• Turn off the machine at the end of the session (wait 10 minutes before unplugging the machine, in order to
allow it time to cool).

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS WITH THE
When used properly, the risk of adverse effects, such as skin rashes or burns, is extremely reduced but still exist.
If these effects occur, you must stop using the device immediately.
A simple solution is to test the device on a small area of the skin. The absence of skin reaction will enable a perfectly safe use of the
device.
When your
hair removal device is used as directed, side effects and complications are rare. However, all cosmetic treatments,
even those designed for home use, involve certain risks. This is why it is important that your client understands and accepts these risks
and possible complications when pulsed light hair removal system is used.

Optimum results are achieved, on average, by the completion of 8 sessions at 2-month intervals. If, for personal rea-
sons, certain patient wish the time between sessions to be reduced, you may accept this, provided that a minimum interval of 4
weeks is observed, whilst explaining to the patient that this will not enhance the effectiveness of treatment. The total number
of sessions required will be increased accordingly.
