Using the appliance
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Light intensity’ to determine which light intensities are most
suitable for your skin and body hair colour.
Shave the area you intend to treat before you use the appliance (see
chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Preparing treatment areas’).
If the treatment becomes painful at any point in time, reduce the light
intensity setting until the treatment is comfortable again. If you notice skin
reactions stronger than slight redness, stop the treatment immediately and
read section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter.
First use and skin test
When you use the appliance for the first time or after recent tanning, we
advise you to perform a skin test on
each
area to be treated to check
your skin’s reaction to the treatment and to get accustomed to light-based
treatment.

Insert the small plug into the appliance and put the adapter in the
wall socket.
Note: Make sure the body attachment is placed on the appliance.

the appropriate light intensity.
