Operating Instructions
For optimal results and comfort, follow these operating guidelines:
- Prepare Your Skin: Ensure your skin is clean and dry before epilation. Exfoliating beforehand can help prevent ingrown hairs.

- Target Areas: The epilator is suitable for legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line. Its design adapts to body contours for efficient hair removal.
- Post-Epilation Care: After epilation, apply a soothing lotion to moisturize your skin.
