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 moisturizing cream after epilation.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is between 0.5–5 mm

long. If hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and let the hair

grow back to at least 0.5 mm length.

Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.

Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist in order to achieve optimum

gliding conditions for the appliance.

Make sure that the epilation head (2) is attached and provided with the

High-Frequency Massage System (1).

A Select speed «I» for gentle epilation, speed «II» for efficient epilation.

B 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 hair can grow in different directions, it may

also be helpful to guide the appliance in different directions to achieve

optimal results. The High Frequency Massage System ensures best skin

comfort during epilation.

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward direction. When

epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.

D Underarm and bikini line epilation

Especially during the first applications these areas are particularly

sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recommend that you select speed «I» for

the first few epilation processes.

With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish. For more comfort,

ensure that the hair is at the optimum length of 0,5–5 mm.

SE7921_Airline_S6-64.indd 14SE7921_Airline_S6-64.indd 14 22.03.13 12:0622.03.13 12:0615

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.

E Cleaning the epilation head

1 Cleaning with the cleaning brush (9):

Remove the cap and brush it out. Thoroughly clean the tweezers from

the rear side of the epilator head with the brush dipped into alcohol.

While doing so, turn the tweezer element manually. This cleaning

method ensures best hygienic conditions for the epilation head.

2 Cleaning under running water:

After each wet usage, clean the appliance under running water. Remove

the cap and hold the appliance with the epilation head under hot

running water. Then press the release button (6) to remove the epilation

head. Shake the appliance and the epilation head to remove excess

water and leave both parts to thoroughly dry out before re-assembling.

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to 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 con-

siderably 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, haemophilia, candida or immune deficiency.

The exfoliation brush (8a) has been developed for full body usage,

especially for legs, arms and décolletage. It has not been designed for

usage in the face. The gentle brushing action with more than 3000

micro-vibrations per minute effectively removes dry skin cells for a visibly

improved skin appearance.

You can use the exfoliation brush on a weekly basis on dry or wet skin

during your shower routine. However, when using it in the bathtub, do not

immerse it fully in water since this will not provide optimal exfoliation results.

Using the brush on wet skin provides 4 times better exfoliation results than

a manually applied cosmetic exfoliation product alone.

For best exfoliation results, extra comfort and a pampering experience, we

recommend to use the brush on wet skin with your preferred body scrub

Click the exfoliation brush (8a) onto to the brush adapter (8).

Click the brush adapter onto the appliance.

A Select speed «I» for sensitive skin areas, speed «II» for normal skin.

B Slowly guide the exfoliation brush in circular movements over your skin

to gently refine it. Avoid holding the brush on the same skin area for

prolonged time. Do not use the exfoliation brush on your face.

The regular use of the exfoliation brush (e.g. once a week) helps

minimizing the risk of ingrown hairs: Dead skin cells are removed so

that fine, re-growing hairs can easily get through to the skin surface.

We recommend that you exfoliate at least 1–2 days before you want to

C Cleaning the exfoliation brush

After use, rinse the exfoliation brush under running water.

If needed, you may use some liquid soap to thoroughly clean it.

Shake the brush to remove excess water and leave it to dry.

Attach the protective cover (8b) before storing the brush.

D Replacing the exfoliation brush

With weekly use, we recommend that you replace the brush unit (8a)

after 12 months. Brush refills (ref. no. 79 Spa) are available from your

retailer or Braun Service Centres or via www.service.braun.com.
