Testing on a Patch of Skin
As with any new skin care product,
we recommend testing on a patch of
skin before your first full treatment, or
before using in any new body area. You
may want to use different energy lev-
els for different areas since sensitivity
may vary by body part.
Note: you will get better results
by using the system at higher
energy levels.
• Get your skin ready (see page 22) and
unlock the system with the Skin Tone
Sensor (see page 22). The system will
default to energy level 1.
• In energy level 1, treat your skin with
one single flash. Mild to moderate
pain is normal – if you feel more than
moderate pain, stop using immedi-
ately and call customer service (see
page 44) for help.
• If it feels tolerable on energy level 1,
press the energy level button once to
change to energy level 2 (see “set-
ting the energy level” on page 25).
Move the system to a different spot
and flash one more time. If you don’t
feel comfortable using the system at
energy level 2, then energy level 1 is
the right setting to start out with.
• Repeat this process until you find the
setting that feels right for you.
• Wait 24 hours and then look at the
test area. If the skin appears normal,
proceed with your treatment at the
setting that’s right for you.
If you notice skin swelling, tempo-
rary blisters or change in the color of
your skin, or any other side effects, or
if you are not sure about the outcome
of the test,
do not use
and contact
Customer Service (see page 44) or call
your doctor for assistance.
• Repeat the test if you decide to try the
system on a different part of the body,
or if your skin tone has changed (for
example, from a sun tan).
