General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the root can
lead to in-growing hair and 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, 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 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, haemophilia, candida or immune
deficiency.
Some useful tips
If you have not used an epilator before, or
if you have not epilated for a longer period
of time, it may take a short time for your
skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort
experienced in the beginning will decrease
