Epilation
Epilation tips
• If you have not used an epilator
before, or if you have not epilated for a
long period of time, it may take a short
time for your skin to adapt to epilation.
The discomfort experienced in the
beginning will decrease considerably
with repeated use as the skin adapts
to the process. We recommend to
epilate once a week during the first
month of usage.
• 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
moisturizing cream after epilating.
• Epilation is easier and more
comfortable when the hair is at the
optimum length of 2 to 5 mm (0.02 –
0.2 in). If hairs are longer, we
recommend that you first shave and
epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs
after 3 to 5 days.
• Fine, re-growing hairs might not grow
up to the skin surface. The regular use
of massage sponges (e.g. while
showering) or exfoliation peelings
