Now you have 2 options to release the next flash: 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 reactions. Note:The visible light produced by the appliance is the reflection of the flash on 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 a slight 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. 9 Switch off the appliance after you have finished the treatment. 10 Check the light exit window and the attachment for hairs and dirt and clean the appliance after use (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
