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 the gliding stroke is completed, lift the
device off the treatment area. Repeat steps 1-3 to
treat the next adjacent area in a parallel stroke.
Make sure you 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.
Treatment head(s)
While the standard head (10) can be used on all areas, it is ideal for efficiently
treating large areas, e.g. legs.
The precision head (11) (not with all models) has been specifically designed
for small, curvy, hard to reach areas, e.g. face for females, bikini line, underarms,
knee, shin, ankle. With the precision head attached, the flashing sequence is slower.
How to treat the face (females only)
• Before treating the face, make sure you have done a patch test. Remove any visible hair and cosmetics,
lotions and creams from the area you wish to treat.
• 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.
• When treating the upper lip area, a void contact with the lips and the nostrils. The central area below the
nostrils might be sensitive.
• Do not use on permanent / semi-permanent lip liner on the lip margin.
• TIP: You can press your lips together to ensure that the light does not activate on the upper lip itself.
• Hair growth under the chin can be denser and coarser. This can sometimes lead to slight skin reddening
following a treatment. This redness is temporary and should completely disappear after 24 hours.
NOTE:
• If redness or a burning sensation occurs and lasts for several minutes, apply a cool cloth/pad to soothe
the area.
• If any pigment changes in the skin, e.g., lightening or darkening, are observed, stop using the device.
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.
