How to treat the face (females only)
• Before treating the face, make sure you have done a patch test. Remove any visible hair and cosmetics,
lotions and creams from the area you wish to treat.
• Before pressing the treatment button, close your eyes or look away to avoid the bright light. Avoid
treating the same area twice as this may increase the chance of producing adverse reactions.
• When treating the upper lip area, a void contact with the lips and the nostrils. The central area below the
nostrils might be sensitive.
• Do not use on permanent / semi-permanent lip liner on the lip margin.
• TIP: You can press your lips together to ensure that the light does not activate on the upper lip itself.
• Hair growth under the chin can be denser and coarser. This can sometimes lead to slight skin reddening
following a treatment. This redness is temporary and should completely disappear after 24 hours.
NOTE:
• If redness or a burning sensation occurs and lasts for several minutes, apply a cool cloth/pad to soothe
the area.
• If any pigment changes in the skin, e.g., lightening or darkening, are observed, stop using the device.
Seek medical advice to determine the cause which may be due to an underlying medical condition.
Treatment plan
Start-up phase
Maintenance treatment
The typical hair growth cycle varies between individuals and could take up to 16 months depending on
body area (underarm, lower leg). Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to
treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin. For this
reason, we recommend a start-up phase with one treatment per week over a period of 4 -12 weeks.
In case you no longer see hair growing, you do not need to complete the full 12 weekly treatments. You can
switch to the maintenance treatments.
After treatment
Once you have completed your treatment, unplug the mains cord from the electrical outlet.
After treatment, we recommend using sunscreen SPF 15 whenever treated areas may be exposed to the
sun. We recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources, such as tanning booths or solariums.
Avoid any activity or skin products that may irritate your skin for 24 hours after treatment. This includes
using hot tubs or saunas, wearing tight-fitting clothing, using bleaching creams, perfumed products or
exfoliation products. The above may cause irritation, such as itching and redness, in the treated areas.
Cleaning and storage
After each treatment, inspect the treatment window (1), the skin tone sensor (2), the glass filter (3) and the
built-in reflector for damage.
Do not touch the glass filter immediately after use to allow it to cool down.
Wipe the treatment window with a dry, lint-free cloth if any marks or black spots are visible.
Do not rinse or immerse the device in water or any other liquid.
Store the device in a cool, dry place. Make sure the treatment window and skin sensor are protected from
damage.
Possible side effects
Some people will experience slight discomfort (e.g. heat or redness of the skin) when using the device –
this is normal. You may feel heat and tingling when activating the flash, followed by redness in the skin.
This type of reaction usually disappears within 24 hours. Adverse reactions are usually immediate or
appear within 24 hours. In rare cases, they may take up to 72 hours to appear. If you experience abnormal
skin reactions please contact your physician.
