In the following we would like to familiarize
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 SoftPerfection 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. With the innovative
SoftLift™ tips and the unique arrangement of tweezers it provides an extra
close epilation for perfectly smooth skin,
allowing the removal of hairs as short as
0.5 mm as well as flatlying hairs. As the
hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there
will be no more stubble.
The high-precision epilation head
comes with two different attachments:
1a
The massaging rollers clip which
2
makes the epilation ultra gentle. Its
pulsating movement stimulates and
relaxes the skin to offset the pulling
sensation.
1b
The EfficiencyPro clip provides a
thorough epilation that is now even
faster. Ensuring maximum skin contact
and the optimum usage position, it
allows removal of even more hairs per
stroke.
Important
• For hygienic reasons, do not share this
appliance with other persons.
• 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
8
to prevent blockage or damage to the
appliance.
General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on
legs, but it can also be used on other
sensitive areas like forearms, the underarm or the bikini line.
All methods of hair removal at the root
can lead to ingrown hair and irritation
(e.g. itching, discomfort and reddening
of the skin) depending on the skin and
hair type.
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 by bacteria penetrating 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 reac-
tions 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.
