If, after 36 hours, your skin still 
shows irritations, we recommend you 
contact your physician. In general, 
the skin reactions and the sensation 
of pain tend to diminish considerably 
with the repeated use of Silk·épil.
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, during 
pregnancy, Raynaud’s disease

– haemophilia or immune 

deficiency.

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

When switched on, the appliance 
must never come in contact with 
the hair on your head, eyelashes, 
ribbons, etc. to prevent any danger of 
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 recom-
mend 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 through 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.

How to epilate

• Your skin must be dry and free 

from grease or cream.

• Before starting off,  thoroughly 

clean epilation head.

• Plug the cord connector 

 into 

the socket 

 and plug the trans-

former plug 

 into an electrical 

outlet.

1. To turn on the appliance, slide 

switch 

 up to setting «2»

(«2» = normal epilation, 

«1» = gentle epilation).

2. Rub your skin to lift short hairs. 

Hold the appliance at right angles 
(90°) against your skin and guide 
it against the hair growth and in 
the direction of the switch.
