• The high-precision epilation head
2 is specially designed for a
comfortable and long-lasting hair
removal. Even very short hairs
(0.5 mm in length) will thoroughly
be removed at the root. In general,
regrowing hairs will become finer
and thinner.
• The underarm epilation head B
is perfectly suited to follow the con-
tours of delicate body parts such as
under the arms and the bikini lines.
A reduced number of tweezers
and the narrow design, specifically
adapted to these body areas, im-
prove the handling and ensure a
particularly gentle epilation in these
areas.
Important
• This appliance must never be used

product.
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
over the skin). Thorough cleaning of the
epilation head before each use will
minimise the risk of infection.
If you have any doubts about using this
appliance, please consult your physi-
cian. In the following cases, this ap-
pliance 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.
