24 hours before treatment check for any reaction by testing a small area.
The patch test will confirm the maximum power level for your skin type.
Treat an area on each power level (e.g. arm, leg) up to the maximum power level for your skin type
(see Skin Chart). Use the (+) button to increase the power level by a single step each time and
work your way along the area with the wand on a different part of the skin each time.
If you feel any discomfort the previous power level is the maximum power level you should use.
A slight redness may occur, but not always, within an hour of treatment. However, if any redness
remains after 24 hours this would indicate the power level selected was too high for your skin
type.
IMPORTANT: Because skin colour varies on different areas of the body, you may find that you need
different power level settings for different areas. Each area should be tested for the appropriate
maximum power level.
