Braun Silk·épil SoftPerfection Body
System has been designed to make the
removal of unwanted hair as efficient,
gentle and easy as possible. Its proven
epilation system removes your hair at
the root, leaving your skin smooth for
weeks.
• The high-precision epilation head
2 with its unique arrangement of
tweezers is designed to remove hair
efficiently and gently at the root. The
innovative SoftLift™ tips provide an
even closer epilation for smoother
skin, allowing to remove hairs as
short as 0.5 mm as well as flat lying
hairs. And as the hair that re-grows is
fine and soft, there will be no more
stubble.
• The 4-way moving pain softener
1 makes the epilation ultra gentle.
Active, 4-way moving massage
rollers stimulate the skin before and
after the hair is removed to offset the
pulling sensation.
• The shaver head 8 is specially
designed for a fast and close shave
of underarms and bikini line.

General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to epilate hair on
legs, but use tests monitored by der-
matologists have revealed that you can
also epilate the underarm and the bikini
line.
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.
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
