You did not make
enough overlaps
when you used
the appliance.
For proper hair-removal results, you have to make
overlaps when you use the appliance. See chapter
‘Using the appliance’, step 7.
You do not use
the appliance
as often as
recommended.
To remove all hairs successfully and to prevent the
hair root from becoming active again, the treatments
have to be repeated once every two weeks for the
first two months. Your skin should be smooth and
hair-free by then. To ensure that you keep these
results, we advise you to repeat the treatments on the
underarms and bikini line every two weeks. On the
legs, regrowth is usually slower. Therefore, a treatment
once every four weeks is probably sufficient to keep
your legs smooth and hair-free. If you see too many
hairs grow back within these four weeks, then simply
shorten the interval between treatments again, but do
not treat more often than once every two weeks.
