DO NOT use the Absolute if your skin tone matches one listed as “Not Safe” on
the Skin Tone Safety Chart
(see page 1). If you use the Absolute on medium brown,
dark brown, or black skin tones—all indicated as “Not Safe” for treatment—the skin
may absorb too much laser light, resulting in burning, discoloring, or scarring.
DO NOT use the Absolute if you are under the age of 18.
Do not use the Absolute
on anyone else under the age of 18. The use of the Absolute on or by children under
the age of 18 has not been studied and could result in serious injury.
DO NOT use the Absolute if you have a lighter hair color, such as blonde, white,
red, or gray.
For the laser to work, you must have naturally dark hair in the area to
be treated. Lighter hair pigments will not absorb enough of the laser’s energy to
deactivate the hair follicle.
NOTE:
The Absolute is equipped with a built-in skin sensor. If the sensor
determines that your skin tone is “Not Safe,” it will not give the treatment.
Not Safe Skin Tones:
Type V and Type VI
Under 18
Blonde, White,
Red, or Gray Hair
