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 pre-cut the hair to this length before epilating.

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 that re-grows may 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 allowing fine hair to get through to the skin surface.

4to setting «2»

(«2» = normal speed, «1» = reduced speed).

2Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For optimum performance hold the ap- pliance at a right angle (90°) against your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous movement without pressure against the hair growth, in the direction of the switch. The SoftLift™ tips will make sure that even flat-lying hair is lifted and removed thoroughly at the root.

As hair can grow in different directions, it may also be helpful to guide the appliance in different directions to achieve optimum results.

Both rollers of the massaging rollers clip 1a should always be kept in contact with the skin, allowing the pulsating movements to stimulate and relax the skin for a gentler epilation.

If you are used to epilation and look for a faster way to efficiently remove hair, please use the EfficiencyPro clip 1b .

It allows maximum skin contact and ensures optimum usage so that more hairs are removed in one stroke.

3Leg epilation

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.

4Underarm and bikini line epilation Use tests monitored by dermatolo- gists have revealed that you can also epilate the underarm and the bikini line. Please be aware that these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish.
