using the appliance
general information about epilation
- Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is
completely dry when you start epilating.
- When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to try it
out on an area with only light hair growth. This helps you get
accustomed to the epilation process.
- For optimal epilation results, the hairs should not be longer than
10mm. Use one of the following methods if the hairs are longer than
10mm:
1 Shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer.
Afterwards you can immediately start with epilation.
2 Shave the hairs completely. Then you can start to epilate after a few
days (minimum hair length 0.5mm necessary).
- Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times you
use the epilator. This phenomenon is normal and quickly disappears.
As you use the appliance more often, your skin gets used to epilation,
skin irritation decreases and regrowth becomes thinner and softer. If
the irritation has not disappeared within three days, we advise you to
consult a doctor.
- We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as this allows
any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.
Epilating with the cooling glove
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not
use any cream before you start epilating.
1 Insert the small plug into the bottom of the appliance and put the
adapter in the wall socket.
 Put the ice gel pad in the compartment of the cooling glove with
the transparent cover (Fig. 6).
Only use the ice gel pad in combination with the cooling glove.
 Push your hand into the cooling glove and start cooling the area
you want to epilate (Fig. 7).
