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

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 comfort-
able 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
either shave first and epilate the shorter
re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks, or
use the shaver head with the included
OptiTrim attachment
to this ideal length.
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 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.
