some irritation (e.g. feeling of pain,
skin reddening) when you start using
the product. When removing hairs at
root level, this is a normal reaction
that will quickly disappear again.
If, after 36 hours, your skin still shows
irritations, we recommend to contact
your physician.
In general, the skin reactions and the
sensation of pain tend to diminish
considerably with the repeated use
of Silk·épil.
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
– reduced immunity of the skin,
e.g. diabetes mellitus, during
pregnancy, Raynaud's disease
– haemophilia or immune deficiency.
• Silk·épil is designed to remove
hair on legs, but can also be used
on all sensitive areas like arms,
underarms or the bikini line.
• When switched on, the appliance
must never come in contact with
the hair on your head, eyelashes,
ribbons, etc. to prevent any
danger of injury as well as to
prevent blockage or damage
to the appliance.
Underarm and bikini line epilation
Use tests monitored by dermatol-
ogists have shown that the epilator
head may as well be used underarm
and at the bikini line. Be aware that
these areas are particularly sensitive
to pain. However, the pain sensation
will diminish with repeated usage.
For this specific application, we
would like to give the following
advice:
• Before epilating, thoroughly clean
the respective area to remove
residue (like deodorant).
Then dry carefully with a towel
using a dabbing action to avoid
skin irritation.
• Hair should not be longer than
5 mm.
• After use, apply Silk·épil cream or
baby powder (don't use alcoholic
deodorants).
How to operate your Silk·épil
Before starting off, make sure that
the epilator head is thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected. Your skin
must be dry and free from grease
or cream.
• Plug the cord connector into the
socket and plug the transformer
