Epilation tips

•

If you have not used an epilator before, 
or if you have not epilated for a long 
period of time, it may take a short time 
for your skin to adapt to epilation. 
The discomfort experienced in the 
beginning will decrease considerably 
with repeated use as the skin adapts to 
the process.  

•

When epilating for the first time, it is 
advisable to epilate in the evening, so 
that any possible reddening can disap-
pear overnight. To relax the skin we rec-
ommend applying a moisturizing cream 
after epilating.

•

Epilation is easier and more comforta-
ble when the hair is at the optimum 
length of 2 to 5 mm. If hairs are longer, 
we recommend that you first shave and 
epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs 
after 3 to 5 days.

•

Fine, re-growing hairs might not grow 
up to the skin surface.  Exfoliation helps 
preventing in-grown hairs by scrubbing/
removing the upper skin layer so that 
fine hairs can get through to the skin 
surface. 

Cleaning the epilation head

Regularly cleaning the epilation head 
ensures good hygienic conditions.  First 
remove the cap used (1, 7 or 8) and rinse 
it under running water. To remove the epil-
ation head, press the release button (5). 

Dry:  Thoroughly clean the tweezers ele-
ment using the cleaning brush. 
Wet:  After each wet usage (especially 
with gel), clean the epilation head under 
running water. During cleaning, turn on 
the epilator for a few seconds. Re-attach 

one of the caps only when the epilation 
head is completely dry.

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal from the root 
can lead to in-grown hairs and irritation 
(e.g. itching, discomfort or reddening of 
the skin), depending on the condition of 
the skin and hair. This is a normal reaction 
and should quickly disappear, but may be 
stronger when you are removing hair from 
the root for the first few times or if you 
have sensitive skin.
If after 36 hours the skin still shows irrita-
tion, we recommend that you contact your 
physician.
In general, the skin reaction and the sen-
sation of pain tend to diminish considera-
bly with repeated use of Silk·épil. 
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 epila-
tion head before each use will minimize 
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 consulta-
tion with a physician: eczema, wounds, 
inflamed skin reactions such as folliculitis 
(purulent hair follicles), varicose veins, 
around moles, reduced immunity of the 
skin, e.g. diabetes mellitus, during preg-
nancy, Raynaud’s disease, haemophilia, 
immune deficiency or candida.
