Warning!
Do not use the IPL on the face above the cheek line or around the eyes, eyebrows and
eyelashes as this could cause serious eye damage.
Do not use the IPL over mucous membranes as in the nose and ears
1) Make sure you do a Spot Test 48 hours prior to treatment. The Spot test should be
done in a hair-free area such as below the ear or the side of the neck to determine the
energy level.
Warning! Do not treat the tested area for at least 1 week after the spot test is done
2) Mark the treatment area with a white eye pencil. Use the mark as guidance for
delivering the pluses. In this way you can avoid overlapping treatment areas or
treating unwanted facial areas.
3) Use a mirror to help you place the applicator correctly on the treatment area.
4) Follow the instructions for use (see previous chapter #) with additional care to the
following specific area instructions.
Note: Facial Hair may be hormonal and as such, it can take more sessions to achieve a
permanent hair reduction.
Upper Lip Treatment
Place the Applicator treatment area as indicated in the picture. Trigger one pulse in each
marked area.
Avoid the nostrils and lip, as these areas are more sensitive.
You can "fold" your lip inward or press the lips together to achieve a better spread
treatment area.
Cheek and Jaw treatment
Place the Applicator treatment area as indicated in the picture. Trigger one pulse on
each spot, moving from one side of the jaw/cheek to the other.
Neck and chin treatments
Place the Applicator treatment area as indicated in the picture. Trigger one pulse on
each spot, moving from one side of the neck/chin to the other.
Note: The skin on lower third of the neck is more sensitive, avoid overlapping
treatment areas.
For Male users
It is not recommend to use the product for facial treatment as this may change the facial characteristics and
result in a feminine look.
Note: Premature ageing characteristics can emerge due to complete loss of facial hair of men.
Post treatment care for facial treatment
Apply a calming lotion such as Aloe Vera.
Avoid using peeling and bleaching creams or products for at least 24 hours as this irritates the treated skin.
Avoid more than 15 minutes of direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks post treatment. If recently treated
skin is exposed to sunlight in this time period, make sure to apply SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
Do not wax or pluck hairs from treated areas.
Remember! It may take up to 2 weeks for the hair to grow and fall out.
