General information on
epilation
All methods of hair removal at the
root can lead to in-growing hair
and irritation (e.g. itching,
discomfort or 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 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 minimize 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 or immune
deficiency.
Epilation is more comfortable
when the hair has the optimum
length of 2-5 mm.
If hairs are longer, we recommend
that you first shave (see section
B) and then epilate the shorter,
regrowing hair a week later.
Fine, re-growing hair might not
grow up to the skin surface. The
regular use of massage sponges
(e.g. after showering) or
exfoliation peelings help 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 use, make sure that the
epilation head (2) is clean.
To turn on the appliance, slide up
the on/off switch (4):
Setting «I»: extra gentle
Setting «II»: extra efficient
When switched on, the switch light
illuminates the area to be epilated.
Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
For optimal performance, hold the
appliance at a right angle (90°)
against your skin and guide it
without pressure against the hair
growth, in the direction of the
switch. The massaging rollers (1)
stimulate the skin before and after
the hair is pulled out for an extra
gentle epilation experience.
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
sensitive area cap (7) has been
developed as an optional
attachment to be placed on the
epilation head (2).
Please be aware that especially at
the beginning these areas are
particularly sensitive to pain.
Therefore, we recommend that
you start with switch setting «I».
With repeated usage the pain
sensation will diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean
the respective area to remove
residue (like deodorant). Then
carefully dab dry with a towel.
When epilating the underarm,
keep your arm raised up and
guide the appliance in different
directions.
Cleaning
After epilating, unplug the
appliance, remove the massaging
rollers and clean the epilation
head (2).
Thoroughly clean the tweezer
element using the cleaning brush
dipped into alcohol. While
cleaning, you can turn the tweezer
element manually.
To remove the epilation head,
press the release buttons (3) on
the left and right and pull it off.
After cleaning, place the epilation
head and the massaging rollers
back on the housing.
