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.
After treatment
Once you have completed your treatment, unplug the mains cord from the electrical outlet.
After treatment, we recommend using sunscreen SPF >15 whenever treated areas may be exposed to the
sun. We recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources, such as tanning booths or solariums.
Avoid any activity or skin products that may irritate your skin for 24 hours after treatment. This includes
using hot tubs or saunas, wearing tight-fitting clothing, using bleaching creams, perfumed products or
exfoliation products. The above may cause irritation, such as itching and redness, in the treated areas.
Cleaning and storage
After each treatment, inspect the treatment window (1), the skin tone sensors (2), the glass filter (9) and
the built-in reflectors for damage. Do not touch or clean the glass filter immediately after use to allow it to
cool down. Wipe the treatment window with a dry, lint-free cloth if any marks or black spots are visible.
Do not rinse or immerse the device in water or any other liquid.
To ensure maximum performance, keep the heads (10, 11, 12) with their built-in reflectors free from dirt,
hair or other debris. Do not clean in water, but use a dry cloth for cleaning them carefully.
Store the device in a cool, dry place. Make sure the treatment window and skin sensors are protected from
damage.
1 treatment per week (4-12 weeks)
continue treating to your needs, e.g.
every 1-2 months.
