6. Precautions – How to use SensEpil™ by beurer safely
Choose your energy levels CAREFULLY!
Energy level refers to the intensity of the light pulse that is projected on your skin during use, from the lowest level (-)
to the highest level (+).
INDICATOR LIGHTS
on the
CONTROL PANEL
illustrate the energy level at which the machine is set. As
the energy level increases, so do the results of SensEpil™ by beurer as well as the risk of side effects (see “Possible Side
Effects” below).
Always begin your fi rst use of SensEpil™ by beurer at the lowest energy setting (one light at “-”)!
Only if you experience little or no discomfort during and after use of SensEpil™ by beurer at the lowest energy setting,
raise the energy level by one
INDICATOR LIGHT
the next time you use SensEpil™ by beurer, and so on for each subsequent
hair removal session.
For detailed instructions on energy level setting see “Energy Level” box in the “Treating with SensEpil™ by beurer for
