FAQs
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
A full charge typically provides up to 30-40 minutes of cordless use, depending on the speed setting and attachments used.
Can I use this epilator on my face?
This model is designed for body epilation (legs, arms, underarms, bikini line). It is not recommended for facial use.
How often should I epilate?
Frequency depends on individual hair growth. Most users epilate every 3-4 weeks to maintain smoothness.
Is epilation painful?
Epilation involves pulling hairs from the root, which can cause discomfort, especially for first-time users. The Wet & Dry function, massage roller, and consistent use can help reduce this sensation over time.
How do I clean the epilation head?
Detach the head and rinse it under warm running water. Use the small cleaning brush provided to remove any remaining hair from the tweezers. Ensure it's completely dry before reattaching or storing.
What is the benefit of Wet & Dry technology?
Using the epilator in the bath or shower with warm water can help to open pores and soften the skin, making the epilation process gentler and potentially reducing discomfort.
Do I need to wait for hair to grow out before epilating?
No, one of the key benefits of this epilator is its ability to remove very short hairs (as short as 0.5 mm), so you don't need to wait for significant regrowth like you would for waxing.
Troubleshooting
Epilator is not turning on.
Ensure the device is fully charged. Check if the power button is being pressed correctly. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Skin irritation after epilation.
Ensure you are epilating on clean, dry skin. Use the massage roller cap to minimize discomfort. Exfoliate regularly between uses and avoid tight clothing immediately after epilation. Consider using the Wet & Dry function for a gentler experience.
Epilator is not removing hair effectively.
Make sure the epilator is held at a 90-degree angle to the skin. Ensure the hair is long enough (at least 0.5 mm). Clean the epilation head to remove any blockages. Try pulling the skin taut in the area being treated.
Device not charging.
Verify that the charging cable is securely connected to both the epilator and a working power outlet. Try a different power outlet. Clean the charging contacts on the device and cable.
