How to use
Epilation head
The epilation head for legs/arms should be used only for legs/ arms. The epilation head for underarms/bikini-line should be used only for underarms/bikini-line.
Areas suitable for epilation
Areas the epilation head for legs/arms can be used.
Areas the epilation head for underarms/bikini-line can be used. Before epilating the bikini-line, be sure to put on your swim wear or underwear etc. and check the areas you wish to epilate.
• Using the epilator on areas other than those marked areas may cause pain or skin trouble.
13
English
ES-EL8A
Areas not suitable for epilation
The epilator should not be used on the inner side of the upper arms and areas such as elbows or knees which are prone to sagging.
WET epilation (epilating after wetting the skin and epilator and then applying foam) makes the skin softer so it is gentler to your skin when epilating. For DRY epilation, begin at step 3. Before DRY epilation, wipe dry any moisture or sweat from the skin.
Wet your skin.

Wet the discs and place a

• Rinse any shower gel out of your hands.

<Usage frequency>
ES-EL8A
ES-EL8A
The hair removal is not permanent, so from the second use, it is recommended to epilate the underarms about once a
week, and the bikini-line about once every two weeks. <For beginners/those with sensitive skin>
Using the gentle cap that comes with the skin guard is
recommended for people using the epilator for the rst time
or for those with sensitive skin. The gentle cap has a skin protector for gentler epilation, to remove hair by holding the skin down to reduce pain.
• We also recommend to use the SOFT mode rotation. Page 13)

2. Attach the gentle cap [
<Tips for best epilation results>
• Massaging with a body puff may help to prevent ingrown
hairs.
• Reddening might appear after use. A cool towel will help if
you feel pain or there is a rash.
• If your skin gets dry after epilation, we recommend applying
a moisture lotion two days after epilation.
• Make sure skin is clean before and after use.
<Best hair length for epilation>
Trim your hair before epilating for the rst time or if you have
not epilated for a long time. Hair removal is easier and less painful when the hair is short.

The basics of foot care
Do not use the product for ling anything
other than calluses and hardened skin on the feet.

Callus
A callus is a hardened layer that forms
ע
through repeated pressure or abrasion.
Hardened layer Epidermis Derma
Things to be careful of when ling
• Filing too large an area can result in even larger calluses forming.
Therefore, be sure to leave some of the hardened layer. Before use After use
ע
• Filing a single location for a long time can cause it to become hot with friction.
To avoid this, be sure to make small changes in the ling
position while ling.
• Filing an area too deeply can cause it to become sore or inamed.
• Filing should be performed about once every two weeks.
