• Carefully clean the epilation head using the cleaning
brush provided. You may want to dip the brush into
ethanol (70%). Make sure that it is completely dry before
you re-attach it and close it with the protective cap.
• To relax the skin we recommend applying a moisturizing
cream after epilation.
• When epilating for the first time, it is advisable to epilate in
the evening, so that any possible reddening can
disappear overnight.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to
irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort and 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, skin reactions and the sensation
of pain tend to diminish considerably with the repeated use.
In some cases inflammation of the skin could occur when
bacteria penetrate the skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance
over the skin). Thoroughly cleaning the epilation head and
your skin before each use will 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 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, koebner
phenomenon, haemophilia or immune deficiency.
When you begin taking hormones or if you change the type
of hormone medication (e.g. contraceptive pill), the growth
of your hairs may be influenced due to a change of your
hormone level. This is caused by the change of hormonal
conditions but not by the appliance.
Facial cleansing
• Pull off the epilator head, attach the brush adapter (6)
and click-in the cleansing brush (5).
• Moisten your skin and the brush head lightly with water.
You may use the facial brush as part of your daily
cleansing routine: with soap, cleanser, cleansing milk, gel
or simply with water.
