General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to in-growing hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort, or 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 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
- hemophilia or immune
Fine, re-growing hair might not grow up to the skin surface. The regular use of massage sponges (e.g. after showering) or exfoliation peelings help to prevent in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.
