TREATMENT MODES

Depending on the area you wish to treat you can choose between 

Gliding mode

 and 

Precision mode

: 

The gliding mode enables fast and efficient treatments and is recommended for large skin surface areas 
(e.g. legs, arms, chest and back) while the precision mode is recommended for treating sensitive or small, 
hard-to reach areas such as knees, shins, ankles, bikini line or underarm and face for females. 

The area to be treated has to be hair-free, clean and dry. Before pressing the treatment button, look away 
from the device to avoid the bright light. 

Gliding mode

Precision mode

1.  Place the treatment window (1) firmly on your skin, ensuring both skin sensors (2) have skin contact. 

Power bars (3) show white LEDs. 

2.  Press and hold the treatment button (5). The 

device will begin to flash. 

2.  Press and instantly release the treatment button 

(5). The device will emit a flash.

3.  Move the device slowly and continuously from 

the bottom to the top of the treatment area. 
Make sure to always keep full skin contact so 
that the device flashes continuously.

3.  Lift off the device and place it onto the next 

adjacent spot to be treated. Again, wait for the 
power bars to show white LEDs. Then press and 
release the treatment button.

Once you have completed your first gliding stroke, 
lift the device off the treatment area. Repeat steps 
1 to 3 to treat the next adjacent area in a parallel 
stroke.

Continue treatment spot by spot until you have 
completed the entire area you wish to treat. 

Make sure to avoid missed areas by placing the treatment window directly next to the previously treated 
spot without leaving any space between treated areas.  

If you feel intense pain, stop treatment immediately and consult your physician before using the device again.

Standby mode

After 10 minutes of inactivity, the device will revert to standby mode (which will be indicated by one blinking 
light on the power indicator bars). To return to READY mode, press any key or remove/replace the power cord. 

Sleep mode

If the device is not operated (no button push) for 60 minutes, it will enter sleep mode (low power state). 
The Power bar LEDs are off. To return to READY mode, press any key or remove/replace the mains cord. 
On wake-up the device will follow the standard Power on procedure (power bars will light up completely 
once).

Facial treatment (female usage only) 

Before Treatment

• 

Ensure you have done a patch test before treating the face (see chapter «Patch Test»). 

• 

Remove any visible hair and cosmetics, lotions and creams from the area you wish to treat.

• 

You may choose to use a mirror to help position the treatment window on the face. 

Treating the face, cheek and jaw (use the «Precision mode»)

Place the treatment window on your skin. Wait for the power bars to show white LEDs. Before pressing the 
treatment button, close your eyes or look away to avoid the bright light. Avoid treating the same area twice 
as this may increase the chance of producing adverse reactions.
