Light-based hair reduction is one of the most effective methods to treat unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results. It is different from current home hair removal methods because it significantly reduces hair regrowth. [. . . ] Tip: For easier use, stretch the skin you want to treat. On areas with softer skin, you may need to exert more pressure on the appliance to push in all contact switches. Note: Bony areas like shinbone, ankles or ribs are more sensitive than other areas of the body. When you press the appliance hard onto these areas, the skin can be more susceptible to skin reactions like irritation and redness. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter. Press the appliance onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready to flash’ light go on, but no harder. 7 Press the flash button to release a flash. Now you have 2 options to release the next flash: 18 English a Keep the flash button pressed. The appliance releases one flash after another as long as the safety ring is in full contact with the skin. Immediately after the appliance has flashed, slide the appliance to the next area. Make sure the safety ring is fully pressed onto the skin. This ‘Slide & Flash mode’ is especially convenient for treatment of larger areas like the legs. B Let go of the flash button after each flash. For the next flash, place the appliance on the area right next to the previously flashed area. Make sure the safety ring is fully pressed onto the skin. Note: After a few seconds, the appliance is ready to flash again, so make sure that you move it to the next area immediately after it has flashed. Do not treat exactly the same area multiple times during one session. This does not improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but increases the risk of skin reaction. Note: The visible light produced by the appliance is the reflection of the flash in the skin and is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear goggles during use. 8 To avoid untreated areas, always make sure there is some overlap with the previously treated area when you place the appliance on the skin. The effective light only comes out of the light exit window with integrated UV filter. [. . . ] The hair reduction results are not satisfactory. You have used a light intensity which is too low for you. You did not make enough overlaps when you used the appliance. Select a higher light intensity the next time. [. . . ]
