A Epilation
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the
roots can lead to minor skin injuries
and in-growing hairs. All micro-
injuries caused by plucking hairs
may lead to inflammation through
the penetration of bacteria into the
skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance
over the skin).
Thoroughly cleaning the tweezer
head before each use minimizes
the risk of infection.
When first removing hairs from the
root you may experience some
irritation depending on the condition
of your skin and hair (e.g. discomfort
and reddening of the skin).
This is a normal reaction that will
quickly disappear.
If, after 36 hours, your skin still
shows irritations, we recommend you
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 forearms,
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 block-
age or damage to the appliance.
Some useful tips
For the first use or if not having
epilated for a long time, we
recommend that you first shave
longer hairs with the shaver head.
After 1–2 weeks, it is much easier
and more comfortable to epilate
the regrowing, short hairs.
Before epilating, you may as well
pre-cut long hairs to a length of 2 to
5 mm.
Hair is easier to remove after bathing
or showering. However, hair and
skin must be completely dry. After
epilating, we recommend applying
a moisture cream to relax the skin
and relieve slight skin irritations.
In the beginning, it is advisable to
epilate in the evening, so that any
possible reddening can disappear
overnight.
