• If you are epilating for the first lime, we recommend doing it in the evening so any
possible redness or irritation can go away overnight. We suggest testing the unit
gradually over a period of two to three days to allow your skin to adjust.
• If you have never epilated before (or if it has been an extended time since you epilated)
you will feel a prickling sensation when using the unit. This feeling is due to the fact that
you are removing hair from the root. After a few sessions the sensation you feel should
diminish.
• Removing hair from the root can cause ingrown hair and skin irritation (redness of the
skin, discomfort, itching). If you know that you are prone to ingrown hair, removing
hair from the root may not be for you. Regular skin massaging with a massaging glove
or loofa, may help reduce the chance or occurrence of ingrown hairs. After using the
epilator you can use body cream or aloe vera to sooth the skin and any possible
irritation.
• Using an epilator may cause redness or irritation of the skin. This is a normal reaction
that will quickly disappear, but may be longer if you have very sensitive skin or are
removing hair from the root for the first few times. If any irritation remains for more than
3 days, discontinue use and consult with your health care provider.
• Sometimes inflammation of the skin can occur when bacteria penetrates the skin.
Cleaning the epilation head before and after each use can minimize the risk of
infection.
• The Eta 1349 epilator is only intended to remove single hairs from the upper lip and
chin. Hold area taut and use a small brushing motion.
the eta 1349 is not an electric
shaver and should not be used like an electric shaver on your entire face!
Using
the Eta 1349 like an electric shaver, without holding the skin taut, could potentially
allow the Eta 1349 to pinch or grab the skin, which could cause irritation and skin
damage.
• Before removing hair from the bikini line and underarms it is important to use a loofa
sponge or exfoliation cream in a warm shower or bath to remove dead skin and help
minimize the chance or occurrence of ingrown hairs. If it has been an extended amount
of time since you have removed hair from your bikini line and underarms (it the hair is
longer that 5mm), trim the hair with a scissor or trimmer. Make sure to hold your skin
taut with one hand while removing hair. Some women may experience irritation after
removing hair from the underarms and bikini line for the first time. We suggest testing
the unit on a small part of the skin in these areas first
• Do not continually rub the unit on the same area or apply strong pressure.
• Keep the protective cap on your unit when it is not in use.
