6.1 Preparing the skin
Body
Before you use the Lumilisse Hair Remover on the body, your skin must
be shaved (24 hours beforehand), clean, dry and free from any residue of
powder or deodorant. Warning: Do not depilate (with an electric depilator,
tweezers or waxing) before using Lumilisse Hair Remover. Epilating (remo-
ving hair from the root) would prevent intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment
from having any effect.
Face
Do not shave the diff erent areas of the face before use.
Before using the Lumilisse Hair Remover on the face, remove all traces
of cream, lotion or makeup. Warning: Do not depilate (with an electric
depilator, tweezers or waxing) before using the Lumilisse Hair Remover.
Epilating (removing hair from the root) would prevent intense pulsed light (IPL)
treatment from having any eff ect.
6.2 Carrying out a test with the Lumilisse Hair Remover
Carry out a test with the Lumilisse Hair Remover 48 hours before the fi rst use.
1. Plug the adapter cord into the power jack on the handle of the Lumilisse Hair Remover (FIG. 1
on the included Quick Start Usage Guide.)
2. Plug the other end of the adapter into a power outlet.
> The ON/OFF button turns on and is orange in color (FIG. 2).
3. Switch on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button (FIG. 3).
> The ON/OFF button turns green.
> T he power level 1 LED indicator is on. Level 1 is programmed by default when
the unit is switched on (FIG. 4).
4. Place the unit Skin Sensor on the area of skin where you wish to perform the test (we
recommend a leg) (FIG. 5).
> The intensity level LED indicator(s) switch on and flash, showing that the unit
has successfully detected the phototype of the area of skin to be depilated
and has adjusted the power level automatically (FIG. 6).
5. Press the trigger button on the handle once to confirm (FIG. 7).
> The intensity level LED indicator(s) stop flashing (FIG. 8).
6. Position the application surface on the area of skin detected and keep the application
surface still, in position, to ensure total contact.
> The Ready LED flashes green when the unit is correctly positioned on the skin
and ready to release a light pulse (FIG. 9).
7. Press the trigger button to release a light pulse onto the skin (FIG. 10).
NOTE:
You may feel a
slight
hot sensation and tingling. This is normal.
8. Move the application surface to another area of skin and press the trigger button to
release another light pulse. Take care not to overlay the light pulses.
If you do not experience any abnormal reactions or discomfort
(FIG. 11) 48 hours after the test, you may start treatment and move onto Chapter 6.3, “Treatment
with Lumilisse Hair Remover.”
6. Use of the Lumilisse Hair Remover
If your skin does not react correctly to the test (FIG. 18), if you experience any abnormal
reactions or discomfort after 48 hours, perform a second test at intensity level 1, whatever
your phototype, without considering the Skin Sensor, and wait 48 hours (FIG. 19-20-21).
- If you react correctly to this second test, proceed with the first treatment session,
manually selecting level 1.
- If your skin does not react correctly to this second test, we recommend not using the
appliance.
For subsequent sessions, if there is absolutely no discomfort or side effects, you may
gradually increase the power level over the sessions, with respect to the table below and
using the intensity choice log to help you;
- Phototype I:
- Phototype II:
- Phototype III:
- Phototype IV:
6.3 Treatment with the Lumilisse Hair Remover
We recommend that you always use the Skin Sensor on your skin before each depilation
session and each change to the treatment area. Remember that different areas on the
same limb may be different skin colors (e.g., inside wrist and top of underarm). When you
first start out using the Lumilisse Hair Remover, start on your body, not your face, using
the body attachment until you gain confidence using the unit.

(FIG. 1 on the Quick Start Usage Guide included).
2. Plug the other end of the adapter into a power outlet.

3. Switch on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button (FIG. 3).
> The ON/OFF button turns green.
> The power level 1 LED indicator is on. Level 1 is programmed by default when the
unit is switched on (FIG. 4).

(FIG. 12).

has successfully detected the phototype of the area of skin to be depilated
and has adjusted the power level automatically (FIG. 13).
5. Press once on the trigger to confirm (FIG. 14).
> The intensity level LED indicator(s) stop flashing (FIG. 15).

and ready to release a light pulse (FIG. 16).
