Our products are engineered to meet the
highest standards of quality, functionality
and design. We hope you thoroughly
enjoy using the Braun Silk·épil 3.
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 as
efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its
proven epilation system removes hair at
the root, leaving your skin smooth for
weeks. With the innovative SoftLift
®
tips
and the unique arrangement of tweezers
it provides an extra close epilation for
perfectly smooth skin, allowing to remove
hairs as short as 0.5 mm as well as flat
lying hairs. As the hair that re-grows is fine
and soft, there will be no more stubble.
The massaging rollers clip makes the
epilation ultra gentle. Its pulsating move-
ment stimulates and relaxes the skin to
offset the pulling sensation.

General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the root can
lead to in-growing hair and irritation (e.g.
itching, discomfort and reddening of the
skin) depending on the condition of the
skin and hair.
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 when bacteria penetrate 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 consulta-
tion with a physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin
reactions 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,
