Epilation (A)
Tips for beginners
• If you have not used an epilator before, it may take
some time for your skin to adapt to epilation. In the
beginning, epilate on a weekly basis to help
reduce the discomfort.
• First time users should epilate in the evening so
that reddening can disappear overnight. To relax
the skin, we recommend applying a moisturizing
cream after epilation.
• We recommend using the massage cap (1a) with
the SensoSmart function activated.
• Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the
hair is between 0.5–3 mm long. If hairs are longer,
we recommend that you shorten them.
• Exfoliation avoids ingrown hairs and provides
optimum conditions for epilation.

Getting prepared

Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist
to achieve optimum gliding conditions for the
appliance.
Make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and
provided with a cap.
How to epilate
Always stretch your skin while epilating. Guide the
appliance in a slow, continuous movement without
pressure against the hair growth in the direction of
the light.
Depending on model, there are various epilation
caps available:
Massage cap (1a):
Skin contact cap (1b): for increased efficiency
