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.

The epilation head features a special
arrangement of 40 tweezers and SoftLift® tips
for great efficiency. Thanks to its pivoting
feature, it ideally adapts to the body contours,
for effective short hair removal and thorough­ness. The massage system (1a) stimulates
the skin before and soothes it after the hair is
pulled out to reduce the pain sensation.

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.

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.

The Efficiency cap (1b) for fast epilation
ensures maximum skin contact, always
taking care of the optimum usage position
thanks to its pivoting feature.

The shaver head (8) is specially designed for
a fast and close shave of underarms and
bikini line/zone.

Important

For hygienic reasons, do not share this

•

appliance with other persons.
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 (2) without a

•

cap (1).

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 (0.08 – 0.2 in.). 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.

The green charging light (5a) flashes to

•

show that the epilator is being charged.

When the battery is fully charged, the

charging light shines permanently. Once

fully charged, use the appliance without

cord.

When the red low-charge light (5b) flashes,

•

reconnect the appliance to an electrical

outlet via the special cord set to recharge

it.

A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of

•

cordless operation time. Maximum battery

capacity will only be reached after several

charging/discharging cycles.

The best environmental temperature for

•

charging is between 41 °F and 95 °F.

As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely

•

event of the appliance overheating, the

charging lights may flash (red/green). After

cooling down, the appliance will continue

charging with the green charging light

flashing.

Charging

Before use, charge the appliance. For best

Getting prepared for …

… dry usage

Make sure your skin is dry and free from
grease or cream.

… wet usage

The appliance can be used on wet skin, even
under running water. Make sure that the skin
is very moist in order to achieve optimum
gliding conditions for the appliance.
Additionally, you may apply some shower gel
to the moist skin for results that will leave
your skin beautifully soft and smooth after
wet epilation.

Before use, always make sure that epilation

•
head is clean.
Always make sure that the epilation head
