we recommend applying a moisture
cream after epilation.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is between 2 and 5 mm
(0.02 – 0.2 in). If hairs are longer, we
recommend that you shave first and
epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs after
1 or 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can trim
the hairs to 5 mm length.
Fine, regrowing hairs 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-grown hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.
Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and
free from grease or cream.
Wet usage: The appliance can be used
on wet skin, even under running water.
Make sure that the skin is very moist in
order to achieve optimum gliding condi-
tions for the appliance.
How to epilate
Make sure that the epilation head (2) is
clean and provided with a cap (1a or 1b).
1 Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation,
speed «II» for an efficient epilation.
2 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 appli-
ance in different directions to achieve
optimal results. The massage cap (1a)
ensures best skin comfort during epila-
tion. If you are used to the sensation of
epilation, you may replace the massage
cap with the skin contact cap (1b) which
provides a closer skin contact and an
improved adaptation to all body areas.
Whenever the SensoSmart
red, this is to remind you not to press too
hard.
3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an
upward direction. When epilating behind
the knee, keep the leg stretched out
straight.
4 Underarm and bikini line epilation
The sensitive area cap (8) has been
designed specifically for use in these
areas. Place it onto the epilation head.
Especially at the beginning, these areas
are particularly pain-sensitive. Therefore,
we recommend that you select speed
setting «I» for the first few times. With
repeated usage the pain sensation will
diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residues (like
deodorant). When epilating the under-
arm, 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.
5 Facial epilation
For removing any unwanted hair from the
face, use the epilation head (2) with the
facial cap (9) attached. For the first few
usages, we recommend that you select
speed setting «I» in order to get used to
the epilation sensation in those sensitive
areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend clean-
ing the skin with alcohol to promote good
hygiene. When epilating the face, stretch
the skin with one hand and slowly guide
the epilator with your other hand the
direction of the switch.
6 Cleaning the epilation head
Regular cleaning ensures better per-
formance.
