MODES
PRECISION mode
The Precision mode (described in the section above) allows safe treatment of the most inaccessible and sensitive areas,
such as face, armpits, bikini line, etc.
GLISS mode
Once the application surface of the appliance is properly applied to the skin and you press and hold the Pulse release
button, you can activate the Gliss mode (continuous release of 36 pulses per minute, at intensity level 1). The pulses are
thus automatically released continuously without the need for further manipulation. You can therefore simply move
the device on the skin without interruption in a slow and continuous motion, without lifting it up and applying it to the
skin again.
If you lift the appliance while holding the Pulse release button, the Gliss mode remains active. However, for safety
reasons, the pulse will not be released until the device is in full contact with the skin. Make sure that the contact sensor,
which is around the periphery of the application surface of the appliance, is firmly pressed against the skin so that the
continuous flash function in the Gliss mode is ensured. If you break the contact between the application surface of the
appliance and the skin, you have 5 seconds to apply the appliance back on the skin and press it firmly while holding the
Pulse release button. If the appliance is not in full contact with the skin after 5 seconds, the Gliss mode will deactivate
and you will have to release the Pulse release button and press it again to restart the process.
If you lift the appliance and release the Pulse release button, the Gliss mode will deactivate.
The Gliss mode is suitable for users who already have some experience using the device. Thanks to 36 pulses per minute
(intensity level 1), the Gliss mode allows you to treat larger areas of the skin, such as legs, back, arms, torso, etc., more
safely and quickly. Use the Precision mode to treat sensitive areas and facial skin.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
When not used for more than 10 minutes, the appliance automatically switches off and the light indicator turns orange.
If you want to restart the appliance, press the On/Off button and set the required power.
COVERING OF THE TREATED SKIN
When releasing the pulses, proceed systematically in successive rows. This method ensures better control of the pulses
and helps you to cover the area better while preventing treating the same area twice or releasing the pulses too close
to each other.
The pressure marks left on the skin after using the epilator will help you to choose the right place to apply the light pulse
again, so as to avoid releasing two pulses at the same area or leaving too much space between the treated areas. Avoid
releasing more than one pulse on the same area of the skin during one treatment session.
If burns or blisters appear on the skin, stop the treatment immediately.
FACE EPILATION
• You must never look directly at the treated area during the puls emission.
• Do not use the appliance to remove eyelashes, eyebrows or head hair.
• The appliance is not suitable for full removal of male beard.
• For your comfort and safety, we recommend asking someone to help you with the first few treatment sessions.
• Use the PRECISION mode to remove facial hair. DO NOT USE THE GLISS MODE TO TREAT FACE OR SENSITIVE AREAS.
• When treating your face, it is necessary to wait 5 seconds between each pulse. The duration of the facial skin
treatment session should not exceed 10 minutes.

SELECTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL
The intensity level designates the power of the pulsed light applied to your skin during treatment. The power ranges
from the lowest (1) to the highest (5) level. The light indicator indicates the selected intensity level. If you increase the
power, the results will be better, but the risk of side effects increases (see chapter Possible side effects).
Warning: If you do not experience any abnormal reactions or discomfort within 48 hours of the test treatment, you can
select the power level of the epilator for the first treatment according to the table below:
• Skin phototype I and II - For the first treatment, set the appliance to a maximum of the 3rd intensity level. If you do
not experience any problems, you can gradually increase the intensity to level 4 and then to level 5 over the next few
treatments.
• Skin phototype III and IV - For the first treatment, set the appliance to a maximum of the 2nd intensity level. If you do
not experience any problems, you can gradually increase the intensity to level 3 and then to level 4 over the next few
treatments.
• Skin phototype V - For the first treatment, set the appliance to a maximum of the 1st intensity level. If you do not
experience any problems, you can gradually increase the intensity to level 2 and then to level 3 over the next few
treatments.
• The IPL epilator is not suitable for people with skin phototype VI.
Warning: Before using the appliance, read the entire instruction manual and select a safe power level (see the
phototype table below) for each treatment.
To ensure safe use of the appliance, the above-mentioned intensity selection guide must be used together with the
table below.
