- Your skin may become a little red and irritated the rst few times you use the appliance. This
phenomenon is absolutely normal and quickly disappears. As you use the appliance more often,
your skin gets used to epilation, skin irritation decreases and regrowth becomes thinner and
softer. If the irritation has not disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.

properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on
scientic evidence available today.
Note: Always clean the epilating head of the epilator before rst use.
- When you use the appliance for the rst time, we advise you to try them out on an area with
only light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.
- We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.
- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when
you start epilating.
