Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are longer,
we recommend to pre-cut to this length
using the shaver head with the OptiTrim
H
attachment .
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.
Fine hair which re-grows might not grow
up to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent in-
growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.

(«2»= normal speed, «1» = reduced
speed).
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
For optimum performance hold the
appliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against
the hair growth, in the direction of the
switch. The SoftLift™ tips will make
sure that even flat lying hair is lifted and
removed thoroughly at the root.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
Both rollers of the 4-way moving pain
A
softener should always be kept in
contact with the skin, allowing the
pulsating movements to stimulate and
relax the skin for a gentler epilation.
If you are used to epilation and look for
a faster way to efficiently remove hair,
please use the EfficiencyPro clip
Placed on the epilator head instead of
the 4-way moving pain softener, it
allows maximum skin contact and
ensures optimum usage so that more
hairs are removed in one stroke.
