How To Use Your Device
This usually comes down to technique — and it's a super easy fix!
Here’s what to check:
- Go against the direction of hair growth
- Hold the device at a 90° angle, flat against your skin
- Use gentle pressure — not too hard, not too light
- Pull your skin taut with your free hand
- Move slowly to give the tweezers time to grip the hair
- Make sure the safety guard isn’t blocking the tweezers
Most first-time users get the hang of it after 1–2 sessions. You’re not doing anything wrong — a small adjustment makes a big difference!
Mild discomfort is totally normal during your first few uses, especially if you've never used an epilator before. That’s because Pluxy removes hair directly from the root — not just at the surface.
Women report that this discomfort is mild and fades fast as their hair becomes finer and more manageable.
Here’s how to make it more comfortable:
- Prep your skin with warm water
- Always hold skin tight with your free hand
- Take it slowly
- Try your first session on a smaller area to build confidence
Good news: it gets easier fast. As your hair grows back finer, you’ll feel less and less.
Yes — just be careful.
If you have cystic acne, open wounds, sunburn, or inflamed skin, avoid using the device in those areas until they’ve healed.
If your skin is sensitive but healthy:
- Do a patch test first
- Use gentle pressure only
- Follow up with a soothing moisturizer like aloe or our Hydro-Boost formula
Most users with sensitive skin say Pluxy works great once they find the right prep and pressure.
Some redness is normal — especially after the first session.
Here’s how to keep your skin calm and clear:
- Exfoliate the day before to prevent ingrown hairs
- Use warm water before your session to soften hair and open pores
- Go slow and hold skin taut to reduce friction
- Avoid heavy creams right after — use a light, calming moisturizer
- Don’t exfoliate again for 2–3 days
Most redness fades within a few hours. If bumps appear, use cold water or aloe to soothe the area.
Pluxy is designed with safety guards and precision tweezers to prevent cuts and bruising, but if used incorrectly — it can cause irritation.
Here’s how to avoid that:
- Never press down hard or move too quickly — let the device do the work
- Always pull skin tight while using the device
- Don’t use it on loose, creased, or broken skin (like under the chin)
- Avoid gliding too quickly — slow and steady wins here
