how to achieve optimal results

Optimal results cannot be obtained with a single session, since only hairs
in the anagen phase are susceptible to treatment with light. During a
treatment, hairs on a treated area are usually in different stages of the cycle
of hair growth. To treat all hairs successfully and to prevent that the hair
root becomes active again, you have to repeat the treatment every 2
weeks. It is recommended to adhere to this frequency. Better results are
not expected if you increase or decrease the treatment frequency. Clinical
trials have shown that this is the optimal frequency of use.
after treatment
after treatment it may happen that:
- Your skin shows slight redness and/or prickles, tingles or feels warm.
This reaction is harmless and disappears quickly.
- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the treated area for a
short while.
- Your skin may appear to be dry, as the combination of shaving and light
treatment may cause dry skin.
- Some hairs grow back although you use the appliance frequently.
This happens because hairs are in different stages of the cycle of hair
growth during treatment. The hairs that grow back tend to be softer
and thinner.
it is recommended to:
- Consult your doctor if skin irritation does not disappear within three
days (see chapter 'Important', section 'Caution').
- Wait with the next treatment until skin irritation has disappeared
completely. Perhaps you have used an intensity that was too high for
you. Use a lower intensity the next time.
- Do not take an intensive sunbath or suntan without proper protection
immediately after a treatment. If you want to go sunbathing after a
treatment, apply a sun blocker to the treated areas.
- Avoid swimming in chlorinated water for 48 hours after treatment.The
chlorine in the water can cause itchiness.
- Avoid applying any cosmetic substances to the treated areas
immediately after treatment.
