General information on epilation

Silk·épil is designed to epilate hair on legs,

but use tests monitored by dermatologists

have confirmed that you can also safely

epilate the underarm and the bikini line.

All methods of hair removal at the root can

lead to in-growing hair and irritation (e.g.

itching, discomfort and 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 at the root for

the first few times or if you have sensitive

skin.

Using the cooling application will help to

prevent irritation.

If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows irri-

tation, 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 when bacteria penetrate 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 consulta-

tion 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 shave first and

epilate the shorter re-growing hairs after

1 or 2 weeks.

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 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.

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.
