In the following cases, this appliance
should only be used after prior consul-
tation with a physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin reac-
tions 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 comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length
of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are
longer, we recommend that you pre-cut
the hair to this length before epilating,
using the shaver head with the OptiTrim
attachment .

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 recom-
mend applying a moisture cream after
epilation.
Fine hair that re-grows may not grow up
to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent
in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer
allowing fine hair to get through to the skin
surface.
It is a fact that hair re-growth will be
reduced by 50 % if you remove hairs from
the root regularly at least every 4 weeks
using your Silk·épil.

speed, choose the «soft» setting. The
SmartLight illuminates as long as the
appliance is switched on.
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For
optimum performance hold the ap-
pliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against the
hair growth, in the direction of the
switch.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
