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.

Painless and efficient! I have been used to waxing all my life, but recently I had to start doing it myself. I found it very difficult and time consuming, and I couldn’t get all the small hair. So I decided to buy epilator. Phillips and Braun are 2 brands known for their good epilators. I wanted something which was good, but didn’t need something very comprehensive. I looked over many products and settled for this one. The 5280 is an upgraded version with a shaver and trimmer head, but I didn’t need those as I don’t…
Finally! I had used a Silk Epil in France for 10 years and was very happy with it. 7 years, ago, I moved to the US, and brought it along with me, but France runs 230v when it’s 110 here. I had then bought an adapter to convert the electricity settings,but it wouldn’t work properly. I liked so much the Silk Epil I had, that I bought an American one, and was very very disappointed with the result. I couldn’t see any difference with shaving as the hair seemed to be cut rather than plucked, resulting in a…
