I  Epilation 

Epilation tips

If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have 
not epilated for a longer period of time, it may take a 
short time for your skin to adapt to epilation. The dis-
comfort 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 disappear overnight. To relax the skin we recom-
mend applying a moisturizing cream after epilation.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the 
hair is between 0.5–5 mm long. If hairs are longer, 
we recommend that you shave first and let the hair 
grow back to at least 0.5 mm length.

Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from grease 
or cream.

Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist in 
order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for the 
appliance.

How to epilate 

Make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and 
provided with a cap (1a or 1b). 

A  Select speed «I» for gentle epilation, speed «II» for 

efficient epilation.

B  Always stretch your skin when epilating. Make 

sure that the epilation area is in close contact with 
your skin. 
Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous move-
ment without pressure against the hair growth, 
in the direction of the switch. As hair can grow in 
different directions, it may also be helpful to guide 
the appliance in different directions to achieve 
optimal results. The massage cap (1a) ensures 
best skin comfort during epilation. If you are used 
to the sensation of epilation, you may replace the 
massage cap with the skin contact cap (1b) which 
provides a closer skin contact and an improved 
adaptation to all body areas. Whenever the 
SensoSmart light shines red, this is to remind you 
not to press too hard.

C

 Leg epilation 

  Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward 

direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep 
the leg stretched out straight.

D

  Underarm and bikini line epilation 

  In sensitive areas, we recommend using the skin 

contact cap (1b). Especially during the first appli-
cations these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. 
Therefore, we recommend that you select speed 
«I» for the first few times.

  W ith repeated usage the pain sensation will 

diminish.

  Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective 

area to remove residues (like deodorant). 

Then carefully dab dry with a towel. When epilating 
the underarm, keep your arm raised up so that 
the skin is stretched and guide the appliance in 
different directions. As skin may be more sensitive 
directly after epilation, avoid using irritating sub-
stances such as deodorants with alcohol.

E

 Facial epilation

  For removing any unwanted hair from the face or 

other sensitive areas, use the facial cap (8) as an 
optional attachment to be placed on the epilation 
head (2). For the first few usages, we recommend 
that you select speed «I» in order to get used to 
epilation in sensitive areas.

  Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning the 

skin thoroughly with a disinfecting toner con-
taining alcohol. When epilating the face, stretch 
the skin with one hand and slowly guide the epila-
tor with your other hand in the direction of the 
switch. 

F

  Cleaning the epilation head 

1  Cleaning with the cleaning brush (11): 
  Remove the cap and brush it out. Thoroughly clean 

the tweezers from the rear side of the epilator head 
with the brush dipped into alcohol. While doing so, 
turn the tweezer element manually. This cleaning 
method ensures best hygienic conditions for the 
epilation head. 

2  Cleaning under running water:
  After each wet usage, clean the appliance under 

running water. Remove the cap and hold the 
appliance with the epilation head under hot run-
ning water. Then press the release button (6) to 
remove the epilation head. Shake the appliance 
and the epilation head to remove excess water and 
leave both parts to thoroughly dry out before 
re-assembling. 

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to 
irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort and 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 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 
sensation of pain tend to diminish considerably with 
the 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 epilation head before each use will minimise 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 
consultation with a physician: eczema, wounds, 
inflamed skin reactions such as folliculitis (purulent 
hair follicles) and varicose veins around moles,
