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 mini- mise 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 consul- tation 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.

Some useful tips

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimal length of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.). If hairs are longer, we recommend to pre-cut to this length.

When epilating for the first time, it is advis- able to epilate in the evening, so that any possible reddening can disappear over- night. 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.
