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 if you suffer from
varicose veins, rashes, 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 after each use
following CLEANING instructions.
