General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the root
can lead to in-growing hair and irritation
(e.g. itching, discomfort or 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 minimize 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
– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.
diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,
Raynaud's disease
– haemophilia or immune deficiency.
Fine, re-growing hair might not grow up
to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings help 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.
