on the skin and is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear goggles
during use. Use the appliance in a well-lit room; this reduces the perceived
brightness of the flash.

Slide the appliance over the skin to the next area to be treated. As
long as it feels comfortable (not painful), increase the setting by one
level within the recommended range for your skin type and apply
one flash for each setting. Do not apply more than one flash on the
same spot.

When you have finished the treatment, press and hold the on/off
button for 2 seconds to switch off the appliance.

any reaction. If your skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting
that did not result in any skin reaction for subsequent use.
Subsequent use
1
Before every treatment, clean the body attachment, the light exit
window and the metallic frame inside the body attachment. For more
information see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
2
Start each treatment by selecting the light intensity very carefully,
based on your skin’s sensitivity and on how comfortable treatment
feels. See section ‘Recommended light intensities’ to select the right
setting for your skin type and hair colour combination.
Note: Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a number
of reasons. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter
for more information.
