5.3 Planning depilation sessions with the Lumilisse Hair Remover
You should plan your depilation sessions with the Lumilisse Hair Remover in advance !
We recommend you use the following schedule, which has delivered excellent results:

5.2 SKIN COLOR SENSOR SYSTEM – automatic detection of intensity level
For best results with the Lumilisse Hair Remover, plan your sessions well in
advance.
The Lumilisse Hair Remover features 5 levels of intensity, running from the lowest (level
1) to the highest (level 5). The level of intensity indicates the intensity of the pulsed light
applied to the skin when using the Lumilisse Hair Remover .
It is important to regulate the intensity level according to your skin color. Darker skin,
which contains more melanin, needs lower intensity levels than lighter skin.
For eff ective and safe treatment, the Lumilisse Hair Remover is equipped with the Skin Color
Sensor System, a skin color detection system that automatically regulates the light intensity
applied to the skin.
Note that the skin color can vary from one body part to the next, and even on the same
limb: Your lower arm, for instance, may have one color on the inside of the wrist, a darker
color on the top of the underarm and a lighter color on the inside of the elbow. When in
doubt, it is better to re-scan your skin with the skin color sensor to determine the best
energy level to use. To scan, simply turn the unit over with the energy level indicator
light LEDs, labeled 1 through 5, facing up so that the skin sensor touches your skin.
It will read the skin color and suggest a power level. Press the trigger button on the
handle to confi rm the power level, or you can manually override the suggested power
level by pushing the “+” or “–” buttons on the unit. Manually overriding the suggested
power level is not recommended until you have used the device several times and have
experience with how certain power levels aff ect your skin (see included skin color chart).
your Lumilisse Hair Remover will be necessary to obtain long-lasting results.
The effi
ciency of the appliance will vary from one person to the next and will depend on
the area being treated, the color of the hair and the way in which the appliance is used.
There is no way to know exactly how long your individual follicular cycle will be, so it is
best to monitor hair growth and use the Lumilisse Hair Remover until your hair growth
has stabilized.
