Frequently asked questions
What’s the benefit of combining exfoliation with epilation?
Braun Silk-épil 7 epilators remove up to 90% of hair in one stroke thanks to optimally positioned tweezers. The Braun Silk-épil 7 SkinSpa removes hair as small as a grain of sand or 0.5mm which is four times shorter than wax can do. The main benefit of epilation is long-lasting, smooth, hair-free skin for up to four weeks. To ensure your skin glows with natural radiance, it’s also important to exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. Braun Silk-épil 7 SkinSpa combines these two essential beauty treatments in one product for visibly radiant and touchably smooth skin.
According to a recent consumer test [Independent research institute, 60 females, Germany, 2012] 90% of women agreed that the Silk-épil 7 SkinSpa offers two benefits in one device for better skin results, and 93% confirmed that it is like wellness for the skin.
What are the benefits of epilating with a Wet & Dry epilator?
Warm water relaxes and soothes your skin. The warmth improves your micro-circulation, stimulates the production of pain-reducing substances and makes your skin less sensitive. This is why the tugging sensation is considerably reduced in water. This is confirmed by a study conducted by the German dermatologist Dr. med. Petra Staubach at the University of Mainz. The majority of participants felt no or only a slight tugging sensation.
Is it safe to use the Braun Silk-épil 7 SkinSpa in the shower and bath?
Braun Silk-épil 7 SkinSpa is 100% waterproof and is safe for usage in or out of the shower and bath. The product features an automatic shut off mechanism that ensures the appliance only operates once the cord is removed from the mains power and recharger dock.
I have never epilated before – how should I go about it?
Braun’s Silk-épil epilators are the ideal choice for first-time users. Their High Frequency Massage system softly stimulates your skin with micro-pulsations before removing the hair, leaving your skin more relaxed. Moreover, epilating on wet skin with the Silk-épil 7 epilators is especially gentle. Still, if you are inexperienced, you may feel a little discomfort during your first epilation sessions. This will decrease with each session, as the skin adjusts to the process and the individual hairs grow back at different speeds, so that there will be less hair to remove after the first session.
How do I go about the exfoliation?
You shouldn’t exfoliate intensively directly before or after epilating as it may leave your skin feeling delicate. But it is important to exfoliate regularly (approx. 1x a week) to keep skin smooth, glowing and healthy as well as to help prevent ingrown hairs. You can also use your favourite body wash or peeling gel for best results and extra comfort. When you use the product in the bathtub, do not immerse it fully in water since this will not provide optimal exfoliation results.
Does more hair grow back if I epilate?
No, this has been proven in dermatological tests. In fact, studies show that ongoing epilation reduces the amount of hair regrowth.
Is epilation painful?
Silk-épil 7 epilators have been developed especially to minimise any discomfort and irritation. Being able to use the product in water also reduces discomfort and irritation as the warmth of the water releases endorphins – the body’s natural pain reliever.
What areas of the body can the Braun Silk-épil 7 SkinSpa be used on?
The Braun Silk-épil 7 SkinSpa can be used on various areas of the body depending on personal choice. The epilator is designed to remove unwanted hair from the legs but it can also be used for arms, underarms and the more delicate bikini area. There are also specific attachments available in the different Silk-épil 7 SkinSpa models for the more sensitive areas like underarm, face and bikini. The exfoliation brush attachment is designed particularly for use on the arms, décolletage and legs, but it can also be used on other body areas if the user wishes. Braun does not recommend the use of the exfoliation brush on the face.
Does the brush wear out with frequent usage?
Braun recommends replacing the brush part every 9 months, latest every 12 months, to bring back the best exfoliation experience.
