bikini area.
Reduce the light intensity to a level that is
comfortable for you. See chapter 'Preparing for

do not use the appliance any more. Contact the
Consumer Care Centre in your country, your
Philips dealer or a Philips service centre.
Do not use the appliance if your body hair is light
blond, red, grey or white. Do not use the appliance
either if you have very dark skin.
No action required.
Select a lower light intensity the next
time. See chapter 'Preparing for use', section
'Setting the light intensity.
If the skin reaction lasts longer than 3 days, contact
your doctor.
Select a higher light intensity the next time.
Make sure you let the appliance give enough
flashes. See chapter 'Preparing for use', section

make overlaps when you use the appliance. See

Use the appliance once every 2 weeks.

It is part of the natural cycle of hair growth that
hair starts growing again. The hairs that come back,
however, tend to be softer and thinner.
