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.
Some useful tips
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
after epilation.
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
surface.
