and epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs
a week later.
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
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.

cooling
For the first few epilations or if you have
sensitive skin, you can use the cooling
glove (10), recommended by derma-
12
tologists to help reduce possible skin
irritation.
• Ensure that the gel pack has been in
the deep freezer (***) for at least
2 hours (for convenience you can store
the gel packs in the freezer).
• Insert the gel pack underneath the
cooling glove's transparent foil. Use
only with glove.
• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove
on your leg.
• Start cooling for approximately
30 seconds, longer if needed.
• Epilate the cooled skin area immedi-
ately as described below.
• Repeat cooling and epilating until
completion.
• While epilating, please ensure your
skin is dry.
Important: Apply cooling glove to the
same area for no longer than 2 minutes.
Keep away from sunlight. Do not use
gel pack when damaged. Dispose of in
household waste. Do not use if you are
hypersensitive, allergic to the cold, or if
your skin suffers from sensory disturb-
ances, when suffering from cardiac
diseases or arterial circulatory disorders.
A How to epilate
The epilation head (2) features Close-
Grip Technology to ensure extra effi-
ciency especially with short hairs: The
40 tweezers always keep close contact
to the skin to remove hairs as short as
grain of sand (0.5 mm). The pivoting
head perfectly adapts to the body
contours for maximum thoroughness.
The high-frequency massaging rollers
(1a) stimulate your skin effectively for an
extra gentle epilation.
The efficiency cap (1b) for fast epilation
ensures maximum skin contact, position-
ing the tweezers at the optimal position
at all times.
