Product Information

Full details

The Philips Satinelle Series 2000 Corded Epilator BRE238/00 is designed for individuals seeking an effective, at-home hair removal solution that provides smooth skin for up to four weeks. Its key benefit lies in its ability to catch very short hairs (0.5mm) from the root, offering a salon-like smoothness without the salon visit. A potential caveat for new users is the initial sensation of epilation, though the included massage cap helps to mitigate this.

Troubleshooting

Epilator not turning on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the epilator and a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet is functioning with another device.

Reduced epilation effectiveness

Make sure the epilation head is clean and free of debris. Ensure you are holding the skin taut and moving the epilator slowly against the direction of hair growth. Check that hairs are at least 0.5mm long.

Skin irritation after use

Ensure skin is clean and dry before epilation. Use the massage cap to help reduce sensation. After epilation, apply a gentle moisturizer or soothing lotion. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin.

Epilator head is difficult to detach

Gently pull the epilation head away from the epilator body. If it's stuck, try wiggling it slightly. Ensure there is no hair or debris obstructing the connection point.
