Epilation tips

6. Check the skin is tight in the area of application. Pay particular attention to
places in which there may be skin folds, e.g. extend the leg when you
remove hair from the back of the knee. Stretch the skin with your free hand
so that the hairs stand up or use the hair lifter
knob upwards with your thumb using light pressure until it engages.
7. Hold the unit in your hollow hand in such a way that it can be guided
against the hair growth direction, with or without the extended hair lifter.
The switch side of the unit (MEDISANA logo) should be pointing away from
you during this.
8. Place the epilating head
the epilating tweezers just touch your skin. Use short, sliding strokes. Work
gently; do not press the unit to the skin.
NOTE
For your protection, the MEDISANA EPG epilator may slow down
or even stop completely, if you press it too firmly onto your skin.
9. Repeat this process until you are satisfied with the epilation result.
10. After use switch off the unit and disconnect the mains adapter from the
socket.
11. Clean the unit before you use it again; see 4.1 Cleaning and Main-
tenance on p. 7.
12. Store the unit in the bag supplied when you are not using it.

BEFORE USE

Epilation is easier and more comfortable if the hairs to be removed are between
2 and 5 mm long. Leg hair to be removed may be longer than 5 mm.
If the hair is longer, it is recommended to first shave the area concerned and
then to epilate the regrowing shorter hairs 1 - 2 weeks later.
To prepare the skin best for epilation, you can exfoliate the skin with a luffa or
massage sponge whilst bathing or showering before use of the unit.
This softens the skin, brings ingrowing hairs, if any, gently to the surface and
also removes dead skin cells.
THE FACE
The unit is suitable for the removal of unwanted hairs from the face. It re-
moves even single hairs from upper lip, chin and cheeks.
Particular care should be used on the upper lip by pulling the skin particularly
tightly and pulling the upper lip slightly downwards using the fingers.
The unit must not be used on forehead, eyelashes and eyebrows.
UNDER THE ARM
The epilator can be used for gentle trimming under the arms. Carefully shorten
long hair with scissors or a beard trimmer.
Stretch your arm out during epilating so that the skin is tight.
