As the hairs are removed by the root, epilation may cause some skin discomfort the first few times you use the epilator.

Cleaning For a good and smooth epilating result, it is essential that you clean the epilating head after each use. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance ensure optimal results and a long life for your appliance. Make sure the appliance and adapter do not get wet. Do not use the epilating head on irritated skin or skin with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles (with hairs) or wounds without consulting your doctor first. During pregnancy, or people who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor first. Using an epilator may cause reddening or irritation of the skin. This is a normal reaction that will quickly disappear. However, you should consult your doctor if the irritation has not disappeared within three days. Regular massages with a massaging glove or loofah may help to prevent ingrowing hairs. To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running appliance away from your hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords, brushes, etc. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
