How do I charge my Philips Epilator?

Published on 11 February 2026

Charge your Philips epilator regularly to ensure it's always ready to be used.  

 

Keep in mind that charging instructions may vary for your specific epilator model. To find out the charging time for your device, read the user manual provided or search for your model number here. 

How to charge

To charge your Philips epilator, insert the small plug of the charging cable into the socket in the bottom of your epilator and plug the charger into a working electric socket.

Charging before first use

Before first use, make sure the epilator is fully charged. This ensures the epilator will work correctly when you use it for the first time.

USB charging cable

Your epilator comes with a USB-A charging cable. You can connect the cable to an electric socket using an adapter such as the Philips HQ87 (classified as IPX4, meaning it's splash-proof and safe to use in a moist environment such as a bathroom). An adapter from any other reputable brand can also be used to charge the product, if it has an output of 5V and 1A or higher (always follow safety precautions specified by the manufacturer). 

 

If you need to purchase a charger for your Philips product, you can find it here.

Quick charge function

After charging your epilator for approximately 5 minutes, the battery will contain enough power for one hair removal session. However, we recommend fully charging your epilator.
