Upper lip area

• 

Avoid contact with the lips and the nostrils. The central area below the nostrils is often sensitive.

• 

Do not use on permanent / semi-permanent lip liner on the lip margin.

• 

TIP: You can press your lips together to ensure that the light does not activate on the upper lip itself.

Neck and chin

Hair growth under the chin can be denser and coarser. This can sometimes lead to slight skin reddening 
following a treatment. This redness is temporary and should completely disappear after 24 hours.

NOTE:

• 

If redness or a burning sensation occurs and lasts for several minutes, apply a cool cloth/pad to soothe 
the area.

• 

If any pigment changes in the skin, e.g., lightening or darkening, are observed, stop using the device. 
Seek medical advice to determine the cause which may be due to an underlying medical condition.

TREATMENT PLAN

Start-up phase 

1 treatment per week (4-12 times) 

Maintenance treatment 

continue treating to your needs, e.g. once a month.  

The typical hair growth cycle varies between individuals and could take up to 16 months depending on 
body area (underarm, lower leg, bikini area). Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to 
treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin. For this 
reason, we recommend a start-up phase with one treatment per week over a period of 4 -12 weeks. 

In case you no longer see hair growing, you do not need to complete the full 12 weekly treatments. You can 
switch to the maintenance treatments. 

AFTER TREATMENT

Once you have completed your treatment, unplug the power supply from the electrical outlet to turn off the 
device.

The skin tone sensors (2) and the treatment window (1) should be inspected for damage and wiped down 
with a dry, lint free cloth. If any marks or black spots are seen, clean them off straight away after treatment.

Do not touch or clean the glass filter (10) for at least 5 minutes after use to allow it to cool down.

After treatment, we recommend using sunscreen SPF 15 whenever treated areas may be exposed to the 
sun.  We recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources, such as tanning booths or solariums.

Avoid any activity or skin products that may irritate your skin for 24 hours after treatment. This includes 
using hot tubs or saunas, wearing tight-fitting clothing, using bleaching creams, perfumed products or 
peeling products. The above may cause irritation, such as itching and redness, in the treated areas.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• 

After use, wipe down the device and especially the treatment window with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not 
rinse or immerse the device in water or any other liquid.

• 

To ensure maximum performance, it is important to keep the treatment window reflector (9) free from 
dirt, hair or other debris. To aid in the cleaning of this part, the front section is removable. Once 
removed, it can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Always ensure the front section is completely dry 
before re-fitting it.

• 

Store the device in a cool, dry place. Make sure the treatment window and skin sensors are protected 
from damage.
