SPOT TEST

The spot test is intended to determine your skins
reaction to the AFT/IPL treatment and help you select
the optimal energy level for each treatment area.
Do a spot test on each area you intend to treat 48 hours
prior to the full treatment.
1. Prior to use, make sure your skin is shaved, clean and

dry (free of any residue such as powders, creams,
make-up, anti-perspirants or deodorants).

Warning!

NEVER use flammable liquids such as alcohol

or acetone to clean the skin before using the IPL device.
2. Set up the device following the instructions above.
3. Place the applicator treatment window on the

required test area with full contact to the skin.

4. The device sets itself on the lowest energy level.

Deliver the first pulse, on energy level 1, by pressing
the pulse button. You will see a bright flash, hear a
popping noise and you may feel a mild stinging
or/and heat sensation.

5. Remove the applicator from the skin and place it on

the next spot of the test area.

6. Use the power button to increase the energy level by 1.

The energy level lights will light up blue (or white for
levels 4 and 5) according to the selected energy level.
Deliver the second pulse, on energy level 2, by
pressing the trigger button.

7. Only if you feel comfortable repeat steps 5 to 6 until

you have reached the maximum energy Level of 5.
Stop the test once you do not feel comfortable,
increasing the energy level increases the risk of
adverse effects.

If you see adverse effects such as

severe redness or blistering stop the test
immediately.

8. Wait 48 hours and examine the tested area. If the skin

in the test area seems normal (no response or mild
redness) you can proceed with a full treatment in the
highest comfortable energy level you tested.
If you see extreme redness, swelling or blistering,
even in the low energy level settings do not do the full
treatment in that area.

Note:

Do not treat full areas in energy levels you have

not tested before.
Do not treat the tested area for at least 1 week after the
spot test is done. Use the table below to make a note of
the energy level that suits you for different areas you
wish to treat.
