[. . . ] 10 For the next flash, repeat steps 6 to 9. 5 seconds until the appliance is ready to flash again. 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 reactions. 11 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. Make sure the flashes are produced close to each other. 12 Switch off the appliance after you have finished the treatment. 13 Check the light exit window and the attachment for hairs and dirt and clean the appliance after use (see chapter `Cleaning and maintenance'). Guidelines for treatment average treatment time Area Underarms Bikini line Entire bikini area One lower leg One full leg Upper lip/ chin/ sideburns Approx. Note:The average treatment times above have been observed during research and tests. Individual treatment times may vary from person to person. note: Fully charged batteries offer at least 320 flashes at intensity 5. How long you can use the appliance depends on the size of the area to be treated and the intensity setting used. Intended treatment areas The appliance is intended to treat unwanted hairs from the upper lip, chin, sideburns, underarms, arms, stomach, bikini area and legs. Using the appliance on the legs Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter `Preparing for use', section `Setting the light intensity' to see which settings are suitable for your legs. You can move the appliance up and down or across the leg, whichever is more convenient to you. Note: Bony areas like shinbone and ankles are more sensitive than other areas of the body. When you press the attachment hard onto these areas, the skin can be more susceptible to skin reactions, such as skin irritation and redness. See section `Possible side effects and skin reactions' in this chapter. Press the attachment onto the skin just hard enough to make the `ready to flash' light go on, but not harder. Tip:The appliance may leave imprints on the skin in the treated areas. [. . . ] Do not use the appliance if you have a very dark skin. Do not use it either if your body hair is light blond, red, grey or white. Select a lower light intensity the next time. If the skin reaction lasts longer than 3 days, contact your doctor. [. . . ]
