FAQs

Is epilation painful?

For first-time users, epilation can cause some discomfort as hairs are pulled from the root. However, using the Silk-pil 7 in the shower or bath (wet epilation) can significantly reduce this sensation. With regular use, your skin adapts, and the discomfort typically lessens considerably.

How often do I need to epilate?

Thanks to its ability to remove hair from the root, you typically only need to epilate every 3 to 4 weeks. This can vary based on individual hair growth cycles.

Can I use the Braun Silk-pil 7-030 on my face?

The Silk-pil 7 series is primarily designed for body hair removal. While some sensitive area caps might allow for precise use, generally, specific facial epilators or more gentle methods are recommended for delicate facial skin. Consult your user manual for specific guidance.

How do I clean my epilator?

After each use, turn off and detach the epilation head. Rinse it under warm running water. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any trapped hairs from between the tweezers. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling and storing.

What is the 'Wet & Dry' feature?

The 'Wet & Dry' feature means your epilator is 100% waterproof. You can safely and effectively use it in the shower or bath with water, which helps to relax the skin and open pores, making epilation more gentle and comfortable.

What is SensoSmart Technology?

SensoSmart Technology is an intelligent guiding system. A red light illuminates if you are pressing too hard, indicating that you should ease up the pressure. This ensures optimal contact with the skin and effective hair removal without unnecessary irritation.

Will epilation make my hair grow back thicker?

No, epilation removes hair from the root, which does not affect the hair follicle's ability to produce hair. In fact, many users report that over time, regrowth becomes finer, softer, and less noticeable compared to shaving.

Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on or hold a charge.

Ensure the device is fully charged using the original charger and power cord. Check if the power outlet is functioning. If the issue persists, the battery may need servicing.

Experiencing excessive pain or discomfort during epilation.

Use the epilator in the shower or bath with warm water to soften the skin. Ensure skin is taut. Start with a slow speed setting. Discomfort typically decreases with regular use as skin adapts. Apply a soothing lotion afterward.

Hair seems to be breaking instead of being removed from the root.

Ensure you are moving the epilator slowly against the direction of hair growth. Do not press too hard; let the SensoSmart light guide your pressure. Ensure the epilator head is clean and free of debris. Ensure hairs are not too long; trim them if necessary to about 2-5mm.

Developing ingrown hairs after epilation.

Implement a regular exfoliation routine (2-3 times a week) to remove dead skin cells that can trap hair. Moisturize your skin daily to keep it supple. Use a loofah or exfoliating glove. Always epilate on clean skin.

Skin appears red or irritated after use.

This is a common temporary reaction. Apply a cool compress or a soothing, alcohol-free lotion (like aloe vera). Ensure your skin was clean before epilating. Avoid hot showers or tight clothing immediately after epilation.

Epilator is making unusual noises or vibrating excessively.

Clean the epilator head thoroughly, removing any trapped hairs. Ensure all attachments are correctly secured. If the noise persists, it may indicate a mechanical issue, and professional servicing might be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Initial Charge: Before first use, fully charge your Braun Silk-pil 7 Epilator - 7-030. This typically takes about 1 hour and provides up to 50 minutes of cordless use. A fully charged battery ensures consistent power throughout your epilation session.
  2. Attaching Heads: Ensure the desired epilator head or cap is securely clicked into place before turning on the device.

Compatibility

  • The Braun Silk-pil 7 Epilator - 7-030 is a standalone personal care device. It is compatible with standard household electrical outlets for charging (voltage information usually on the charger). No specific software or external device compatibility is required.
  • It is designed for use on various body areas, including legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line. Always refer to the user manual for specific area recommendations.

Care

  1. Cleaning the Epilator Head: After each use, turn off the device and detach the epilation head. Rinse it thoroughly under warm running water to remove any trapped hairs and skin debris. Use the small cleaning brush provided to clear stubborn hairs from between the tweezers.
  2. Drying: Allow the epilator head to air dry completely before reattaching it or storing the device. Ensure the body of the epilator is also dry before charging.
  3. Storage: Store the epilator in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Keep the protective cap on the epilation head when not in use.
  4. Regular Exfoliation: To prevent ingrown hairs, incorporate regular exfoliation into your skincare routine (2-3 times a week, avoiding immediately before or after epilation). This helps clear dead skin cells that can trap growing hairs.
  5. Battery Maintenance: To prolong battery life, avoid storing the device fully discharged for extended periods. Charge it periodically if not used for a long time.
