Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using your Braun Silk·épil Xpressive.

Please read the use instructions carefully before using the appliance and keep them for future reference.

Braun Silk·épil Xpressive has been designed to make the removal of unwanted hair as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its proven epilation system removes hair at the root, leaving your skin smooth for weeks. As the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no more stubble.

The epilation head features a unique arrangement of 40 tweezers and SoftLift® tips for unprecedented efficiency. Thanks to its pivoting feature, it ideally adapts to the body contours, for better short hair removal and thoroughness. The massage system (1a) stimulates the skin before and soothes it after the hair is pulled out to significantly reduce the pain sensation.

The Efficiency cap (1b) for fast epilation ensures maximum skin contact, always taking care of the optimum usage position thanks to its pivoting feature.

The shaver head (7) is specially designed for a fast and close shave of underarms and bikini line/area.
