Silk·épil is designed to remove hair
on legs, but can also be used on all
sensitive areas like forearms,
underarms or the bikini line.

injury as well as to prevent blockage
or damage to the appliance.
Some useful tips
For the first use or if not having
epilated for a long time, we
recommend that you first shave
longer hairs. After 1–2 weeks, it is
much easier and more comfortable
to epilate the regrowing, short hairs.
Before epilating, you may as well
pre-cut long hairs to a length of 2 to
5 mm.
Hair is easier to remove after bathing
or showering. However, hair and
skin must be completely dry. After
epilating, we recommend applying a
moisture cream to relax the skin and
relieve slight skin irritations.
In the beginning, it is advisable to
epilate in the evening, so that any
possible reddening can disappear
overnight.
The fine hairs which regrow might
not manage to get trough to the
skin surface. In order to prevent
in-growing hairs, we recommend the
regular use of massage sponges
(e.g. after showering) or exfoliation
peelings. By a gentle scrubbing
action, the upper skin layer is
removed and fine hairs can get
through to the skin surface.
