6.2 Special instructions for facial treatments
WARNING
• Men must not use this device on the face.
• Do not use the device on the face at an energy level higher than 2. Do not use the device
on the face above the cheekbones or on the eyes, eyebrows or eyelashes, as this could
result in severe damage to the eyes. Do not use the device on mucous membranes in
the nose or throat area.
• The skin on your face is very sensitive and requires special care. Observe all warning and
safety notes in these instructions for use to prevent adverse consequences. We recom-
mend that you first perform a treatment on your body and get to know the device before
performing facial treatment. The device can be used to treat all areas of the face below
the cheekbones, such as the upper lip, cheeks, jaw, chin and neck.
1. You must carry out a skin sensitivity test 48 hours before treatment (see section 5.1). 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 treat-
ing other areas of the face by mistake.
3. Use a mirror to position the device correctly on the treatment area.
4. Follow the instructions for use (see section 6) and observe the following specific instruc-
tions in particular.
Treating the upper lip
Position the light area of the device 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.
Treating the cheeks and jaw
Position the light area of the device as shown in the figure. At each point,
trigger a pulse and move from one side of the cheek or jaw to the other.
