Braun Silk-epil 7 Manual page 7

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 considerably
with repeated use as the skin adapts to the
process.
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so that
any possible reddening can disappear
overnight. To relax the skin we recommend
applying a moisture cream after epilation.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm. If hairs are longer, we recommend
that you shave first and epilate the shorter,
re-growing hairs several days later.
