considerably 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 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 consultation with a physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin
reactions 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 com-
fortable when the hair is at the op-
timal length of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.).
If hairs are longer, we recommend to
pre-cut to this length.
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 peel-
ings 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.
