Frequently Asked Questions -06/14/2026
Response Notice-Facile
If your Panasonic ES-ED96 epilator won't turn on, here are the points to check in this order:
1. Check the battery charge
The lithium-ion battery must be fully charged before first use. Plug the device into a wall outlet - charging takes about 1 hour. During charging, a red indicator light will turn on and turn off once charging is complete.
2. Check the adapter
Charging is only possible if the adapter is properly plugged into a wall outlet. Before use, unplug the device from the adapter and try to turn on the epilator.
3. Check the ambient temperature
The device does not operate at temperatures around 5 °C or lower. For charging, the recommended temperature is between 15 and 35 °C. If the device has been stored in the cold, wait for it to warm up before testing.
4. First charge after a long period
If your ES-ED96 has not been used for more than 6 months, the first charge may take longer. Allow the device to charge completely before concluding that there is a malfunction.
If the problem persists
Once these checks have been made, if the epilator still does not turn on, contact an authorized Panasonic service center to have the device repaired.

How to use
Epilation head
Areas suitable for epilation
The epilator can be used on the areas.
The epilator can be used on the areas.
Before epilating the bikini-line, be sure to put on your swim wear or underwear etc. and check the areas you wish to epilate.
Using the epilator on areas other than those marked may cause pain or skin trouble.
Areas not suitable for epilation
The epilator should not be used on the inner side of the upper arms and areas such as elbows or knees which are prone to sagging.
WET epilation (epilating after wetting the skin and epilator and then applying foam) makes the skin softer so it is gentler to your skin when epilating. For DRY epilation, begin at step 3. Before DRY epilation, wipe dry any moisture or sweat from the skin.
1 Wet your skin.
2 Wet the discs and place a small quantity of liquid shower gel on the discs.
• Always use shower gel when wet epilating. - Rinse any shower gel out of your hands.
3 Select the mode by pressing the power switch [①②1]. (→ Page 16)
- Foam is created. Foam makes the epilator slide better, so you can move it fast.
- The appliance may not operate in an ambient temperature approximately 5°C or lower.
- Apply the epilator at 90° to your skin and move it slowly so that it slides over your skin.
Upwards from the bottom of the leg. Inwards from the outside of the arm.
Move in several
directions as
underarm/bikini line
hair grows in different
directions.
Stretch the skin with your fingers, and move slowly from inside to outside going against the flow of hair.
Tips for best epilation results
The hair removal is not permanent, so from the 2nd use we recommend that you epilate the underarms about once a week and the arms and legs about once every two weeks.
When epilating for the first time, or when using on sensitive skin, we recommend using the gentle cap.
The gentle cap has a skin protector for gentler epilation, to remove hair by holding the skin down to reduce pain.
- We also recommend to use the SOFT mode rotation.
Reddening might appear after use. A cool towel will help if you feel pain or there is a rash.
If your skin gets dry after epilation, we recommend applying a moisture lotion two days after epilation.
Make sure skin is clean before and after use.
Trim your hair before epilating for the first time or if you have not epilated for a long time. Hair removal is easier and less painful when the hair is short.
Shaver head
WET Shaving with soap lather makes the skin slippery for a closer shave. For DRY shaving, step 3 is unnecessary. Before DRY shaving, wipe dry any moisture or sweat from the skin.
1 Attach the shaver head [H].
- Confirm the bikini comb [G] is detached.
2 Check that the outer foil is not deformed or damaged.
3 Wet your skin and put shower gel on your skin.
- Do not use shaving cream, skin cream or skin lotion as it will clog the blades.
4 Select the mode by pressing the power switch [0⑳]. (→ Page 16)
- Press gently so that the whole blade is in close contact with the skin and the surface of the blade does not move up and down.
Foot care head
The foot care head cannot be used in a bath or shower.
Before use, be sure to fully charge the appliance.
We recommend using the product within 30 minutes after bathing or showering. With the feet clean, wipe off any water on the skin. (Each use should be approximately 10 minutes (5 minutes on each foot, 10 minutes total for both feet))
1 Attach the foot care head [J].
- Push down firmly until you hear a "click".
2 Press the power switch [0②1] once.
- NORMAL mode is recommended for rotation speed. (→ Page 16)
3 Bring the foot care head into contact with the skin, and begin filing.
Filing a single location for a long time can cause it to become hot with friction. To avoid this, be sure to make small changes in the filing position while filing.
Filing should be performed about once every two weeks.
The basics of foot care
Do not use the product for filing anything other than calluses and hardened skin on the feet.
Callus
A callus is a hardened layer that forms through repeated pressure or abrasion.
Filing an area too deeply can cause it to become sore or inflamed.
Filing too large an area can result in even larger calluses forming. Therefore, be sure to leave some of the hardened layer.
Tips for moving the foot care head
Move in the direction indicated by the arrows.
Use your free hand to support filing.
Sonic scrub brush
• We recommend using about once per week. - We recommend using on areas for epilation about 2 days before actual epilation. Exfoliation may help to prevent ingrown hairs.
1 Attach the brush head [N] with sonic scrub brush [L]. (→ Page 16)
- Push down firmly until you hear a “click”.
2 Wet your skin.
- Use shower gel to protect your skin.
3 Pour a small quantity of water and shower gel into the centre of the sonic scrub brush [L].
Rinse any excess shower gel off your hands.
Do not use body scrub paste that contains granular salt or abrasive particles to avoid shortening the lifetime of the appliance.
Use shower gel in the amount indicated by line (a) and water in the amount indicated by line (b) on the protection cap for the sonic scrub brush [K].
4 Select the mode by pressing the power switch [O②]. (→ Page 16)
- Foam is created. Foam protects your skin from over exfoliation.
5 Put the sonic scrub brush onto your skin and begin exfoliation.
- We recommend using on legs, arms (especially elbows and knees) and neckline.
Do not use on sensitive areas of skin or face.
Do not continue to hold in one place. Slide over skin in a circular pattern.
Apply to the same area of skin for approximately 30 seconds each time, check your skin and adjust usage accordingly.
6 Press the power switch to turn off the power.
- Moisturise by applying a moisturiser that suits your skin on the area where the sonic scrub brush was used.
Sonic facial brush
• We recommend using about once per day.
1 Attach the brush head [N] with sonic facial brush [M]. (→ Page 16)
- Push down firmly until you hear a "click".
2 Put a small quantity of facial cleanser onto the sonic facial brush.
- Add the recommended amount as indicated on your facial cleanser product (the amount you normally use).
3 Pour a small quantity of water and make a lather with a facial cleanser by hand.
4 Select the mode by pressing the power switch [◎②]. (→ Page 16)
5 Put the sonic facial brush onto your skin and slide it over the skin.
Do not apply the appliance to the same area for an extended period of time.
As an indication, use this appliance for approximately 1 minute.
You can use this appliance on your neck and upper chest, but do not apply it to your throat.
Do not press the bristles of the sonic facial brush into your skin. Lightly apply the brush to your skin so that the bristles just touch the skin and then wash your face in a circular motion.
If you feel irritation even if you are not pressing the brush into the skin, stop using the brush.
