• Shave immediately before treating the
area. Doing this will let you use a higher
energy level, because there will be less
hair to heat up and the treatment will be
more comfortable. How well you shave
will make a big difference in how the
treatment feels. See page 22.
• Use the highest energy level setting
that’s comfortable for you. Higher energy
levels are more effective. See page 25.
• Have a plan to work each treatment
area in an organized, grid-like pattern to
ensure that you don’t overlap treatment
spots.
Getting the Best Results
Note:
DO NOT physically mark the
treatment area with grid pattern as this
could cause injury to the skin.
• If you’ve waxed, tweezed or epilated the
hair in the treatment area, wait 6 weeks
before using the system. IPL uses the
hair under your skin to disable your hair
follicles, so it is not effective if the hair
has been pulled out.
• Stick with the full treatment for
each body area.
