Facial epilation
• Before use, make sure your skin and
the epilation head are thoroughly clean.
• Turn on the appliance by sliding the
on/off switch (2) to the left or to the
right. The rotating direction of the
tweezers depends on the direction
you move the switch when turning on.
For best results, make sure that the
tweezers rotate against the direction
of hair growth.
• To become familiar with the appliance
we recommend trying it first on the chin
or near the outer corners of the mouth.
• Hold the appliance with the tweezers
against a section of skin that you keep
stretched with your free hand. Carefully
guide it with gentle pressure against
the direction of hair growth. Do not
press too hard as this may lead to skin
injury. To stretch the upper lip area,
use your tongue to push from below.
• After use, slide the on/off switch to the
«o» (= off) position.
• Carefully clean the epilation head
using the cleaning brush provided. You
may want to dip the brush into ethanol
(70%). Make sure that it is completely
dry before you re-attach it and close it
with the protective cap.
• To relax the skin we recommend
applying a moisturizing cream after
epilation.
• When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so
that any possible reddening can disap-
pear overnight.
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
8
have sensitive skin. If, after 36 hours, the
skin still shows irritation, we recommend
that you contact your physician. In gene-
ral, skin reactions and the sensation of
pain tend to diminish considerably with
the repeated use. In some cases inflam-
mation of the skin could occur when bac-
teria penetrate the skin (e.g. when sliding
the appliance over the skin). Thoroughly
cleaning the epilation head and your skin
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 consulta-
tion 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, koebner
phenomenon, haemophilia or immune
deficiency.
When you begin taking hormones or if you
change the type of hormone medication
(e.g. contraceptive pill), the growth of your
hairs may be influenced due to a change
of your hormone level. This is caused by
the change of hormonal conditions but
not by the appliance.
Facial cleansing
• Pull off the epilator head, attach the
brush adapter (6) and click-in the
cleansing brush (5).
• Moisten your skin and the brush head
lightly with water. You may use the facial
brush as part of your daily cleansing
routine: with soap, cleanser, cleansing
milk, gel or simply with water.
• Turn on the appliance by sliding the
on/off switch (2) to any direction.
• Guide the brush with gentle pressure
and circular motions for approximately
one minute. Avoid the eye area and
hairline.
