What are the key features that differentiate the Braun epilator Silk-épil 9 9-061 from other models?
The Braun Silk-épil 9 9-061 is part of the latest generation of epilator technology from Braun. This particular model has a wide, pivoting epilation head and comes with a shaver head, so you can use it in two operational modes - not all epilators offer this. In addition, this Silk-épil 9 model comes with an updated smart touch feature which makes switching between power and gentle modes a breeze whether you are epilating in the dry, the bathtub or the shower. Compared to older models, the Braun epilator Silk-épil 9 9-061 has a narrower handle making it easy to hold even when you are working on the harder-to-reach parts of the body.
Can I use the Braun Silk-épil Series 9 9-061 epilator on moles or skin blemishes?
It is not advisable to use any epilators - or IPL devices, for that matter - including the Silk-épil 9 9-061, on broken skin. The 40 microtweezers in the epilator Silk-épil 9 9-061 pull hairs out from their roots so this would lead to discomfort on broken skin or areas with blemishes. That said, you can epilate over moles. The same goes for removing hair with the trimmer cap or if you have fitted the shaver head to use your Braun wet and dry epilator with its shaving function.
How should I clean and maintain the epilator Silk-épil 9 9-061?
This is a fully waterproof epilator which means that after use, all you need to do is rinse it in clean water to remove any plucked-out hairs that might have attached themselves to the body or the head of the unit. Once you have rinsed your Braun Silk-épil 9 epilator, simply allow it to dry out. You can then use the supplied cleaning brush to remove any hairs that remain before recharging the hair removal epilator for women and men or storing it in its supplied pouch until you want to use it again.
Can the Braun Silk-épil 9 9-061 be used in the shower or bath?
The epilator Silk-épil 9 9-061 is a Braun wet and dry epilator which means that you can use it wherever you want, in the bathroom or an en-suite shower room. Because it is 100% waterproof, it doesn't matter if you or your skin is wet when epilating and you can even rinse your device as you epilate to ensure it remains hair-free as you progress. Many users find that epilating in the bath reduces the sensation of epilating but if you prefer using your Braun Silk-épil 9 9-061 in the dry, then you can.
