deodorant). When epilating the under-
arm, keep your arm raised up so that the
skin is stretched and guide the appliance

more sensitive after epilation, avoid
using irritating substances such as deo-
dorants with alcohol.
Face:
Before epilating, clean your skin thor-
oughly with a disinfecting toner contain-
ing alcohol. Stretch the skin with one
hand and slowly guide the epilator with
your other hand in the direction of the light.
Cleaning the epilation head
After use, turn off the appliance and
clean the epilation head:
Remove the cap (1a/b). Brush out the
tweezers while turning the tweezer ele-
ment manually. Take off the epilator head
and gently tap it to remove hairs from
inside the head.
If a thorough clean is needed, you may
hold the appliance with the epilation
head under hot running water. Then take
off the epilation head and shake off
remaining water. Make sure it is dry
before reattaching.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root
can lead to 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 re moving hair at
the root for the first few times or if you
have sensitive skin.
In general, skin reactions and the sensa-
tion of pain tend to diminish considerably
with repeated use.
If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows irri-
tation, we recommend that you contact
your physician.
To minimize the risk of infection or
inflammation due to bacteria penetrating
12
the skin when it comes to micro-injuries,
thoroughly clean the epilation head and
your skin before each use.
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 consulta-
tion 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, haemo-
philia, candida or immune deficiency.
