General information on epilation Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on legs, but it can also be used on other sensitive areas like forearms, the under- arm or the bikini line.
All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to ingrown hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort and reddening of the skin) depending on the skin and hair type.
This is a normal reaction and should quickly disappear, but may be stronger when you are removing hair at the root for the first few times or if you have sensitive skin.
If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows irritation, we recommend that you contact your physician.
In general, the skin reaction and the sen- sation of pain tend to diminish consider- ably with the repeated use of Silk·épil.
In some cases, inflammation of the skin could occur by bacteria penetrating 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.
