FAQs
How do I achieve the best results with this epilator?
For best results, epilate at a 90-degree angle to the skin, holding the skin taut. Use gentle, steady movements. It's recommended to epilate in the evening to allow any potential redness to subside overnight. Ensure hair is at least 0.5mm long.
Can I use this epilator on my face?
This epilator is designed for legs and body. It is not recommended for use on the face, as facial skin is more sensitive and requires specialized devices.
How long does the battery last?
The epilator provides up to 60 minutes of cordless operating time after a full 3-hour charge. Fast charging is also available for a quick boost.
Is it safe to use the shaver attachment in the shower?
Yes, the Philips Epilator Series 8000 BRE708/00 is 100% waterproof, making it safe for use with the shaver attachment in or out of the shower.
How often should I clean the epilator?
It is recommended to clean the epilation head after every use to maintain hygiene and performance. Simply rinse it under running water.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or the official Philips website for the most current warranty information specific to your region, as warranty periods can vary.
Can I use this epilator if I have sensitive skin?
The epilator features hypoallergenic tweezers and can be used for wet epilation, which may help reduce sensitivity. However, individual skin reactions can vary. Start with a patch test and use the lower speed setting if needed.
Troubleshooting
Epilator is not turning on
Ensure the device is adequately charged. Check if the power cord is securely connected during charging. Try a different power outlet.
Reduced epilation efficiency
Clean the epilation head thoroughly to remove any trapped hairs. Ensure you are holding the epilator at the correct angle (90 degrees to the skin) and that the skin is taut.
Skin irritation after use
Ensure skin is clean and dry before epilating. Hold the skin taut. Consider using the lower speed setting or epilating in the shower (wet use). Apply a soothing lotion after use.
Charging issues
Verify the charging cable is correctly plugged into both the epilator and the power adapter. Ensure the power adapter is functioning. Clean the charging contacts on the device and the cable.
