Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in). If hairs are longer,
we recommend that you either shave first
and epilate the shorter re-growing hairs
after 1 or 2 weeks.
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 moisture cream after
epilation.
Fine hair which re-grows might not grow
up to the skin surface. The regular use
of massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent
in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.

How to epilate
• Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
• Before starting, thoroughly clean the
epilation head
.
1 To turn on the appliance, slide switch
to setting «2»
(«2» = normal speed,
«1» = reduced speed).
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
For optimum performance hold the
appliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against
the hair growth, in the direction of the
switch. The SoftLift
®
tips will make sure
that even flat lying hair is lifted and
removed thoroughly at the root.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
The massaging rollers clip
should
always be kept in contact with the skin
in order to stimulate and relax the skin
for a gentler epilation.

Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in
an upward direction. When epilating
behind the knee, keep the leg stretched
out straight.

Underarm and bikini line epilation
For this specific application, the
underarm cap
has been developed
as an optional attachment to be placed
on the epilation head
.
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. Therefore, we
recommend that you select speed
setting «1» for the first few epilation
processes. With repeated usage the
pain sensation will diminish. For more
comfort, ensure that the hair is at the
optimum length of 2–5 mm.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residue (like
deodorant). Then carefully dab dry with
a towel. When epilating the underarm,
