Frequently Asked Questions
This is my first time epilating. How should I go about it?
Braun Silk-épil epilators are perfect for first-time users. The active massage rollers softly stimulate your skin with micropulsations before and after removing the hair, leaving your skin more relaxed. Still, if you are inexperienced, you might feel some discomfort during your first epilating sessions. This will decrease with each session as the skin adjusts to the process. Also, the individual hairs grow back at different speeds depending on their particular growth cycle, so there will be less hair to remove after the first epilation.
Does more hair grow back if I epilate?
No. In fact, dermatological tests have shown that ongoing epilation reduces the amount of hair regrowth.
How do I prepare my skin for epilating?
The best preparation for epilating is a nice, warm shower. It will leave your skin clean and relaxed. Be sure to use gentle, pH-neutral shower gel and keep the water warm, not hot, to avoid drying out your skin.
Is epilation painful?
Silk-épil epilators have been specifically developed to minimize any discomfort and irritation.
How do I charge my epilator?
To charge, push the charging cord into the epilator’s charging socket until it clicks. The first time you connect your charging cord, it might require firm pressure. After a few connections, it will be easier to click it in.

EXACTLY the same as Braun’s Silk-Epil Xelle 5270, but for a slight increase in motor speed and the ice glove. A few years ago, I bought myself a , which I’ve enjoyed using for the past few years, but for the fact that, in order to keep the massaging roller clip in place, I have to hold it on with my hand, effectively blocking much of the ingenious Smartlight’s beam.This new Braun Silk-Epil 5280 is the EXACT same model; all that Braun’s changed here is the color…
Lasts Quite Awhile For your inner masochist, consider the Braun Silk Epilator, a device I had no prior knowledge of before it was offered to me through the Amazon Vine program, but one which I now consider part of my regular beauty regimen.Seriously, if you have a low threshold of pain, look for another leg-hair removal system, like a razor. The epilator is essentially an electric tweezer that rips your leg hairs out by the root. Hurts so good. Good, because my legs were smooth for a week before I…
