Can the Braun Silk-épil 3 3-000 epilator be used on scars or sensitive areas with recovering skin injuries?
Like all epilators, you shouldn't use your Braun Silk-épil 3 device on skin that is open or that is suffering from a breakout of spots. Broken skin may be liable to further damage from the tweezers in your Braun Silk-épil 3 epilator. Just as would be the case using our Mini Hair Remover, using your epilator on skin which is recovering or that has suffered a breakout could exacerbate the problem. Stick to clean, healthy skin when epilating.
How long does the battery of Braun Silk-épil 3 3-000 epilator last on a single charge?
Just like a number of our IPL hair removal devices, this Braun epilator Silk-épil 3 doesn't have an internal battery. Instead, it is supplied with a smart plug that will adapt to the mains electricity in your area - ideal if you intend taking your Braun Silk-épil Series 3 3-000 on your travels with you - for convenient, corded use. This means that the epilator receives a constant supply of power when in use so you'll never get halfway through an epilation session and need to stop to recharge.
Can the Braun Silk-épil 3 3-000 be used in the shower or bath?
No, this is not a waterproof product. Although you can epilate with it in your bathroom, it is not recommended that the Braun Silk-épil 3 3-000 comes into direct contact with water. When you have finished epilating with it, simply use the supplied cleaning brush to remove any hairs that may have attached themselves to the device and place your epilator in a dry location where it won't be exposed to too much airborne moisture.
Can this Braun Silk-épil 3 epilator be used for facial hair removal?
This series 3 Braun Silk-épil for women as well as men isn't designed for facial hair so it shouldn't be used on your cheeks, chin or upper lip. There are plenty of alternative female hair removal products available from Braun that offer this sort of functionality, however. So, if you want to use this device simply as a ladies' epilator for legs, for example, and obtain another product for unwanted facial hair, then you can.
How long does the smoothness last after using the Braun Silk-épil 3 3-000?
Depending on the individual user, the smoothness you can expect from the Braun Silk-épil 3 epilator range will vary. That said, several weeks of smooth, silky skin can be expected because the 3-000 epilator deals with hairs from the root so it takes longer for them to grow back compared to shaving, for example. When hairs start to regrow, you can epilate them with your device while they are still quite short and not very noticeable.
