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 X’elle 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 new epilation head with X’pert-épil

2

system features 40 tweezers that are
uniquely arranged to remove more hair
in a single stroke, for unprecedented
efficiency. The SoftLift
the epilation head make sure that even

®

tips integrated in

short hairs (0.5 mm) and flat lying hairs are
removed thoroughly at the root. It comes
with two different clips:

1a

The massaging rollers clip 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. It ensures maximum skin
contact at the optimum usage position
thus enabling more effective hair
removal.

The SmartLight incorporated in the switch
reproduces an almost daylight condition,
thus revealing even the finest hair and
giving you a better control for improved
epilation efficiency.

The shaver head provides a fast and

8

close shave for a quick retouch of
personal body parts.

8

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.

General information on epilation

Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on
legs, but use tests monitors by dermatol­ogists have confirmed that you can also
safely epilate 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

3456788a8b8c8d8e

1a

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.

Some useful tips

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 pre-cut
the hair to this length before epilating,
using the shaver head with the OptiTrim
attachment .

8a

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 that re-grows may not grow up
to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent
in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer
allowing fine hair to get through to the skin
surface.

It is a fact that hair re-growth will be
reduced by 50 % if you remove hairs from
the root regularly at least every 4 weeks
using your Silk·épil.

to the «optimal» setting. For reduced
speed, choose the «soft» setting. The
SmartLight illuminates as long as the
appliance is switched on.

2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For

optimum performance hold the ap­pliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
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.
Both rollers of the massaging rollers
clip should always be kept in contact
with the skin, allowing the pulsating
