stronger when you are removing hair at
the root for the first few times or if you
have sensitive skin.
Using the cooling application will help to
prevent irritation.
If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows irri-
tation, 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
Silk·épil.
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
minimise 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 consul-
tation 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.
Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimal length of
2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are longer,
we recommend to pre-cut to this length.
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 which re-grows might 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 and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.

Preparing your skin
Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Optional skin cooling: For the first few
epilations or if you have sensitive skin you
can use the cooling application, recom-
mended by dermatologists to help reduce
possible skin irritation.
• Ensure that the gel pack has been in the
deep freezer (***) for at least 2 hours
(for convenience you can store the gel
packs in the freezer).
• Insert a gel pack underneath the glove's
transparent foil. Use only with glove.
• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove
on your leg.
• Start cooling for approx. 1/2 minute,
longer if needed.
• Epilate the cooled skin area immediately
as described in section «C».
