Introduction
◗With your new Satinxice optima you can
remove unwanted hairs quickly, easily and
effectively.The combination of the proven
epilating disc system with the newly
developed skin cooler constitutes a revolution
in epilation.Thanks to the natural numbing
effect of ice on the skin, the new Satinxice
optima makes epilation more comfortable and
less painful than ever.The result is a silky-
smooth skin and a reduced hairgrowth up to
50 percent assuming you use it regularly every
4 weeks.
◗The Satinxice optima is particularly suitable
for the legs.Type HP6459, HP6457 also comes
with a skin cooler that has been specially
developed for epilating sensitive areas
(underarms, bikini line).These areas are
particularly sensitive to pain, which this special
skin cooler helps to diminish.
◗The rapidly rotating epilating discs catch even
the shortest hairs (0.5 millimetres!) and pull
them out by the roots.As a result, your skin
stays smooth for up to four weeks and
regrowth is soft and downy.
Important
◗Check if the mains voltage indicated on the
adapter plug corresponds to the local mains
voltage before you connect the appliance.
◗Only use the appliance in combination with
the adapter plug supplied.

your doctor first. People with a reduced
immune response, e.g. during pregnancy, or

General information about epilation
- Epilation can lead to ingrown hairs or minor
skin injuries, which may cause inflammations
due to penetration of bacteria into the skin. It is
therefore important to clean the epilating head
very carefully before each use.
- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or
shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry
when you start epilating.
ENGLISH 7

- When you epilate for the first time, we advise
you to try the appliance out on an area with
only light hair growth to get accustomed to the
epilation process.
- After epilation you can apply a mild cream or
body milk to soothe your skin and reduce skin
irritation.
- We advise you to epilate in the evening, as this
will allow any skin irritation that may develop to
disappear overnight.
- Your skin may become a little red and irritated
the first few times you use the epilator.This
phenomenon is absolutely normal and will
quickly disappear. As you use the appliance
more often, your skin will get used to epilation,
skin irritation will decrease and regrowth will
become thinner and softer. If the irritation has
not disappeared within three days, we advise
you to consult a doctor.
- Using the peeling head regularly improves skin
appearance and reduces the risk of ingrown
hairs. Do not use the peeling head immediately
before or after epilation.
