In the following we would like to familiarize
you with the appliance and provide some
useful information about epilation. Please
read the use instructions carefully and
thoroughly before using the appliance.
Braun Silk·épil 3 has been designed to
make the removal of unwanted hair
efficient, gentle and easy. Its epilation
system removes hair at the root, leaving
your skin smooth for about 19 days.
With the innovative SoftLift
the unique arrangement of tweezers it
provides an extra close epilation for
perfectly smooth skin, allowing the removal
of hairs as short as 0.5 mm as well as
flatlying hairs. As the hair that re-grows
is fine and soft, there will be no more
stubble.

General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on
legs, but it can also be used on other
sensitive areas like forearms, the under-
arm or the bikini line.
All methods of hair removal at the root
can lead to ingrown hair and irritation
(e.g. itching, discomfort and reddening
of the skin) depending on the skin and
hair type.

tips and
This is a normal reaction and should
quickly disappear, but may be stronger
when you are removing hair at the root for
the first few times or if you have sensitive
skin.
If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows
irritation, we recommend that you contact
your physician.
In general, the skin reaction and the sen-
sation of pain tend to diminish consider-
ably with the repeated use of Silk·épil.
In some cases, inflammation of the skin
could occur by bacteria penetrating the
skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance over
the skin). Thorough cleaning of the epila-
tion head before each use will minimise
the risk of infection.
If you have any doubts about using this
appliance, please consult your physician.
In the following cases, this appliance
should only be used after prior consul-
tation with a physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin reac-
tions such as folliculitis (purulent hair
follicles) and varicose veins
– around moles
– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.
diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,
Raynaud's disease
– haemophilia or immune deficiency.
Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length
of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are
longer, we recommend that you pre-cut
the hair to this length before epilating.
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so that
any possible reddening can disappear
overnight. To relax the skin we recom-
mend applying a moisture cream after
epilation.
