Only if there are absolutely no side effects following the previous session, you may in-
crease the power level manually to increase effectiveness. Please refer to the chart on
page 17 for intensity levels recommended for your phototype. Do not increase intensity
by more than one level per session, and do not surpass the level recommended for your
skin type.
If you experience any discomfort, reduce to the previous power level.
NOTE:
If a non-authorized level has been reached using the manual control with respect
to the skin color determined by the Skin Sensor, the power level LED indicator in question
will flash 3 times to indicate a non-authorized level. We therefore recommend manually
reducing the power level to an authorized level.
6.4 Operating modes
The Lumilisse Hair Remover features two operating modes: Precision mode and Glide
mode. The two modes differ in how the light pulse is triggered. In Precision mode, you
manually trigger each pulse by pressing the trigger button. In Glide mode, you press and
hold the trigger button as you slide the unit across your skin, with flashes being automati-
cally released at a rate preset for each intensity level. Glide mode allows you to move a
little faster.
Start out in Precision mode. If you have successfully used Precision mode several times
and feel comfortable with your experience level, you can try the Glide mode, being careful
not to overlap treatment areas.
A. Precision mode
Precision mode allows you to safely treat the more hard-to-reach, sensi-
tive areas of the body (face, armpits, bikini line, etc.).
To treat the face, fi t the special facial attachment to the top of the device
and follow the safety precautions described in the chapter on facial depila-
tion with the Lumilisse Hair Remover .
Follow these steps:
See steps 1 to 8 of chapter 6.3, “Treatment with the Lumilisse Hair Remover.”
B. Glide mode
In Glide mode, the light pulses from your Lumilisse Hair Remover are released
automatically and constantly without any additional actions being necessary
(36 light pulses per minute, constantly, at level 1).
Follow these steps:
1. To activate Glide mode, repeat steps 1 and 6 of chapter 6.3, “Treatment with the Lu-
milisse Hair Remover.” Then correctly place the application surface of the Lumilisse Hair
Remover against your skin while holding down the trigger button on the device.
2. Glide the Lumilisse Hair Remover over your skin without interruptions, in a slow, con-
tinuous movement, without making any up or down movements.
NOTE:
• If you remove the Lumilisse Hair Remover from your skin while holding down the trigger
button, it will stay in Glide mode for 5 seconds. However, for your own safety, the pulsed
light will only be released if the Lumilisse Hair Remover is in full contact with your skin.
You should ensure that the application surface of the Lumilisse Hair Remover is in full
contact with your skin in order to allow it to glide.
• If the application surface of the Lumilisse Hair Remover is not in full contact with your skin,
you will have 5 seconds in which to ensure that the Lumilisse Hair Remover is in full con-
tact, while holding down the trigger button. If that window of 5 seconds is exceeded and
there is still not complete contact with the skin, Glide mode will be deactivated and then
you release the trigger button and press it again to reactivate Glide mode.
• If you lift up the unit and release the trigger, Glide mode will be deactivated.
Glide mode is suitable for people who already have some experience and proficiency
when using the Lumilisse Hair Remover . With 36 pulses per minute (at level 1), Glide mode
provides safe and fast treatment of larger areas of the body (legs, back, arms, torso). For
sensitive areas, the face and for the first few times using the Lumilisse Hair Remover, you
should use Precision mode.
6.5 Coverage of the treatment area
For proper coverage of the treatment area, the light pulses need to be applied to your skin
in lines, from one extremity to the other, systematically continuing in successive lines. This
prevents the side effects caused by overlapping of the light pulses.
The imprints left on your skin by the pressure from the application surface of the Lumilisse
Hair Remover should help you to align yourself correctly to apply each new pulse, to avoid
pulses overlapping or, on the other hand, to avoid the pulses being spaced too far apart.
Helpful hint: Some people find it helpful to use a white eyeliner to draw a grid pattern on
the body part to be depilated. Do not use any color other than pure white.
6.6 Facial depilation with the Lumilisse Hair Remover
Depilating the face needs very special attention because the skin on the face is particular-
ly delicate and sensitive. This is why the Lumilisse Hair Remover is equipped with a special
facial attachment. The special facial attachment is targeted and extremely precise, limiting
the light spectrum for treatment that is appropriate for sensitive facial skin.
Safety precautions for facial depilation:
• The Lumilisse Hair Remover is only suitable for depilating the lower
part of the face (cheeks, upper lip and chin).
• The Lumilisse Hair Remover is not suitable for depilating eyelashes,
hair and eyebrows.
• Do not look at the area of skin being treated while the light pulses are
being released. Close your eyes while the pulses are being emitted. If
the bright light is uncomfortable, we suggest wearing sunglasses.
• Do not use the Lumilisse Hair Remover around the eyes.
• Do not shave the different areas of the face before use.
• You must use the special facial attachment to depilate the face using the
Lumilisse Hair Remover.
