General information about facial hair removal.
The hair on the face differs from other body areas in its physiology. Its growing cycles
are different, and its characteristics, such as thickness, colour and depth of follicle are
different from body hair.
The face is more sensitive to hair removal due to sensitivity of nerves in some of its
areas. The skin on the face and neck is more likely to be exposed daily to the sun's UV
radiation and, therefore, may be more sensitive than other parts of your body.
When you should not use mē on the face
•
If your facial skin is sunburned or tanned, wait until the sunburn or tan fades prior to
performing a test pulse on a hidden area (i.e. under the chin). Evaluate the area
after 3 days to ensure no side effects have occurred and only then start treatment.
•
If you have undergone any professional facial treatment (such as a chemical peel,
laser/light/radio frequency treatment or injected dermal fillers) within the past 3
months.
•
If you have undergone any facial surgery (such as face lift, facial implant) within the
last three months or before complete healing, please consult with your doctor.
•
If you are taking any medications that cause sensitivity to the sun or have a history of
any skin disorders, consult with your doctor before using mē on the face or any other
body area.
•
Please refer to general list of Contraindications in the beginning of this User Guide.
