GENERAL INFORMATION ON EPILATION
TheRemington®Smooth&Silky®Epilatorhasbeendesignedtomake
the removal of unwanted hairs as efficient, gentle and easy as possible.
The curved epilation head is especially designed to fit the contours of your
body.
The rotating tweezers remove hair as short as 0.5mm. The hair is pulled
out by the root.
If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have not epilated for a
long period of time, it may take a short time for you skin to adapt to this
type of hair removal system. The discomfort that you feel at first is
considerably reduced overtime, as your skin adjusts to the process.

normal reaction and will disappear quickly. However you should contact
your doctor if the irritation has not disappeared within 3 days.
All methods of hair removal from the root can result in in-grown hairs
depending on the condition or the skin and the hair. Regular exfoliation
helps to prevent in-grown hairs.
In some cases inflammation of the skin can occur when bacteria penetrate
theskin(whenglidingtheapplianceovertheskin).Thoroughcleansingof
the epilation head after each use will minimise the risk of infection.
