Cause

and normal and disappears
quickly.
You have used a light
intensity which is too high for
you.
You have used a light
intensity which is too low for
you.
You did not make enough
overlaps when you used the
appliance.
You do not use the appliance
as often as recommended.

for your hair or skin colour.

overlaps when you used the
appliance.

Solution
No action required.
Select a lower light intensity the next
time. See chapter 'Preparing for use',
section 'Setting the light intensity.
If the skin reaction lasts longer than
3 days, contact your doctor.
Select a higher light intensity the next
time.
For proper hair-removal results, you
have to make overlaps when you use
the appliance. See chapter 'Using the
appliance', step 7.
To remove all hairs successfully and
prevent the hair follicle from becoming
active again, the treatments have to
be repeated once every two weeks for
the first two to three months. Your skin
should be smooth by then.To ensure
that your skin stays smooth, we advise
you to repeat the treatment every four to
six weeks. The time between treatments
may vary based on your individual
hair regrowth and also across different
body areas. If too many hairs grow back
between treatments, simply shorten the
treatment interval again, but do not treat
any area more often than once every two
weeks. When you use the appliance more
frequently than recommended, you do
not increase the effectiveness but you do
increase the risk of skin reactions.
Do not use the appliance if your body
hair is light blond, red, grey or white.
Do not use the appliance either if you
have very dark skin.
For proper hair-removal results, you
have to make overlaps when you use
the appliance. See chapter 'Using the
appliance', step 7.
This is normal. It is part of the natural
cycle of hair growth that hair starts
growing again. The hairs that come back,
however, tend to be softer and thinner.
