The high-precision epilation system of the Silk·épil SuperSoft Plus is specially designed for a fast 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. Additionally, the soothing attachment makes the epilation process more gentle. It provides a pleasant tickle, thus masking the epilation feeling. Read these use instructions carefully and completely before using the appliance. Important All methods of hair removal at the roots can lead to minor skin injuries and in-growing hairs. All micro-injuries caused by plucking hairs may lead to inflammation through the penetration of bacteria into the skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance over the skin). Thoroughly cleaning the tweezer head before each use minimizes the risk of infection. Depending on the condition of your skin and hairs, you may experience some irritation (e.g. feeling of pain, skin reddening) when you start using the product. When removing hairs at root level, this is a normal reaction that will quickly disappear again. If, after 36 hours, your skin still shows irritations, we recommend to contact your physician. In general, the skin reactions and the sensation of pain tend to diminish considerably with the repeated use of Silk·épil. 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 – haemophilia or immune deficiency.

However, the pain sensation will diminish with repeated usage. For this specific application, we would like to give the following advice:
• Before epilating, thoroughly clean under your arm to remove any deodorant residue. Carefully dry under your arms with a towel using a dabbing action to avoid skin irritations.

Apply the Silk·épil at right angles (90°) against your skin. For best epilation results, make sure that the soothing attachment wheels always keep in contact with the skin surface. Pressing gently, guide it slowly against the direction of hair growth. Do not press too hard. On bony parts, we recommend to use a lower switch setting. 3 When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight; when epilating underarm, your arm should be raised up. 5303400_AMEE_S.6-64 Seite 11 Mittwoch, 26.
