Braun Silk·épil 5 has been designed to

make the removal of unwanted hair as

efficient, gentle and easy as possible.

Its proven epilation system removes hair

at the root, leaving your skin smooth for

weeks. As the hair that re-grows is fine

and soft, there will be no more stubble.

For hygienic reasons, do not

share this appliance with other

as well as to prevent blockage

or damage to the appliance.

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal at the root

can lead to in-growing 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 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

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,

– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.

diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,

Raynaud’s disease, haemophilia,

candida or immune deficiency.

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.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable

when the hair is at the optimum length of

2-5 mm. If hairs are longer, we recom-

mend that you first shave and epilate the

shorter, re-growing hairs a week later.

When epilating for the first time, it is

advisable to epilate in the evening, so

that any possible reddening can disap-

pear overnight. To relax the skin we

recommend applying a moisture cream

Fine hair which re-grows might not grow

up to the skin surface. The regular use of

massage sponges (e.g. after showering)

or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent

in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing

action removes the upper skin layer and

fine hair can get through to the skin

Important: Apply cooling glove to the

same area for no longer than 2 minutes.

Keep away from sunlight. Do not use

gel pack when damaged. Dispose of in

household waste. Do not use if you are

hypersensitive, allergic to the cold, or if

your skin suffers from sensory disturb-

ances, when suffering from cardiac

diseases or arterial circulatory disorders.

The epilation head (2) features Close-

Grip Technology to ensure extra effi-

ciency especially with short hairs: The

40 tweezers always keep close contact

to the skin to remove hairs as short as

grain of sand (0.5 mm). The pivoting

head perfectly adapts to the body

contours for maximum thoroughness.

The high-frequency massaging rollers

(1) stimulate your skin effectively for an

extra gentle epilation.

1 How to operate the appliance

Turn the on/off switch (4) to operate

Turn to position «I» = extra gentle

Turn to position «II» = extra efficient

As long as the appliance is switched

on, the light (3) illuminates the area

to be epilated. This gives you a better

control for improved epilation efficiency.

2 How to guide the appliance

• Always stretch your skin when

• Always 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 hair

can grow in different directions, it

may also be helpful to guide the

appliance in different directions to

achieve optimal results. The pulsat-

ing movements of the massaging

rollers stimulate and relax the skin

for a gentler epilation.

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in

an upward direction. When epilating

behind the knee, keep the leg stretched

4 Underarm and bikini line epilation

For this specific application, the sensi-

tive area cap (7) has been developed

as an optional attachment to be placed

on the epilation head (2).

Please be aware that especially at the

beginning, these areas are particularly

sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recom-

mend you start with switch setting «I».

With repeated usage the pain sensa-

tion will diminish. Before epilating,

thoroughly clean the respective area

to remove residues (like deodorant).

Then carefully dab dry with a towel.

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.

With the facial head (8) attached, your

Silk·épil is perfectly suited for conveni-

ently removing any unwanted hair from

the face or other sensitive areas.

Prior to epilation, we recommend

cleaning the skin with alcohol to pro-

mote 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
