PREPARING FOR DEPILATION:
Depilation by pulsed light requires no special skin preparation. Skin should be unbroken, unblemished, free from
burns, and absolutely clean, with all traces of lotion, cream or oil removed.
Shave closely, with a manual razor only, to achieve the best deep penetration of the light.
Mark out the treatment area, with a soft pencil (e.g. a make-up pencil).
It is then essential to apply the contact gel onto the treatment area, so that the light can be picked up and
channelled, and in order that the skin is well chilled.
To avoid the gel drying too quickly, it is best to cover the area several times, depending on the movement of the
appliance, and to spread it evenly in light, circular movements.
The supplied safety glasses must be worn to protect you from the light emitted during treatment.
PROGRAMMING OF PARAMETERS:
The areas treated with this appliance are as follows:
•
for women: underrarms, arms, bikini line and legs
•
for men: underrarms, back, chest, arms and legs
For reasons of eye safety, you are recommended not to treat your upper lip or chin yourself.
It is best to ask a friend or family member, who should also be protected by glasses, and will be able to fire the flash
with greater accuracy and safety.
To check that your skin does not react adversely to exposure to the light, it is advisable to carry out an area test
several hours before carrying out the complete depilation.
Carrying out personalised programming of parameters, regarding skin and hair type, to obtain best results.
This programming is recorded anew every time the appliance is used.
To define your skin type, determine how it reacts to the sun:
•
pale skin, which tans lightly and burns easily
•
olive skin, which tans easily and rarely burns.
To define your hair type, determine its characteristics:
•
fine, medium or fair hair, as a rule on the arms and legs
•
thick or dark hair, as a rule underarms and the bikini line.
