Facial epilation
•
Before use, make sure your skin and
the epilation head are thoroughly clean.
•
Turn on the appliance by sliding the
on/off switch (2) to the left or to the right.
The rotating direction of the tweezers
depends on the direction you move the
switch when turning on. For best results,
make sure that the tweezers rotate
against the direction of hair growth.
•
To become familiar with the appliance
we recommend trying it first on the chin
or near the outer corners of the mouth.
•
Hold the appliance with the tweezers
against a section of skin that you keep
stretched with your free hand. Carefully
guide it with gentle pressure against
the direction of hair growth. Do not
press too hard as this may lead to skin
injury. To stretch the upper lip area,
use your tongue to push from below.
•
After use, slide the on/off switch to the
«o» (= off) position.
•
Carefully clean the epilation head
using the cleaning brush provided. You
may want to dip the brush into ethanol
(70%). Make sure that it is completely
dry before you re-attach it and close it
with the protective cap.
•
To relax the skin we recommend apply-
ing a moisturizing cream after epilation.
•
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so
that any possible reddening can disap-
pear overnight.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root
can lead to irritation (e.g. itching, discom-
fort 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 irrita-
tion, we recommend that you contact your
physician. In general, skin reactions and
the sensation of pain tend to diminish
considerably with the repeated use. In
some cases inflammation of the skin could
occur when bacteria penetrate the skin
(e.g. when sliding the appliance over the
skin). Thoroughly cleaning the epilation
head and your skin 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 consulta-
tion 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, koebner
phenomenon, haemophilia or immune
deficiency.
When you begin taking hormones or if you
change the type of hormone medication
(e.g. contraceptive pill), the growth of your
hairs may be influenced due to a change
of your hormone level. This is caused by
the change of hormonal conditions but
not by the appliance.
Facial cleansing
Pull off the epilator head and attach the
brush/pad adapter (6) provided with a
cleansing brush (5a) or vibration pad (5b).
Before use, moisten your skin.
•
Use the cleansing brush or vibration
pad as part of your daily cleansing
