2. Press the ON/OFF/power selection button. On the intensity
display, a small light (level 1) begins to illuminate continuously
in green.
Note
In the case of facial treatment, the skin sensitivity test should be performed on an area
without hair, for example below the ear or on the side of the neck.
3. Position the light area on the skin and press the trigger button in order
to release a light pulse at level 1. Ensure that the light area and skin
contact sensor come into full contact with the skin. A light pulse can
only be released once the skin contact sensor is in full contact with the
skin. You will see a bright fl ash, hear a cracking noise and may feel a
slight burning sensation and/or warmth. The device fan switches on after
the fi rst fl ash. Within 1-3 seconds (depending on the intensity level), the
device is ready for the next pulse and the indicator lamp on the device
is continuously illuminated green.
4. Position the skin contact sensor on another treatment area. Increase the intensity level by
pressing the ON/OFF/power selection button again and release a light pulse using the trig-
ger button. Do not exceed the maximum permitted/recommended intensity for your skin
tone (see the hair and skin colour chart on the back page of these instructions for use).
Note
Only increase the energy level if the previous level is not uncomfortable for you. If energy
level 1 is uncomfortable for you, do not increase the energy level.
5. If you experience an uncomfortable feeling after the fl ash, reduce the intensity.
6. Complete the skin sensitivity test. Wait
48 hours
and examine the treated skin area. If the
treated skin surface appears normal (no reaction or only slight reddening), you can treat
the tested skin areas at the intensity level set for the skin sensitivity test.
Note
If your treated skin surface produces a reaction (e.g. reddening or swelling), wait until the
symptoms have fully subsided and then carry out another skin sensitivity test at a lower
intensity. If the treated skin surface reacts again, consult your doctor.
