Solution
Select a lower intensity next time (see 'Selecting
the light intensity').
The scattered light produced by the device is
harmless to your eyes. Do not look at the flash
while using the device. It is not necessary to wear
goggles during use. Use the device in a well-lit
room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes.
Be sure to make good skin contact to avoid
scattered light.
Select a higher setting next time.
The surface of the attachment should overlap the
previous spot to make sure you flash the
complete skin area, but treating the same area
multiple times does not increase efficacy.
If you have light blond, grey, red or white hair,
the treatment is not effective.
To remove all hairs successfully, we advise you to
follow the recommended treatment schedule.
You can reduce the time between treatments,
but do not treat more often than once every two
weeks.
Continue using the device for at least 6 months,
as hair growth can still decrease over the course
of this period.
