Description, How to epilate, Some useful tips

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 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, candida or immune deficiency.

Some useful 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.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum length of

2-5 mm. 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.
