General information about
epilation
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. Thoroughly cleaning the
epilation discs 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 and when
removing hairs at root level. This is
a normal reaction that will quickly
disappear.
If, after 48 hours, your skin still
shows irritations, we recommend
you to contact your physician.
In general, the skin reactions and
the sensation of pain tend to
diminish considerably with repeated
use.
If you have any doubts about using
this appliance, please consult your
physician.
In the following cases, this appliance
should only be used after
consultation with a physician.

reactions such as folliculitis
