solo una persona utilice el producto.

de limpieza abrasivos ni líquidos agresivos
como gasolina o acetona para limpiar el

- Los métodos que eliminan el vello de raíz
pueden causar vellos encarnados y lesiones
menores en la piel. Consulte a su médico si
tiene alguna duda respecto del uso de una
depiladora.
- No use la depiladora si tiene venas
varicosas, erupciones, manchas, así como
tampoco si la piel está irritada, si tiene
vellos encarnados o una tendencia a sufrir
de vellos encarnados. Consulte primero a su
médico.
- Cualquier lesión pequeña que se origine
por la eliminación del vello puede permitir
que las bacterias penetren en el lugar de la
lesión y, potencialmente, causen pequeñas
cicatrices o un cambio en la pigmentación
de la piel. Se puede minimizar el riesgo de
infección al limpiar cuidadosamente los
discos giratorios antes o después de cada
uso.
- La depiladora solo debe utilizarse después
de una consulta previa con su médico si
tiene o si sufre:
- Heridas abiertas
- Eczema, psoriasis (eczema con escamas),

- Si ha ingerido medicamentos hormonales
o comenzará a hacerlo, o si ha estado
embarazada recientemente, el cambio
en sus niveles de hormonas puede
afectar el grosor, el color o la cantidad
de crecimiento de vello. Esto se debe a
cambios hormonales, no a este método de
eliminación del vello.
- No utilice aceites de baño o ducha cuando

provocar irritación cutánea grave.
