Gliding
is the best technique for working at lower energy levels.
Press the treatment window firmly against your skin and slowly glide over your
skin, either across or down. Make sure that the treatment window is always
touching your skin. At lower energy levels, the device takes only 1-1.5 seconds to
recharge between pulses. This generates a nonstop sequence of flashes.
Glide at a speed so that you avoid gaps or overlaps.
•
Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair reduction
session.
•
Stop use immediately if you have any discomfort.
THE SKIN TONE TESTER
Light-based hair reduction on darker skin tones may result in adverse effects
such as burns, blisters and skin colour changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
The built-in skin tone tester detects the colour of your skin automatically. The
skin tone tester checks your skin colour at the start of, and occasionally during,
each treatment.
If your skin tone is too dark for safe use, the device will not operate, and the
skin tone tester light will blink.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING USE
For many people, using the device may be their first experience with a light-
based device.
During a treatment session it is normal to experience or feel:
•
Noise:
This is the cooling fan.
•
Popping sounds:
These occur with each flash.
•
A sensation of warmth and tingling:
During each light pulse.
•
Some redness:
It is not uncommon to see some very mild, pink-like skin
colouration during or just after a treatment. This is usually most noticeable
around the hairs themselves.
•
Stop use immediately if you see your skin is very red.
•
Contact your physician immediately, if you experience any complication.
