How to use

Preparing the treatment area
Remove any visible hair on the skin before using the device. You may use your preferred hair removal method. To keep the treat-
ment window clean and intact and prevent hair burns, ensure there is no hair remaining on the skin surface. Clean the treatment
area and pat it dry.
To power on the device:
Use the mains cord (8) to connect the base station to an electrical outlet. Press the treatment button (5) to activate the
device. The ready indicator (4) lights up once and the fan starts running. This means the device is in READY mode. During
operation, the device will heat up slightly.
After 10 minutes without use, the device is automatically deactivated. To reactivate it, press the treatment button.
Patch Test
Before your fi rst treatment, we recommend you test your skin for reaction on a small area of skin of the body part you plan to
treat (about 2 x 3 cm in size; equivalent to the size of two fl ashes, side by side).
Perform a patch test as described below in chapter «Treatment methods», section «STAMPING».
Wait 48 hours to examine the test area. If the skin appears normal, begin your fi rst treatment. If a skin reaction develops,
discontinue using the device and consult your physician.

Treatment methods

The area to be treated must be hair-free, clean and dry. Before pushing the treatment button, look away from the device to
avoid the bright light.
GLIDING
for fast and efficient treatment
of large areas (e.g. legs).
1. Place the treatment window (1) firmly on your skin. When the entire front area has skin contact, the ready indicator (4)
shows white light to confirm that the device is ready to flash. (When an invalid skin tone is measured, the ready indicator
shows red light and the device will not flash.)
2. Press and hold the treatment button (5).
The device will begin to flash.
3. Move the device slowly and continuously from the
bottom to the top of the treatment area. Make sure to
always keep full skin contact so that the device flashes
continuously.
Once the gliding stroke is completed, lift the device off the
treatment area. Repeat steps 1-3
to treat the next adjacent area in a parallel stroke.
Make sure you avoid missed areas by placing the treatment window directly next to the previously treated spot without leaving
any space between treated areas. Avoid overlapping treatment or treating the same area twice as this may increase the
chance of producing adverse reactions.
If you feel intense pain, stop treatment immediately and consult your physician before using the device again.
STAMPING
for treating small,
hard-to reach areas
(e.g. face for females, bikini line,
underarms, knee, chin, ankles)
2. Press and instantly release the treatment button (5).
The device will emit a flash.
3. Lift off the device and place it onto the next adjacent
spot to be treated. Wait for the ready indicator to show
white light. Then press and release the treatment
button.
Continue treatment spot by spot until you have completed
the entire area you wish to treat.
