Description see, 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 epila- tion 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 consulta- tion with a physician:

–eczema, wounds, inflamed skin reac- tions 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 comfortable 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 recom- mend 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.

It is a fact that hair re-growth will be reduced by 50 % if you remove hairs from

the root regularly at least every 4 weeks using your Silk·épil.
