Beurer IPL 9000 Mode D'emploi page 37

1. You must carry out a skin sensitivity test 48 hours before treatment (see Chapter 7, step 2). The skin
sensitivity test should be performed on an area without hair, such as below the ear or on the side of
the neck, to determine the suitable energy level.
WARNING
Do not treat the tested area until at least one week after performing the skin sensitivity test.
2. Mark the treated area with a white eyeliner pencil. Use the marking as an orientation line for issuing
the pulses. This way you can prevent overlapping the treatment areas or treating other areas of the
face by mistake.
3. Use a mirror to position the applicator correctly on the treatment area.
4. Follow the instructions for use (see previous chapter 8.1 "Starting treatment") and observe the follow-
ing specific instructions, in particular.
Note
Facial hair can be a result of hormones, which means that several sessions may be required to achieve
permanent hair reduction.
8.3 Treating the upper lip
Position the treatment window of the applicator as shown in the figure. Trigger a pulse in
every marked zone.
Avoid applying the treatment to the nostrils and lips, as these areas are more sensitive.
Note
You can "fold in" your lips or press them together to make the treatment area more taut, or apply a
thick layer of white eyeliner to the lips and around the edge of the lips. The white line ensures that the
energy of the flash is reflected and does not reach your lips, should you accidentally apply a pulse to
your lip.
8.4 Treating the cheeks and jaw
Position the treatment window of the applicator as shown in the figure. At each point, trig-
ger a pulse and move from one side of the check or jaw to the other.
8.5 Treating the neck and chin
Position the treatment window of the applicator as shown in the figure. At each point, trig-
ger a pulse and move from one side of the neck or chin to the other.
Note
Note: The skin on the lower third of the neck is more sensitive. For this reason, avoid overlapping
treatment areas.
