I Epilation
Epilation 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 red-
dening can disappear overnight. To relax the skin
we recommend applying a moisturizing cream
after epilation.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when
the hair is between 0.5–5 mm long. If hairs are
longer, we recommend that you shave first and
let the hair grow back to at least 0.5 mm length.
Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist in
order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for
the appliance.
How to epilate
Make sure that the epilation head (2) is attached
and provided with the High-Frequency Massage
System (1) or one of the caps (8, 9).
A Select speed «I» for gentle epilation, speed «II»
for efficient epilation.
B Always stretch your skin when epilating. Make
sure that the epilation area is in close contact
with your skin.
Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against the hair
growth, in the direction of the switch. As hair
can grow in different directions, it may also
be helpful to guide the appliance in different
directions to achieve optimal results. The High
Frequency Massage System ensures best skin
comfort during epilation.
C Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an
upward direction. When epilating behind the
knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.
D Underarm and bikini line epilation
For this specific application, the sensitive area
cap (8) has been developed as an optional
attachment to be placed on the epilation head
(2). Especially during the first applications these
areas are particularly sensitive to pain. Therefore,
we recommend that you select speed «I» 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 0,5–5 mm.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective
area to remove residues (like deodorant). Then
carefully dab dry with a towel. When epilating
the underarm, keep your arm raised up so that
the skin is stretched and guide the appliance
in different directions. As skin may be more
sensitive directly after epilation, avoid using
irritating substances such as deodorants with
alcohol.
E Facial epilation
For removing any unwanted hair from the face
or other sensitive areas, use the facial cap (9)
as an optional attachment to be placed on the
epilation head (2). For the first few usages, we
recommend that you select speed «I» in order
to get used to epilation in sensitive areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning the
skin thoroughly with a disinfecting toner con-
taining alcohol. When epilating the face, stretch
the skin with one hand and slowly guide the
epilator with your other hand in the direction of
the switch against the hair growth.
F Cleaning the epilation head
1 Cleaning with the cleaning brush (12):
Remove the cap and brush it out. Thoroughly
clean the tweezers from the rear side of the
epilator head with the brush dipped into alcohol.
While doing so, turn the tweezer element
manually. This cleaning method ensures best
hygienic conditions for the epilation head.
2 Cleaning under running water:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance
under running water. Remove the cap and hold
the appliance with the epilation head under hot
running water. Then press the release button
(6) to remove the epilation head. Shake the ap-
pliance and the epilation head to remove excess
water and leave both parts to thoroughly dry
out before re-assembling.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root can lead
to irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort and 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 con-
siderably 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
