General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the root
can lead to in-growing hair 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
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
sensation of pain tend to diminish consid-
erably 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
epilation head before each use will mini-
mize 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
– around moles
– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.
diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,
Raynaud's disease
– haemophilia or immune deficiency.
Epilation is more comfortable when the
hair has the optimum length of 2-5 mm.
If hairs are longer, we recommend that
you first shave (see section B) and then
