The 'ready to flash' light on the back of the appliance lights up green
when all contact switches of the safety ring are in contact with the skin
and the appliance is charged.
Note: The safety ring has contact switches that together are the safety
system of the appliance. This safety ring prevents unintentional flashing
without skin contact.
Tip: For easier use, stretch the skin you want to treat. On areas with softer
skin, you may need to exert more pressure on the appliance to push in all
contact switches.
Note: Bony areas like shinbone, ankles or ribs are more sensitive than
other areas of the body. When you press the appliance hard onto these
areas, the skin can be more susceptible to skin reactions like irritation
and redness. See section 'Possible side effects and skin reactions' in this
chapter. Press the appliance onto the skin just hard enough to make the
'ready to flash' light go on, but no harder.
7 Press the flash button to release a flash. Now you have 2 options to
release the next flash:
a Keep the flash button pressed. The appliance releases one flash
after another as long as the safety ring is in full contact with the skin.
Immediately after the appliance has flashed, slide the appliance to
the next area. Make sure the safety ring is fully pressed onto the skin.
This 'Slide & Flash mode' is especially convenient for treatment of
larger areas like the legs.
b Let go of the flash button after each flash. For the next flash, place
the appliance on the area right next to the previously flashed area.
Make sure the safety ring is fully pressed onto the skin.
This 'Step & Flash mode' guarantees a precise treatment of e.g. the
knees or ankles.
Note: After a few seconds, the appliance is ready to flash again, so make
sure that you move it to the next area immediately after it has flashed.
Do not treat exactly the same area multiple times during
one session. This does not improve the effectiveness of the
treatment, but increases the risk of skin reaction.
Note: The visible light produced by the appliance is the reflection of the
flash in the skin and is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear
goggles during use.
