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

– around moles

– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.

diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,

Raynaud’s disease

– haemophilia or immune deficiency.

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 that you pre-cut

the hair to this length before epilating,

using the shaver head with the OptiTrim

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 recom-

mend applying a moisture cream after

epilation.

Fine hair that re-grows may 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

allowing fine hair to get through to the skin

surface.

It is a fact that hair re-growth will be

reduced by 50 % if you remove hairs from

the root regularly at least every 4 weeks

using your Silk·épil.

attached to the epilation head.

To turn on the appliance, slide switch

to the «optimal» setting. For reduced

speed, choose the «soft» setting. The

SmartLight illuminates as long as the

appliance is switched on.

2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For

optimum performance hold the ap-

pliance 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.

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 massaging rollers

clip should always be kept in contact

with the skin, allowing the pulsating
