Braun Silk·épil 7 has been designed to make the

easy as possible. Its proven epilation system
removes hair at the root, leaving your skin smooth
for weeks. As the hair re-growth is fine and soft,
there will be no more stubble.

General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to
in-growing hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort
and reddening of the skin) depending on the condi-
tion 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,
– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g. diabetes
mellitus, during pregnancy, Raynaud’s disease,
haemophilia, candida or immune deficiency.
Some useful 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.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the
hair is at the optimum length of 2–5 mm. If hairs are
longer, we recommend that you 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.
