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 inflam-
mation of the skin could occur when
bacteria penetrate the skin (e.g.
4
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.

How to epilate
• Your skin must be dry and free

• Before starting off, thoroughly
clean the epilation head (1).
a) To turn on the appliance, slide up
the on/off switch (3).

For optimal performance, hold the
appliance at a right angle (90°)
against your skin and guide it
without pressure against the hair

c) Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower
leg in an upward direction. When
epilating behind the knee, keep
the leg stretched out straight.
d) Underarm and bikini line
epilation
For this specific application, the
underarm cap (6) has been devel-
oped as an optional attachment to
be placed on the epilation head
(1).
Please be aware that especially
at the beginning these areas are
particularly sensitive to pain.
With repeated usage the pain
sensation will diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean
the respective area to remove
residue (like deodorant). Then
carefully dab dry with a towel.
When epilating the underarm, keep
your arm raised up and guide the
appliance in different directions.
Cleaning (e)
After epilating, unplug the appliance
and clean the epilation head (1).
Thoroughly clean the tweezer
element using the cleaning brush
dipped into alcohol. While cleaning,
you can turn the tweezer element
manually.
To remove the epilation head, press
the release buttons (2) on the left and
right and pull it off. After cleaning,
place the epilation head back on the
