ENERGY LEVELS
The energy level determines the intensity of the light pulse delivered to your skin. As the
energy level increases, so do hair reduction results, as well as the risk of possible side effects
and complications.
• The device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest), represented by 5
energy level indicator lights.
• When the device is turned on, the energy level is set to level 1 automatically. Only one
energy level indicator light will be on.
• To change the energy level, press the control button repeatedly to increase the energy
level from 1 to 5. Once at level 5, press the control button again to reduce the energy
level from 5 back to 1.
• To determine the right energy level for your treatment area, refer to section BEFORE
YOUR FIRST TREATMENT.
PULSING AND GLIDING
Pulsing is the best technique for working at higher energy levels.
Press the treatment window against your skin. Work in rows (either across or down as shown
in Fig 4). Start at one end of each row and progress to the other end. The treatment window
creates temporary pressure marks on the treated area so you can see areas you have treated.
After each pulse, move the treatment window to the next spot. Keep doing this pulsing
action for the area you are treating.
Avoid gaps or overlaps as you use the device
.
Gliding
is the best technique for working at lower energy levels.
Press the treatment window firmly against your skin and slowly glide over your skin (either
across or down as shown in Fig 4). Make sure that the treatment window is always touching
your skin. At lower energy levels, the device takes only 1-1.5 seconds to recharge between
pulses. This generates a nonstop sequence of flashes. Glide at a speed so that you avoid
gaps or overlaps
.
• Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair reduction session.
• Stop use immediately if you have any discomfort.
