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.

This appliance is suitable for

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.

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 (2) without
cap (1).

The shaver head (7) 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.
This appliance is provided with a special

•
cord set with an integrated Safety Extra
Low Voltage power supply. Do not
exchange or manipulate any part of it.
Otherwise there is risk of electric shock.

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.

Preparing for use

•

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 (1).

•

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

•

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

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.

A 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.
