General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the
root can lead to in-growing hair and
irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort or
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 inflam-
mation 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 minimize
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 or immune deficiency.
Fine, re-growing hair might not grow
up to the skin surface. The regular
use of massage sponges (e.g. after
showering) or exfoliation peelings
help to prevent in-growing hair as
the gentle scrubbing action removes
the upper skin layer and fine hair can
get through to the skin surface.
