24 hours before treatment check for any reaction by testing a
small area.
The patch test will confirm the maximum power level for your
skin type.
Treat an area on each power level (e.g. arm, leg) up to the
maximum power level for your skin type (see Skin Chart). Use
the (+) button to increase the power level by a single step
each time and work your way along the area with the wand on
a different part of the skin each time.
If you feel any discomfort the previous power level is the
maximum power level you should use.
A slight redness may occur, but not always, within an hour
of treatment. however, if any redness remains after 24 hours
this would indicate the power level selected was too high for
your skin type.
IMPORTANT:
Because skin colour varies on different areas
of the body, you may find that you need different power level
settings for different areas. Each area should be tested for the
appropriate maximum power level.
