Silk·épil SuperSoft Plus Body System

A Epilation

is equipped with two different head attachments for epilating and shaving.

The high-precision epilator head is specially designed for a comfortable and longlasting hair removal. Even very short hairs (0.5 mm in length) will thoroughly be removed at the root. In general, regrowing hairs will become finer and thinner. Additionally, the soothing attachment makes the epilation process more gentle. It provides a pleasant tickle, thus masking the epilation feeling.

The shaver head is perfectly suited for fast and thorough hair removal in delicate body areas, i.e. underarm or bikini line.

Read these use instructions carefully

and completely before using the appliance.

Important

• This appliance must never be used in the vicinity of or over water (e.g. a filled wash basin, bathtub or shower).

• Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.

• Before use, check whether your voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the transformer. Always use the 12 V transformer, type PI-41-77 D-1.

Description

Ö Ü á

à â ä ã å ç é è

All methods of hair removal at the roots can lead to minor skin injuries and in-growing hairs. All micro-injuries caused by plucking hairs may lead to inflammation through the penetration of bacteria into the skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance over the skin). Thoroughly cleaning the tweezer head before each use minimizes the risk of infection.

Depending on the condition of your skin and hairs, you may experience some irritation (e.g. feeling of pain, skin reddening) when you start using the product. When removing hairs at root level, this is a normal reaction that will quickly disappear again.

If, after 36 hours, your skin still shows irritations, we recommend to contact

your physician.

In general, the skin reactions and the sensation of pain tend to diminish considerably with the repeated use of Silk·épil.

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.

• Silk·épil is designed to remove

hair on legs, but can also be used

on all sensitive areas like arms,

underarms or at the bikini line.

For this specific application, we would like to give the following advice:

• Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residue (like deodorant). Then dry carefully with a towel using a dabbing action to avoid skin irritations.

• Hair should not be longer than 5 mm.

• After use, apply Silk·épil cream or baby powder (don’t use alcoholic deodorants).

How to operate your Silk·épil

Before starting off, make sure that the epilator head is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.

• 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.

Underarm and bikini line epilation

Use tests monitored by dermatologists have shown that the epilator head may as well be used underarm and at the bikini line. Be aware that this area is particularly sensitive to pain. However, the pain sensation will diminish with repeated usage.

• Plug the cord connector into the socket and plug the transformer into an electrical outlet.

Some useful tips

• For the first use or if not having

epilated for a long time, we recom-

mend to first shave longer hairs. After 1-2 weeks, the regrowing, short hairs are much easier to epilate.

• In the beginning, it is advisable to epilate in the evening, so that any

possible reddening can disappear

overnight.

Hair is easier to remove after bath-

• ing or showering (but remember

your skin must be completely dry).

• After epilating, we recommend applying Silk·épil cream or another moisture cream to relax the skin and relieve slight skin irritations.

Cleaning the epilator head

After each use, unplug the appliance. Take off the soothing attachment and brush out the rows of wheels.

Thoroughly clean the tweezer element with the cleaning brush and also disinfect it with a few drops of Silk·épil cleaning fluid or alcohol. While cleaning, you can turn the tweezer element manually. To take off the epilator head, press the two release bars on the front and back and pull it off.

Give the top of the housing a quick clean with the brush. Put back on the epilator head.

• It may happen that regrowing fine hairs do not manage to get through to the skin surface. In order to prevent the risk of ingrowing hairs, we recommend the regular use of massage sponges (e.g. after showering) or exfoliation peelings. By a gentle scrubbing action, the upper skin layer is removed and fine hairs can get through to the skin surface.
