USE ___________________________________________________
Special features
Your appliance uses micro-massage
technology, which reduces the pain
when hairs are removed to a
minimum.
The appliance thoroughly removes
your hair at the roots and it takes 4
to 6 weeks to grow back.
Remove hair
To achieve the best results it is
advisable to take a hot bath or sho-
wer before use, as this opens the
pores.
Use the loofah sponge
supplied to remove
dry skin from the area where you
want to remove hair. Moisten the
sponge with shower gel or soap
and move it in small circles.
This cleans your hair and makes it
supple, therefore
ideally preparing it for removal.
Ensure your skin is clean,
free of grease and completely dry
before removing the hair.
I
1Remove the protective
cap from the appliance.
2Switch on the appliance using

4The vibrators on the side ensure
unpleasant sensations are
suppressed during hair removal.
5Hold the appliance in your palm
of your hand at a 90° angle to
your skin. Do not exert pressure;
merely touch the surface of the

area concerned with lotion or a
medical skin cream.
7If you have in-growing hairs, take
a bath and use the loofah sponge

the in-grown hairs.
7If you have varicose veins
or other health problems
