Vision Fonction:

The Vision system installed in

your device gives perfect epila-

tion results first time.

By diffusing an ultraluminous

halo on the skin, this system

makes all your hair – even the

finest, shortest and fairest hairs –

easier to see.

Pivoting head function:

For comfort of use, your applian-

ce is fitted with a pivoting head

that adapts to every contour of

the areas to be shaved (legs, arm-

pits, bikini line) for a smooth, effi-

cient result.

Pain-free function:

Your appliance is equipped with a roller beads massaging system integrated

into the depilation head.The roller beads massage the skin to reduce the sen-

sation of pain linked to depilation.

It is normal for the depilator head to vibrate when in operation.

The vibration helps to accentuate the relaxing effect of the massage

roller beads.There is nothing wrong with your appliance.

3. PREPARATION OF THE SKIN

•Your skin must be clean and dry.

• Do not apply either cream or hydrating milk before depilation.

• If you previously used a razor for depilation: the first few times you use the depilator,

your skin may feel more sensitive, as shaving has made your hair thicker and stronger.

•This sensation will lessen the more you use your depilator : the hair will grow back less

quickly and become thinner.

• Your depilator will be much more effective and easier to use if you use it regularly.

We advise you to use your depilator as soon as your hair starts to grow back.

6. PEELING

Peeling will enable you to:

- Raise the hair beforehand for more effective removal.

- Limits growth of subcutaneous hair if practised regularly.

For these reasons, it is advised that you use Access and its Micro-peeling :

- Facility just before shaving and regularly once a week between shaving sessions.

- The sensitivity of the peeling patches to the skin has been dermatologically

tested.

- Nevertheless slight, superficial marks may appear on the skin following exfo-

liation but these will disappear quickly.

- After peeling, we advise you to wipe over

the area with a moist flannel to remove any

dead skin.

- Dry the skin thoroughly afterwards.

You are strongly advised not to use micro-peeling just after shaving to avoid

damaging your skin.

And not to use a peeling gel or cream at the same time.

Never carry out peeling on sensitive areas (armpits / bikini line / face).

Method :

- Clip on the peeling patch.

- Push the Micro-peeling head in until

you hear the click.

- Move the switch to the on position “1“.

- Exfoliate gently, without pressing too

hard.

When using the Micro-Peeling function

for the first time or if your skin is very

delicate, we recommend:

1. skin is wet before peeling, use cotton

wool or a flannel to do this

2. making slow and gentle rotating

movements when using the appliance

3. not to use the appliance more than

twice on the same area.
