Facial epilation
• Before use, make sure your skin and the epilation head are thoroughly
clean.
• Turn on the appliance by sliding the on/off switch (2) to the left or to the
right. The rotating direction of the tweezers depends on the direction you
move the switch when turning on. For best results, make sure that the
tweezers rotate against the direction of hair growth.
• To become familiar with the appliance we recommend trying it first on the
chin or near the outer corners of the mouth.
• Hold the appliance with the tweezers against a section of skin that you
keep stretched with your free hand. Carefully guide it with gentle pressure
against the direction of hair growth. Do not press too hard as this may
lead to skin injury. To stretch the upper lip area, use your tongue to push
from below.
• After use, slide the on/off switch to the «o» (= off) position.
• Carefully clean the epilation head (3) 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 (4).
• 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.
• 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 influ-
enced due to a change of your hormone level. This is caused by the
change of hormonal conditions but not by the appliance.
