From the manufacturer

Catches hair 4X shorter than wax does

Never wait again for your body hair to grow so that wax can get it. Braun’s specially designed Close-Grip 40 Tweezer Technology catches hair as small as a grain of sand (0.5 millimeter). No more in-between days, no more hassle. Designed for uninterrupted use in dry conditions, it never lets you down.

High-frequency massage system

Stimulates the skin for a more comfortable experience.

SmartLight

The SmartLight reveals even the finest hairs for extra-thorough hair removal.

Adapts to every contour

The pivoting head follows every contour of your body for better skin contact and even gentler performance.

Shaver head

The shaver head and trimmer cap turn your epilator into a full-performance electric shaver.

How to epilate: tips for first-time users

Evenings are the best time for epilation; you’re more relaxed, and any minor bumps will be gone by the morning! The best preparation is exfoliating in warm water. It will leave your skin clean and relaxed and will help to reduce those dreaded ingrown hairs. Use an exfoliating scrub or mitt, or we recommend our Braun Silk-épil SkinSpa innovative exfoliating brush for 4X better results than manual scrubbing.

When epilating, hold your epilator so that it feels natural. Hold at a 90-degree angle to your legs and run the epilator in an upward motion against the direction of hair growth. There’s no need to press down too hard; simply touch the epilator lightly on the skin. Braun Silk-épil Wet and Dry can be used in the bath or shower for additional comfort. The massaging rollers also help to minimize discomfort. With regular use, epilation becomes virtually painless.

The golden rule is to moisturize after epilation, not before. Apply body lotion for the best results and get set for super-soft, silky skin in the morning.

Most EFFICIENT  and LONG LASTING gadget !

Most EFFICIENT and LONG LASTING gadget !
I want to start of by mentioning that this is my second epilator in 15 years !!Yes ,my first one was in 2002 which was also from Braun(See pics inserted) !!! The epilator head is still in a working condition,but the shaver doesn't seem to do the job well now, hence decide to go for a new one .I am so happy and glad for once again opting for Braun and not any other brand, and these are the reasons why-(1) It does what it claims, i.e picks up the tiniest hair and even the flat lying hair .In other words ,it's precision makes it more efficient, saves time . Epilation that required 7 -8 time of rolling over a particular patch of skin now can be be done in 3-4 rolls. That's nearly half the time and energy(2)The shaver too is very sharp, efficient making it easy breezy to work on those sensitive areas.(3) A smart light right below the roller head gives you clearer view of the area being covered which helps maneuver your moves where there is more growth or not going over again n again where not required. This feature of light wasn't there in the older models.(4) Fully washable. Although it wasn't a major issue ,being fully washable is a big added advantage over the older model I had. Cleaning under running water makes the job really easy n quick.(5) Cooling pad helps prepare your skin before epilations and soothes afterwards.Would like to add a golden tip which is also beneficial in epilating without undergoing the excruciating pain that ensues and that is to use a natural Loofah or Luffa every alternate day while bathing. Gently scrubbing your skin with a loofah (where you are eventually going to epilate or even shave ) every alternate day or once in 3 days will weaken the hair roots and also wear off the in growth to a large extent , which ultimately brings down the pain during epilation to barely 10 % . Mind you if you have very heavy or thick growth then scrubbing with loofah may be done every single day while bathing. Just remember to be 'GENTLE'.! If this method is applied on regular basis one doesn't have to dread the pain that's associated with epilation, in fact you would always opt for epilation rather than going for waxing(which removes the epidermis of the skin ) or bleaching. Regularly using a loofah and then epilating once in every 15-20 days has significantly reduced the hair growth over the years. Some times its past 20 days and hair are fully grown , but they are so thin and scanty and barely visible that I can go for another week without removing them.I even use the epilator of my upper lips.....YES!! Upper lips!! B'cos I scrub it with a natural Loofah!If you want to avoid spending hundreds of dollars per year in a waxing parlor ,plus save time , invest in any of the Braun epilator and reap the benefits for atleast next 10-15 years !!
