Step 4: Cleaning & Storage

1. Make sure to turn off and unplug unit before cleaning.

2. It is recommended that the treatment window area will be 

cleaned after every session by using a dry, clean cloth 

to gently wipe the device.

3. Keep the device dry. Never place, store or use IPL 8500 

near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels con-

taining water as this may cause severe electrocution.

4. If you do not plan on using your IPL 8500 for a long period 

of time, it is recommended to keep it clean and stored.

5. If you plan to travel and take your IPL 8500 with you, you 

should store it in the original box and follow this section.

8. Post treatment care

•  Apply a calming lotion such as Aloe Vera.

•  Avoid using peeling and bleaching creams or similar 

products for at least 24 hours, as this irritates the treat-

ed skin.   

•  Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks post treat-

ment. If recently treated skin is exposed to sunlight in 

this time period, make sure to apply SPF 30 or higher 

sunscreen.

•  Do not wax or pluck hairs from treated areas between 

treatment sessions.

9. Troubleshooting

•  If you experience any problems with the IPL 8500, please 

refer to below information to try to resolve it.

•  If the IPL 8500 does not turn on, make sure that the de-

vice is charged (as indicated by the green light at the 

battery status indicator).

•  If IPL 8500 does not trigger a pulse:

a. the treatment window is properly attached to your de-

vice (the device will not be operable if the treatment 

window is not attached or not properly attached to 

the device.

b. the device did not automatically exit trigger-less mode 

after proper contact and skin tone were not detected. 

c. there is full contact with the skin.  The trigger button 

will activate a flash pulse only when the device is in 

full contact with the skin.

d. the area you are trying to treat is not too small, curved 

or bony to treat. You should get the whole treatment 

window to touch the treatment area (try to pull the 

skin flat). 

e. if the skin color level identified by IPL 8500 is too dark, 

the flash activation will be blocked. This situation is 

indicated by a “momentary” red light on the device.
