Is the Braun Silk-épil 5 5-251 Epilator suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is. Like all epilators, you should avoid direct contact with broken skin or skin that is suffering from an outbreak of acne or eczema, for example. However, when you operate your Braun Silk-épil 5 epilator in sensitive mode, you'll be able to enjoy a virtually pain-free hair removal experience even if you feel skin sensitivity from time to time. Note that this is also the case if you have fitted the shaver head to your Braun Silk-épil 5 Series to use your Braun Silk-épil for women as a lady shaver.
How often should I use my Braun Silk-épil Series 5 5-251 Epilator for optimal results?
This will depend on the individual and the sort of female hair removal results you are after. That said, with typical usage, you can expect up to four weeks of smooth skin from your Silk-épil 5 device, approximately the same as you would obtain from a professional waxing treatment but from the comfort of epilating in your own home. Epilation can provide even better results the more you do it as hair follicles no longer produce new growth so quickly so the frequency of sessions will vary from person to person.
Can the Braun Silk-épil Series 5 5-251 Epilator be used for short hair or does it require longer hair for effective results?
The Silk-épil 5 range benefits from MicroGrip™ technology featuring wide, long and deep tweezers which remove even the shortest hairs that waxing would not be able to catch. Operating with precision, hairs as little as half a millimetre in length can be removed by this Braun Silk-épil 5 epilator whether you're working on your bikini line, your legs or your device as an effective Braun facial hair epilator product.
How does the Braun Silk-épil 5 5-251 Epilator handle coarse hair in the bikini area?
Coarse pubic hair can be trimmed down to a manageable length using the Braun Silk-épil 5's trimmer cap. Once the bikini line has been trimmed, you can use your Silk-épil 5 5-251 to epilate it just as you would on your underarms, for example, ideally in gentle mode. Make use of the supplied precision head or shaping head if you'd like to produce a certain style. Alternatively, make use of the Mini Precision Trimmer and one of its trimming combs to style your bikini line.
