Answer
Instantaneous flash from a xenon
lamp.
This is because of unstable
hormone balance when growing
up and the skin can become
sensitive easily.
Only use the appliance on
underarms, arms, legs or bikini-
line. (Do not use the appliance on
the face or other areas.)
Using the appliance on the same
area everyday is not
recommended.
Please follow the guide for
treatment frequency and time.
(See page 13.)
This is because the flash applies
heat to unwanted hair, and is not
a sign of a malfunction. Remove
any hair if it has grown too long.
Also remove all trimmings
remaining on the skin.
Apply the flash switch closely
against the skin. (See page 15.)
If the light is still a concern, wear
sunglasses or other eye protection.
Question
The light feels hot while
using the appliance but is
this a problem?
The treated skin turns
red while using the
appliance but is this a
problem?
The pain and redness do
not subside after use but
is this a problem?
Dirt on the guard cannot
be removed.
Answer
The sensation is different for each
person but it may feel hotter if hair
has not been removed properly.
Please shave any hair short
before flashing.
The treated skin may temporarily
turn red or feel painful depending
on the body type or condition of
the person using the appliance.
Stop using the appliance
immediately, and keep the skin
cool and moist.
If the symptoms subside within
2 days, use the appliance at a
level that the symptoms do not
appear. If the symptoms persist
after 2 days, consult a
dermatologist. (See page 14.)
If the dirt cannot be removed even
after cleaning, the light will
become weaker and the guard will
need to be replaced. Contact the
store where you purchased the
unit or a service centre authorized
by Panasonic for repair.
