Our products are engineered to meet the
highest standards of quality, functionality and
design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using
your Braun Silk·épil Xpressive.

Please read the use instructions carefully
before using the appliance and keep them
for future reference.

Braun Silk·épil Xpressive has been designed
to make the removal of unwanted hair as
efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its
proven epilation system removes hair at the
root, leaving your skin smooth for weeks. As
the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there
will be no more stubble.

The epilation head features a unique
arrangement of 40 tweezers and SoftLift® tips
for unprecedented efficiency. Thanks to its
pivoting feature, it ideally adapts to the body
contours, for better short hair removal and
thoroughness. The massage system (1a)
stimulates the skin before and soothes it after
the hair is pulled out to significantly reduce
the pain sensation.
The Efficiency cap (1b) for fast epilation
ensures maximum skin contact, always
taking care of the optimum usage position
thanks to its pivoting feature.

cleaning under running tap water.
Warning: Detach the appliance from

the power supply before cleaning any of
the heads with water.
This appliance is not intended for use by

•
children or persons with reduced physical
or mental capabilities, unless they are
given supervision by a person responsible
for their safety. In general, we recommend
that you keep the appliance out of 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.
Never use the epilation head without cap.

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal at the root can
lead to in-growing hair and 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 removing hair at the root for the first
few times or if you have sensitive skin. Using
the pre-epilation wipes can 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, candida or immune

deficiency.

Some useful tips

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 time for your
skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort
experienced in the beginning will decrease
considerably with repeated use as the skin
adapts to the process.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2-5 mm. If hairs are longer, we recommend
that you either shave first and epilate the
shorter, re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.

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.

Preparing for use

•

In order to best prepare your skin for
epilation, use the Silk·épil pre-epilation
wipes included. Carefully wipe over the
area to be epilated and wait approximately
30 seconds before you start epilating. The
wipes leave your skin feeling cool and
fresh.

•

Your skin must be dry and free from grease
or cream.

•

Before use, always make sure that epilation
head is clean.

•

Always make sure that the epilation head
(2) is provided with a cap.

•

To change caps, press their lateral ribs and
pull off.

•

To change heads, press the release button
(5).

How to epilate

1 Turning on

Press one of the lock keys and turn the

•
switch clockwise to setting 2 (optimum
setting). For reduced speed, choose
setting 1 (soft setting).
The SmartLight comes on instantly

•
and shines as long as the appliance is
switched on. It reproduces an almost
daylight condition, thus revealing even
the finest hair and giving you a better
control for improved epilation efficiency.

2 How to guide the appliance

Always stretch your skin when epilating.

•
Always make sure that the epilation area

•
between the massaging rollers is in
contact with your skin.
The pivoting caps automatically adapt to

•
the contour of your skin.
Guide the appliance in a slow, continu-

•
ous movement without pressure against
the hair growth, in the direction of the
switch. As hair can grow in different
directions, it may also be helpful to
guide the appliance in different direc­tions to achieve optimum results. The
pulsating movement of the massaging
rollers stimulate and relax the skin for a
gentler epilation.
If you are used to the sensation of

•
epilation and prefer a faster way of
removing hair, attach the Efficiency cap
(1b) replacing the massage system (1a).

3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an

upward direction. When epilating behind
the knee, keep the leg stretched out
straight.

4 Underarm and bikini line epilation
Please be aware that especially at the

beginning, these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. With repeated usage
the pain sensation will diminish. For more
comfort, ensure that the hair is at the
optimum length of 2-5 mm.

Before epilating, thoroughly clean the

respective area to remove residues (like
deodorant). Then carefully dab dry with
a towel. When epilating the underarm,
keep your arm raised up so that the skin
is stretched and guide the appliance in
different directions. As skin may be more

8

sensitive directly after epilation, avoid
using irritating substances such as deo­dorants with alcohol.

Cleaning the epilation head

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance.
Regular cleaning ensures better performance.
Brush cleaning:
5 Remove the cap and brush it out.
6 Thoroughly clean the tweezers from the

rear side of the epilator head with the
brush dipped into alcohol. While doing so,
turn the tweezer element manually. This
cleaning method ensures best hygienic
conditions for the epilation head.

Cleaning under running water:
7 Remove the cap. Hold the appliance with

the epilation head under running water.
Then press the release button (5) to
remove the epilation head (2).

Thoroughly shake both, the epilation

head and the appliance to make sure that
remaining water can drip out. Leave both
parts to dry. Before reattaching, make sure
that they are completely dry.

For electric specifications, please see printing
on the special cord set. The special cord set
automatically adapts to any worldwide AC
voltage.

A propos de l’épilation

Toutes les méthodes d’épilation à la racine
peuvent entraîner la repousse de certains
poils sous la peau et des irritations (comme
des démangeaisons, de l’inconfort ou des
rougeurs corporelles), dépendant de l’état de
la peau et des poils.
Ces réactions sont normales et devraient
rapidement disparaître, mais elles peuvent
être accentuées si vous vous épilez pour
les premières fois ou si vous avez la peau
sensible. L’utilisation des lingettes pré­épilation vous aidera à prévenir toute irritation.

Si après 36 heures, la peau est toujours
irritée, nous vous conseillons de contacter
votre médecin. En général, les réactions de la
peau et l’inconfort s’atténuent considérable­ment au fur et à mesure des épilations avec
Silk·épil.
