the ankles. The integrated blade is very sharp.

General information
• All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to skin irritations (e.g. itching,
discomfort and reddening) 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 this product.
• 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 minimize 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, Raynaud's disease, haemophilia, candida or immune deficiency.
Useful tips
• If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have not epilated for a longer 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.
• 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.
• Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm. If hairs are longer, you can pre-cut the hairs to 5 mm length using the shaver
head with trimmer cap.
• Fine, regrowing hairs might not grow up to the skin surface. The regular use of the
smoothing cap (2), massage sponges (e.g. after showering) or exfoliation peelings
helps to prevent in-grown hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin
layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.
