pulse. You may choose from 2 treatment modes, either 

the ‘pulse mode’ or the ‘trigger-less mode’:

  a.  

Pulse mode:

 Press the trigger button once for release 

of a pulse to the treatment area. After moving to the 

next spot to be treated, press the trigger button again 

to release another pulse. The trigger button may be 

either pressed or continuously held.

  b.  

Trigger-less mode (glide mode):

 Begin treatment 

in the ‘pulse mode’. After three consecutive pulses 

without releasing the trigger button are released, or 

after pressing the trigger-less button, the device will 

automatically enter into the trigger-less mode and al-

low continuous consecutive pulses release without 

the need to press or hold the trigger button. In trig-

ger-less mode, the device will automatically deliver 

a pulse (without holding the trigger button) when a 

pulse is ready (1-3 seconds after the previous pulse) 

and when proper skin tone and contact are detected 

by the skin tone and contact sensor. If activated by 

the trigger-less button, the glide mode can be turned 

off by additional press on the button or will be auto-

matically turned off if the device is unused (or doesn’t 

have proper skin contact and skin tone detected) for 

a few seconds. If activated by constant press on the 

trigger button, the glide mode will be automatically 

deactivated when the device is not in proper contact 

with the skin or when skin is too dark/ tanned.

6. After the treatment, turn off the device by pressing the 

“ON/OFF” button; an orange indicator will light up while 

the device is in the shutdown mode.

7. Perform treatment sessions according to the “Recom-

mended treatment protocol” section.

Important notes:

 

•  Try not to overlap pulses on the same spot of skin. Re-

peated pulses on the same spot may cause burns. 

•  Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per 

treatment as it may cause skin irritation.

•  IPL 8500 will not trigger a pulse if:

  a.  There is no full contact of the treatment window with 

the skin 

  b. Your skin tone is too dark or tanned
