Is it difficult to epilate?
No, you can do this at ease in your own bathroom or bedroom. Just switch on the appliance and start epilating from the bottom up, moving the epilator upwards against the hair growth direction. Our cordless versions can be used anywhere!
What about ingrown hairs?
Exfoliating not only gives you gorgeously smooth skin but also helps prevent ingrown hairs. Dead skin cells are scrubbed off and fine hairs can grow the way they're supposed to. Exfoliate regularly between sessions, yet wait 2-3 days after epilating.
Can I use an epilator on different body areas?
Some skin areas are more sensitive than others. You can use a sensitive cap that reduces the number of active tweezers on the skin so that fewer hairs are caught and pulled at the same time. You could also select a model that comes with a shaving head attachment or bikini trim attachment.
Is it painful to epilate?
When you are new to epilation the first few epilation sessions can be sensitive. This will decrease rapidly over time as your skin gets used to the sensation. Besides, less hair will re-grow over time.
How can I reduce the pulling sensation of epilators?
The Satinelle Ice Premium makes use of the naturally soothing power of ice. During epilation, the cooler glides over the skin, gently numbing it and reducing any irritation... 
...There are also epilators with a massaging effect, such as our Satinelle Ice Premium with sonic massage with aloe vera. It tenderly stimulates the skin, thereby reducing the pulling sensation to the minimum and making the whole epilation process more comfortable.
Can anybody use an epilator? What if I have sensitive skin?
The epilator is designed with all types of skin in mind. We do recommend you consult the directions for use first. Our epilation head has ceramic tweezers that grip even the finest hairs and have a hypoallergenic coating that is gentle on the skin.
The Philips epilators with ice pack are particularly suitable for those whose skin is sensitive or prone to allergic reactions.
Are epilators hygienic?
All our epilator heads are washable, so easy to clean. Conveniently, epilating does not leave a mess!
Epilation myths unraveled
Hair will not grow back darker. Hair that has grown back has its natural color. The only difference is that the sun didn't discolor it - yet.
Epilation does not increase hair growth. What can create this impression is that higher summer temperatures influence hair growth. Blood circulates faster, which improves the nutrition of hair roots.
1. Persistence pays off.
Hair does not grow at the same speed. Epilate regularly the first few weeks and you will be rewarded with long lasting smooth legs!
2. Moon over sun.
Evenings are the best time for your epilation sessions. You will feel relaxed and any minor skin irritations that may occur will disappear over night.
3. Make a clean start.
Taking a shower or bath before you start will help open the skin pores, resulting in a closer shave or epilation.
4. Dry - as in very.
Make sure your skin is completely dry and free of any creams or lotions.
5. Tame before you aim!
You will get the smoothest results when hairs are not too long. Trim before if necessary.
6. Stretch it tight.
Stretch your skin with your free hand while epilating. This lifts up the hairs and helps to minimize the pulling sensation...
7. Lift or rub?
Flat lying hairs are lifted with the hair lift attachment (some models). Or, rub your skin before you begin to epilate. This raises the shortest hairs and enhances the tweezers grip.
8. Be nice!
Apply your favorite body lotion or oil after depilation, to give your skin that nice, silky glow. However, do not use products that contain alcohol. When you have just epilated your underarms, you can use a deodorant for sensitive skin or some talcum powder.
1. Make a clean start.
Taking a shower or bath before you start will help open the skin pores, resulting in a closer shave or epilation.
2. Dry - as in very.
When shaving or epilating on dry skin, make sure that your skin is completely dry and free of any creams or lotions.
3. Tame before you aim!
Always trim your bikini area before shaping it.
Trimming:
Use the precision trimmer with the precision comb to trim your bikini line. Its 5 length settings allow you to trim to different lengths, ranging from 2-10mm.
Styling:
Use the precision trimmer without comb to style your bikini line. Trimming without the precision comb results in a hair length of approx. 0.5mm.
4. Create an outline.
You can use an eyebrow pencil to sketch a shape, or create your own shape by using one of the stencils!
5. Hold your skin taut.
To achieve the best result, use your 'free' hand to stretch your skin so hairs are removed the way they should be!
6. Remove the comb.
Then use the Micro Trimmer, Micro Shaver or Epilation head to contour and remove unwanted hair.
7. Go against the direction
Always move the appliance against the direction of hair growth.
Now you're ready to go creative and style it your own way!
1. Dry - as in very.
When shaving without water, make sure that your skin is completely dry and free of any creams or lotions.
2. Full contact is the key.
Ensure the entire shaving head touches your skin and that you hold the lady shave in the right angle (approx. 90 degrees) to get a smooth result.
3. Go against the direction.
Move the lady shave against the direction of hair growth. On some areas, hair may grow in different directions. In this case, it may be helpful to move the appliance in different directions to achieve optimal results.
4. Hold your skin taut.
To achieve the best result, use your 'free' hand to stretch your skin so hairs are removed the way they should be!
5. Be nice!
Apply your favorite body lotion or oil after depilation, to give your skin that nice, silky glow.
One final check in the mirror and you are perfect to go!
1. Baby, it's cold outside
Intense Pulsed Light works best when you start in winter or early spring on un-tanned skin. This way, your skin is smooth by the time summer comes.
2. Beginner's luck
Your hair will stop reappearing after four or five treatments. To obtain the best possible results when you still have hair re-growth, shave and trim the areas you want to treat as closely as possible a few hours before using Philips Lumea.
3. Dry - as in very
Make sure your skin is completely dry and free of sweat, creams or lotions. Light treatment on wet or sweat skin causes an unpleasant sensation.
4. Keep it cool
Light is absorbed more effectively by cool skin. Wait until your skin has cooled down after a bath, shower or sauna before you start the treatment.
