OVERVIEW ________________________________________
Special features
Your device is suitable for any type
of hair. The patented innovative
rotating head removes even the
shortest of hairs of 0.5 mm or more.
The device will remove your hair
right down to the root for four to six
weeks.
To prepare for epilation, you can
trim longer hairs with the
interchangeable shaving head.
Thanks to its interchangeable shav-
ing head, the device can also be
used as a lady shaver. It is particu-
larly suited to sensitive places such
as armpits or the bikini area.
A responsible approach!

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.
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
person.
