you with the appliance and provide some
useful information about epilation. Please
read the use instructions carefully and
thoroughly before using the appliance.
Braun Silk·épil Xelle has been designed to
make the removal of unwanted hair as
efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its
proven epilation system removes hair at
the root, leaving your skin smooth for
weeks. As the hair that re-grows is fine
and soft, there will be no more stubble.

that are uniquely arranged to remove more
hair in a single stroke, for unprecedented

the epilation head make sure that even
short hairs (0.5 mm) and flat lying hairs are
removed thoroughly at the root. It comes
with two different clips:
The massaging rollers clip makes the
1a
epilation ultra gentle. Its pulsating
movement stimulates and relaxes the
skin to offset the pulling sensation.
The EfficiencyPro clip provides a

thorough epilation that is now even
faster. It ensures maximum skin
contact at the optimum usage position
thus enabling more effective hair
removal.
The SmartLight incorporated in the switch
reproduces an almost daylight condition,
thus revealing even the finest hair and
giving you a better control for improved

General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the root can
lead to ingrown hair and irritation (e.g.
itching, discomfort and reddening of the
skin) depending on the skin and hair type.
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 sen-
sation of pain tend to diminish consider-
ably with the repeated use of Silk·épil.
In some cases, inflammation of the skin
could occur by bacteria penetrating the
skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance over
the skin). Thorough cleaning of the epila-
tion 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 consul-
tation with a physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin reac-
tions such as folliculitis (purulent hair
follicles) and varicose veins
