General Information on Epilation
All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to ingrown hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort or reddening of the skin), depending on the condition of the skin and hair type. 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 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 deficiency.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair has an optimal length of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in). If hairs are longer, we recommend that you precut the hair to this length before epilating.
Fine hair which regrows might not grow up to the skin’s 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.

How to Epilate
- Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
- Before use, make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and provided with the massaging rollers attachment.
To turn on the appliance, slide up the on/off switch (4):
- Setting I: extra gentle
- Setting II: extra efficient
When switched on, the switch light illuminates the area to be epilated. Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For optimal performance, hold the appliance at a right angle (90°) against your skin and guide it without pressure against the hair growth, in the direction of the switch. The massaging rollers (1) stimulate the skin before and after the hair is pulled out for an extra gentle epilation experience.
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
Please be aware that especially at the beginning these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recommend that you start with switch setting
I. With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the area to remove residue (like
deodorant). Carefully dab the area dry with a towel. When epilating the
underarm, keep your arm raised up and guide the appliance in different
directions.
Cleaning
After epilating, unplug the appliance, remove the massaging rollers, and clean the epilation head (2). Thoroughly clean the tweezer element with the cleaning brush dipped into alcohol. While cleaning, you can turn the tweezer element manually. To remove the epilation head, press the release buttons (3) on the left and right and pull it off. After cleaning, place the epilation head and the massaging rollers back on the housing. Subject to change without notice.
