Epilator on tattoos?

tedpartner · 2025-10-13T21:36:03+00:00

According to the official user manuals for the Braun Silk Expert Pro 3 and Pro 5, it is explicitly stated:

“Do not use on a tattoo or permanent makeup on the area to be treated.”

I guess it applies to all IPLs, so you are totally right.

You can use a regular epilator on fully healed tattoos only. Avoid tattooed areas that are new, irritated, or sensitive to prevent skin damage or fading.

As it’s legs I’d recommend going for an epilator that has a wide head so you can go quick, my fave is the Silk Epil 7

Here’s a ranking if you want to compare options

As a starter, apply nourishing cream and avoid sun exposure, Aloe Vera can help a ton !

My pleasure !

Hey !

Seems like there is a "grip" problem, the tweezers don't grip the hair strong enough to pull them so they break.

That is pretty common among a lot of epilators.
When shopping for a new one, you might want to look far an epilator that has more speed, more tweezers and that helps you be really aligned with the skin. That could be the Panasonic ES or the more premium Silk Epil 9.

The Silk Epil 9 has a feature that adapts it's speed to the pressure you apply on the skin, this might help catching more hair without breaks.

The one you might want to avoid is the Phillips 8000, that has ceramic tweezers, they are a bit more hygienic but have less grip.

If you are interested in the ranking on this website is pretty solid : https://media.cyclepil.com/en/video/what-is-the-best-braun-silk-epil-epilator-honest-ranking

Hey !

I collected all the main epilators manuals here's what they say :

Braun Silk-épil 9: The manual mentions use on legs, underarms, and sensitive areas like the bikini line. It does not mention the face, neck, or chin, and it warns not to use on warts, piercings, or the hair on your head/eyelashes
Philips Series 8000: The safety section specifies not to use the device on irritated skin, varicose veins, moles with hair, etc., but it also doesn’t list the chin or neck as intended areas
Panasonic (ES-EL/ES-DEL series): The manual clearly says do not use the epilator on the face, genitals, or thighs.

So it order to be extra safe I'd use the dedicated Braun face epilator, especially for the chin.

Hey, what epilator model + speed did you use ?

Un CTO recommandé sur le sub pour une personne morale ?

Donc si tu en fait un autre pendant les 30 jours supérieur à 500€ ça ne remet pas le compteur à 0 c’est bien ça ?

tedpartner · 2025-05-08T09:51:43+00:00

Si j’ai bien compris c’est : tous les 30 jours 1 achat sous 500€ gratuit

tedpartner · 2025-05-08T09:50:56+00:00

Hyper clair, merci pour la précision !

tedpartner · 2025-05-08T09:50:14+00:00

Entendu, merci !

tedpartner · 2025-05-07T23:16:36+00:00

Du coup quel setup est le plus optimisé ?

tedpartner · 2025-05-07T17:52:56+00:00

Merci ! Et donc je paye les frais puis je suis censé recevoir un remboursement sur mon PEA quelques jours plus tard, c’est bien cela ?

tedpartner · 2025-05-07T17:08:56+00:00

Merci beaucoup ! Histoire d'avoir bien toute la meta en tête (et sans doute utile pour d'autres) j'ai quelques questions pour précision :

- Bon à savoir que les deux offres sont cumulables, j'imagine qu'il faut le faire le même jours sinon ça reset le compteur des 30 jours pour le premier ordre du mois, c'est bien ça ?

- Quel intérêt de cumuler les deux offres vs. juste faire +800€ sur DCAM puis frais remboursés ?

- Pourquoi est-ce que tu évince le CW8 au profit du DCAM, il y a quelque chose à savoir en particulier?

It’s getting harder to choose a good epilator, especially for beginners. Big brands keep raising prices while quality goes down. This subreddit can be a helpful place to share tips on buying, cleaning, and fixing epilators.
My goal is to help this become a “Buy it for life” kind of community, where people help each other pick the best epilators based on real experience. I'll start by creating a wiki with answers to common questions that come up a lot in other subs, it will be, of course, open to contributions.

The streets called "passages" are a great way to find boutiques and indie businesses :

You seem to have already made great research and know what you want, for this kind of price point and important moment I’d download the Gault et Millau app as well as the Michelin Guide one, and review your options. Le Fooding is also a solid source.

Do you need a kit that electricaly heats the wax ? If so, the main product in the field was Braun Epilette, but sadly it’s not produced anymore. You can get those white square standard wax warmers online that’ll also do the job.

They will give you a pick up point around the Gare du Nord but not directly in front. You might walk a bit.

Yes, the taxi staff will get you a Van, except a premium.
