ity, functionality and design.
We hope you thoroughly enjoy your
new Silk·épil.
The high-precision epilator head is
specially designed for a comfortable
and long-lasting hair removal. Even
very short hairs (0.5 mm in length)
will thoroughly be removed at the
root. In general, regrowing hairs
will become finer and thinner.
Read these use instructions carefully
and completely before using the
appliance.

All methods of hair removal at the
roots can lead to minor skin injuries
and in-growing hairs. All micro-inju-
ries caused by plucking hairs may
lead to inflammation through the
penetration of bacteria into the skin
(e.g. when sliding the appliance over
the skin). Thoroughly cleaning the
tweezer head before each use mini-
mizes the risk of infection.
Depending on the condition of your
skin and hairs, you may experience
some irritation (e.g. feeling of pain,
skin reddening) when you start using
the product. When removing hairs at
root level, this is a normal reaction
that will quickly disappear again.
If, after 36 hours, your skin still shows
irritations, we recommend to contact
your physician.
In general, the skin reactions and the
sensation of pain tend to diminish
considerably with the repeated use
of Silk·épil.
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.
