Epilation

Epilation Tips

If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have not epilated for a longer period of time, it may take a short time for your skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort experienced in the beginning will decrease considerably with repeated use as the skin adapts to the process.

When epilating for the first time, it is advisable to epilate in the evening, so that any possible reddening can disappear overnight. To relax the skin, we recommend applying a moisture cream after epilation.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is between 2 and 5 mm (0.02 – 0.2 in). If hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can trim the hairs to 5 mm in length.

Fine, regrowing hairs might not grow up to the skin’s surface. The regular use of massage sponges (e.g. after showering) or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent in-grown hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.

• Dry Usage: Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
• Wet Usage: The appliance can be used on wet skin, even under running water. Make sure that the skin is very moist in order to achieve optimum gliding condi­tions for the appliance.

How to epilate

Make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and provided with a cap (1a or 1 b).

1. Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation, and speed «II» for an efficient epilation.
2. Always stretch your skin when epilating. Make sure that the epilation area is in close contact with your skin.

Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous movement without pressure against the hair growth, in the direction of the switch. As the hair can grow in different directions, it may also be helpful to guide the appli­ance in different directions to achieve optimal results. The massage cap (1 a) ensures the best skin comfort during epila­tion. If you are used to the sensation of epilation, you may replace the massage cap with the skin contact cap (1 b) which provides a closer skin contact and an improved adaptation to all body areas. Whenever the SensoSmart™ light shines red, this is to remind you not to press too hard.

Leg Epilation

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight. Underarm and bikini line epilation In sensitive areas, we recommend using the skin contact cap (1b).

Please be aware that especially at the beginning, these areas are particularly pain-sensitive. Therefore, we recom­mend that you select the speed setting «I» for the first few times. With repeated usage, the pain sensation will diminish. Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residues (like deodorant). When epilating the under­arm, keep your arm raised up so that the skin is stretched and guide the appliance in different directions. As skin may be more sensitive directly after epilation, avoid using irritating substances such as deodorants with alcohol.

Facial Epilation

For removing any unwanted hair from the face, use the epilation head (2) with the (8) facial cap attached. For the first few usages, we recommend that you select the speed setting «I» in order to get used to the epilation sensation in those sensitive areas.

Prior to epilation, we recommend clean­ing the skin with alcohol to promote good hygiene. When epilating the face, stretch the skin with one hand and slowly guide the epilator with your other hand in the direction of the switch.

Cleaning the epilation head Regular cleaning ensures better per­formance.

• Brush Cleaning: Remove the cap and brush it out. Thoroughly clean the epilator head from the rear side with the brush dipped into alcohol. While doing so, turn the tweezer element manually. This cleaning method ensures the best hygienic conditions for the epilation head.

• Cleaning Under Running Water: After each wet usage, clean the appliance under running water. Remove the cap. Hold the appliance with the epilation head under hot running water. Then press the release button (6) to remove the epilation head. Thoroughly shake both, the epilation head and the appliance to make sure that the remaining water can drip out. Leave both parts to dry. Before reattaching, make sure that they are completely dry.

General Information On Epilation

All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to ingrown 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 from 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), varicose veins, around moles, reduced immunity of the skin, e.g. diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy, Raynaud’s disease, hemophilia, Candida or immune deficiency.

How To Use The Shaver Head

The shaver head (9) is designed for a fast and close shave of legs, underarms, and bikini line, contour trimming, and cutting hair to 5 mm in length. With the shaver head attached, use the appliance only on dry skin and with the speed setting «||»

• Shaving: select.
• Contour trimming: select .
• Trimming hair to 5 mm length: select and put on the trimmer cap (I).
• Cleaning: Do not clean the shaver foil (I) with the brush as this may damage the foil.

The shaving parts need to be lubricated regularly every 3 months.

Replace the foil frame (II) and cutter block (III) when you notice a reduced shaving performance. Replacement parts can be obtained from your retailer, Braun Customer Service Centers, or via service.braun.com. Do not shave with a damaged foil.
