In general, the skin reactions and the sensation of pain tend to diminish considerably with the repeated use of Silk·épil.
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 or immune deficiency.
•Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on legs, but can also be used on all sensitive areas like arms, underarms or at the bikini line.
•When switched on, the appliance must never come in contact with the hair on your head, eyelashes, ribbons, etc. to prevent any danger of injury as well as to prevent blockage or damage
to the appliance.
Underarm and bikini line epilation Use tests monitored by dermato- logists have shown that the epilator head may as well be used underarm and at the bikini line. Be aware that this area is particularly sensitive to pain. However, the pain sensation will diminish with repeated usage.
For this specific application, we would like to give the following advice:
•Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residue (like deodorant). Then dry carefully with a towel using a dabbing action to avoid skin irritations.
•Hair should not be longer than 5 mm.
•After use, apply Silk·épil cream or baby powder (don’t use alcoholic deodorants).
How to operate your Silk·épil Before starting off, make sure that the epilator head is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
•Plug the cord connector into the socket and plug the transformer into an electrical outlet.
