stubble.

Active, 4-way moving massage
rollers stimulate the skin before and

General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to epilate hair on
legs, but use tests monitored by der-
matologists have revealed that you can
also 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.
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
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
