Epilation tips

Before you start epilating

Note: Always clean the epilating head of the epilator before first use.

 - When you use the epilator for the first time, we advise you to try it out on an area with only 

light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.

 - We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears 

overnight. 

 - Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when 

you start epilating.

 - Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any cream before 

you start epilating. 

 - Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If 

the hairs are longer, we recommend that you either shave first and epilate the shorter 

regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks or that you use the sensitive area shaving head with the 

trimming comb to pretrim hairs to this ideal length.

 - As your hair grows in different cycles, it is best to epilate a few days in a row when you start 

epilating. This will help you to remain stubble-free longer because your hairs will start regrowing 

in the same cycle and pace.

 - The epilator is delivered with the basic epilation cap attached. If you want to use it with the 

optimal performance cap or the active hairlifter with active massage, detach the basic epilation 

cap by pulling it off the appliance and attach the optimal performance cap or the active hairlifter 

with active massage (see chapter ‘Using the epilator’, section ‘Epilating the legs with the epilator’). 

During epilation

 - The epilator can be used cordlessly on rechargeable batteries, but it can also be used with the 

adapter on mains power.

 - While epilating, stretch your skin with your free hand. This lifts up the hairs and helps to 

minimise the pulling sensation.

 - For optimal performance, place the epilating head on the skin at an angle of 90° with the on/off 

button pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance. Guide the
