Useful tips
7The first time you use the
appliance, it may feel slightly
unpleasant, as you are removing
hairs by the roots. This feeling
subsides after several uses, even
if you have sensitive skin.
7The first time you use the epilator,
the results will last four to six
weeks. After each further use,
your hair will grow slower and
thinner.
E
7Hold the appliance with a
relaxed and comfortable grip.
Do not exert any pressure. For
your safety, the appliance slows
down or stops if you press too
hard on your skin.
7If your skin reddens or is irritated
after use, rub lotion or medical
skin cream on the affected area.
7If you have varicose veins or
other health problems, you must
consult your doctor before use.
7For reasons of hygiene, the appli-
ance may only be used by one
