IMPORTANT

The following information and precautions are important
when epilating:

I CAUTION: Methods of removing hair by the root can cause

in-grown hairs and minor skin injuries. Please consult your doctor
if you have any questions about the use of an epilator.

I Do not use the epilator head if you suffer from varicose veins,

spots or blemishes, or when the skin is irritated or if you have
in-grown hairs or a tendency to produce in-grown hairs. Consult
your doctor first.

I Any minor injury resulting from hair removal may allow

bacteria to penetrate the injury site potentially causing
small scars or a change in pigmentation of the skin. The
risk of infection may be minimized by thoroughly cleaning
the rotating discs before and/or after each use. (See
Cleaning section).

I The epilator should only be used after prior consultation with your

doctor if you have or experience:

• Open wounds

• Eczema, psoriasis (scaly eczema), inflamed skin reactions such as
folliculitis, skin rashes or the tendency to allergy or allergic skin
reactions

• Immune deficiency or disorders

• Couperose, rosacea, or varicose veins

• Pregnancy

• Reduced skin immunity as a result of diabetes, pregnancy,

Raynaud’s disease, etc.

• Hemophilia

• If you have moles, raised skin bumps, etc.

I If you have been or begin taking hormone medication, or recently

been pregnant, a change in your hormone levels may influence the
thickness, color or amount of hair growth. This is caused by the
hormonal changes, not by this method of hair removal.

I Clean the epilating head regularly following CLEANING

instructions.
