General information about epilation

Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start epilating.

When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to try it out on an area with only light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.After epilation you can apply a mild cream or body milk to soothe your skin and reduce skin irritation.

Before epilating longer hairs on sensitive skin areas, shorten them with a trimmer or a pair of scissors.

We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as this will allow any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.

Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times you use the epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely normal and will quickly disappear.As you use the appliance more often, your skin will get used to epilation, skin irritation will decrease and regrowth will become thinner and softer. If the irritation has not disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.

Epilation can lead to ingrown hairs or minor skin injuries, which may cause inflammations due to penetration of bacteria into the skin. It is therefore important to clean the epilating head very carefully after each use.

Epilating the legs

Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any cream before you start epilating.
