Thorough cleaning of the epilation head before each use will minimize 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
or immune deficiency.
Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum
length of 2–5 mm. 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 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.
