In the following we would like to familiarise
you with the appliance and provide some
useful information about epilation. Please
read the use instructions carefully and
thoroughly before using the appliance.
Braun Silk·épil EverSoft has been designed to make the removal of unwanted
hair as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its proven epilation system removes
your hair at the root, leaving your skin
smooth for weeks.
The high-precision standard epilation
with its unique arrangement
B
head
of tweezers and the integrated feed-in
geometry ensures an efficient epilation
and removes even hair as short as
0.5 mm at the root. As the hair that
re-grows is fine and soft, there will be
no more stubble.
The EverSoft attachment makes the
epilation ultra gentle. With its pulsating
movement it stimulates and relaxes the
skin, thus masking the pulling sensation.
If you have not used an epilator before, or
if you have not epilated for a longer period
of time, it may take a short while for your
skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort
experienced at first is considerably reduced with repeated use as the number of
hair to be removed decreases over time
and as the skin adjusts to the process.
The Braun Silk·épil EverSoft Easy Start
has been specially designed to make your
start in epilation easy as it gently helps
your skin in the adjustment phase.
has been
The starter epilation head
developed especially for the first few
epilations, when skin is not yet used to the
process and also for sensitive skin.
Compared to the standard epilation head
it has fewer tweezers that are further
apart, pulling out less hair simultaneously. This makes the process much
8
b
gentler and helps your skin adjust to
epilation, but will take a bit longer than
with the standard epilation head.
The cooling application provides additional help to reduce possible skin
irritation after epilation and will also leave
the skin feeling cool and fresh.
Important
• This appliance must never be used near
water (e.g. a filled wash basin, bathtub
or shower).
• Keep the appliance out of the reach of
children.
• 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.
• Before use, check whether your voltage
corresponds to the voltage printed on
the transformer. Always use the countryspecific 12 V transformer plug supplied
with the product( USA/CDN: type
Pl-41-77 D-1, Mexico: Pl-41-77 AR,
Argentina: Pl-41-77 IR).
General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on
legs, but it can also be used on all sensitive areas like forearms, the underarm or
the bikini line.
All methods of hair removal at the root can
lead to in-growing hair and irritation (e.g.
itching, discomfort or 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 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 irritation, 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 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.
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 recommend
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 ingrowing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin surface.
