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.
Treating the neck and chin
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 neck or chin to the other.
Care after facial treatment
• Apply a soothing lotion such as aloe vera.
• Do not use exfoliators, whitening lotions or similar products for at least
24 hours, as this could irritate the treated skin.
• For at least 48 hours after the treatment, avoid more than 15 minutes of direct exposure
to the sun. If the treated skin is exposed to sunlight during this period, sun protection with
SPF 50 or higher must be applied.
• Do not remove hair on the treated areas using wax or tweezers.
Remember that it may take a complete hair growth cycle for hair removal to be
complete.
