Description see, How to epilate, Some useful tips

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 physi- cian. In the following cases, this ap- pliance 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.

Some useful tips

Epilation is easier and more com- fortable when the hair is at the optimum length of 2-5 mm (0,08-0,2 in.)

If hairs are longer, we recommend that you either 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 recommend 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.
