appliance across the skin against the direction of hair growth in a slow, continuous movement
without exerting any pressure.
- On some areas, hair may grow in different directions. In this case, it may be helpful to move the
appliance in different directions to achieve optimal results.
- If you sweat during epilation, dab your skin dry with a soft cloth.
- When you use the optimal performance cap, make sure that both rollers of the hair
primer always stay in contact with the skin to ensure an optimal result.
- When you use the active hairlifter with active massage, make sure the active massaging roller
and the active hairlifter always stay in contact with the skin. The massaging roller stimulates and
relaxes the skin for gentler epilation.
after epilation
- To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately after epilation or a
few hours after epilation, depending on what is better for your skin.
- Regular use of an exfoliating sponge or cream (e.g. during showering) 24 hours after epilation
helps to prevent ingrowing hair, as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin surface.
using the epilator
Epilating the legs with the epilator
- If you already have some experience with epilation, you can simply use the epilating head with
the basic epilation cap.
- If you are not used to epilation, we advise you to start epilating with the optimal performance
cap. This cap ensures optimal skin contact and its pivoting head stretches the skin and prepares
the hairs for epilation.
- If your hairs lie flat on your skin, we advise you to use the active hairlifter with active massage.
The active hairlifter with active massage not only lifts up the hairs but its active massaging roller
also minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.
Note: Remove the basic epilation cap before you attach the optimal performance cap or the active
hairlifter with active massage.
1 Squeeze both sides of the basic epilation cap (1) and pull it off the appliance (2) (Fig. 8).
2 Put the desired attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 9).
Note: The procedure for placing the attachments onto the appliance is the same for all attachments.
3 Press the on/off button once to switch on the epilator.
, The epilator starts running at speed II, which is the most efficient speed for epilation. The
bottom speed setting indication II lights up (Fig. 10).
, If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second time. The top speed setting
indication I lights up (Fig. 11).
Tip: Speed I is suitable for areas with little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for areas where
bones are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles.
, When you press the on/off button a third time, the epilator switches off.
4 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright.
5 Place the epilating head at an angle of 90° onto the skin with the on/off button pointing in
the direction in which you are going to move the appliance (Fig. 12).
6 Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the direction of hair growth.
- When you use the optimal performance cap, make sure that both rollers of the hair primer
always stay in contact with the skin to ensure an optimal result.
