Before Treatment
Treating the face, cheek and jaw (use the «Precision mode»)
Place the treatment window on your skin. Wait for the power bars to show white LEDs. Before pressing the
treatment button, close your eyes or look away to avoid the bright light. Avoid treating the same area twice
as this may increase the chance of producing adverse reactions.

the area.
Seek medical advice to determine the cause which may be due to an underlying medical condition.
TREATMENT PLAN
Start-up phase
Maintenance treatment
The typical hair growth cycle varies between individuals and could take up to 16 months depending on
body area (underarm, lower leg, bikini area). Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to
treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin. For this
reason, we recommend a start-up phase with one treatment per week over a period of 4 -12 weeks.
In case you no longer see hair growing, you do not need to complete the full 12 weekly treatments. You can
switch to the maintenance treatments.
AFTER TREATMENT
Once you have completed your treatment, unplug the power supply from the electrical outlet to turn off the
device.
Do not touch or clean the glass filter (10) for at least 5 minutes after use to allow it to cool down.
After treatment, we recommend using sunscreen SPF 15 whenever treated areas may be exposed to the
sun. We recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources, such as tanning booths or solariums.
Avoid any activity or skin products that may irritate your skin for 24 hours after treatment. This includes
using hot tubs or saunas, wearing tight-fitting clothing, using bleaching creams, perfumed products or
peeling products. The above may cause irritation, such as itching and redness, in the treated areas.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
rinse or immerse the device in water or any other liquid.
