TREATMENT MODES
Depending on the area you wish to treat you can choose between Gliding mode and Precision mode:
The gliding mode enables fast and efficient treatments and is recommended for large skin surface areas
(e.g. legs, arms, chest and back) while the precision mode is recommended for treating sensitive or small,
hard-to reach areas such as knees, shins, ankles, bikini line or underarm and face for females.
The area to be treated has to be hair-free, clean and dry. Before pressing the treatment button, look away
from the device to avoid the bright light.
Gliding mode
1. Place the treatment window (1) firmly on your skin, ensuring both skin sensors (2) have skin contact.
Power bars (3) show white LEDs.
2. Press and hold the treatment button (5). The
device will begin to flash.
3. Move the device slowly and continuously from
the bottom to the top of the treatment area.
Make sure to always keep full skin contact so
that the device flashes continuously.
Once you have completed your first gliding stroke,
lift the device off the treatment area. Repeat steps
1 to 3 to treat the next adjacent area in a parallel
stroke.
Make sure to avoid missed areas by placing the treatment window directly next to the previously treated
spot without leaving any space between treated areas.
If you feel intense pain, stop treatment immediately and consult your physician before using the device again.
Gentle mode
For sensitive areas (or first time users) you may set the device to Gentle mode by pressing the Gentle
mode button (4). The Gentle mode indicator will illuminate to indicate it is activated. To de-activate Gentle
mode, simply press the button (4) again. The Gentle mode indicator will go off and the device will return to
its standard settings.
Gentle Mode reduces the light intensity. More treatments may be required to see the desired effects.
The Gentle Mode is also recommended when doing the monthly maintenance treatments.
Standby mode
After 10 minutes of inactivity, the device will revert to standby mode (which will be indicated by one blinking
light on the power indicator bars). To return to READY mode, press any key or remove/replace the power cord.
Sleep mode
If the device is not operated (no button push) for 60 minutes, it will enter sleep mode (low power state).
The Power bar LEDs are off. To return to READY mode, press any key or remove/replace the mains cord.
On wake-up the device will follow the standard Power on procedure (power bars will light up completely
once).

Precision mode
2. Press and instantly release the treatment button
(5). The device will emit a flash.
3. Lift off the device and place it onto the next
adjacent spot to be treated. Again, wait for the
power bars to show white LEDs. Then press and
release the treatment button.
Continue treatment spot by spot until you have
completed the entire area you wish to treat.
