hand in the direction of the light.

Cleaning the epilation head

After use, turn off the appliance and clean the

epilation head:

Remove the cap (1a/b). Brush out the tweezers

while turning the tweezer element manually. Take off

the epilator head and gently tap it to remove hairs

from inside the head.

If a thorough clean is needed, you may hold the

appliance with the epilation head under hot running

water. Then take off the epilation head and shake

off remaining water. Make sure it is dry before

reattaching.

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 re -

moving hair at the root for the first few times or if

you have sensitive skin.

In general, skin reactions and the sensation of pain

tend to diminish considerably with repeated use.

If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows irritation, we

recommend that you contact your physician.

To minimize the risk of infection or inflammation due

to bacteria penetrating the skin when it comes to

micro-injuries, thoroughly clean the epilation head

and your skin before each use.

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

mellitus, during pregnancy, Raynaud’s disease,

haemophilia, candida or immune deficiency.

Body treatment (B)

The exfoliation brush (13) helps avoid ingrown hair

by removing dead skin cells. It also improves epilat-

ing results when used 1-2 days before epilation.

The deep massage pad (14) helps improve the skin

appearance.

You may use the exfoliation brush/ deep massage

pad on a weekly basis on wet skin during your

shower routine with your preferred body scrub or

shower gel.

The deep massage pad may even be used more

frequently with body lotion or massage oil.
