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.
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 recommend
applying a moisture cream after epilation.
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 several days later.
If you have used an epilator before, keep
in mind that you do not need to go over
the same area repeatedly thanks to the
one-stroke efficiency of the Dual Epilator
technology. This will reduce the epilation
time significantly. Carefully guide the Dual
Epilator over your legs and take special care
on bony, uneven skin areas in order to avoid
injuries caused by the blade.
