Cleaning with the brush
Thoroughly clean the tweezers element
using the cleaning brush.
Cleaning under running water
After each wet usage (especially with
gel), clean the epilation head under
running water. During cleaning, turn on
the epilator for a few seconds. Then
remove the epilation head and let it dry.
Re-attach the epilation head after it has
dried completely.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root
can lead to in-grown hairs and irritation
(e.g. itching, discomfort or reddening
of the skin), depending on the condition
of the skin and hair. This is a normal
reaction and should quickly disappear,
but may be stronger when you are
removing hair from 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
sensation of pain tend to diminish
considerably with 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 minimize 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),
varicose veins, around moles, reduced
immunity of the skin, e.g. diabetes
mellitus, during pregnancy, Raynaud's
disease, haemophilia, immune
deficiency or Candida.
