Page 13: Long-Term Hair Removal
8. LONG-TERM HAIR REMOVAL The efficiency of hair removal varies from person to person according to body area, hair color, and how the device is used. A typical full hair growth cycle may take 18-24 months. During this time, multiple treatment sessions are required to achieve permanent hair removal. - Page 14 8.2 Energy levels The energy level determines the intensity of the light pulse delivered to your skin. As the energy level increases, so do hair removal results, as well as the risk of possible side effects and complications. The device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest), represented by 5 energy level indicator lights.
- Page 15 Gliding is the best technique for working at lower energy levels. Press the treatment window firmly against your skin and slowly glide over your skin (either across or down as shown in the image). Make sure that the treatment window is always touching your skin. At lower energy levels, the device takes only 1-1.5 seconds to recharge between pulses.
