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 (pg. 11).
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. 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.
