preventive treatment before using the appliance.
• If you suffer from epilepsy.

The appliance may be less effective in removing hair from women
with hormonal disorders since they might cause excessive hair
growth, hirsutism or increased hair growth on the face and neck.
If in doubt, consult your doctor.
THE COLOUR OF YOUR SKIN
The appliance removes unwanted hair and selectively affects the hair pigment.
Various amounts of pigment (melanin) are also found in the surrounding skin
tissue. The amount of pigment in the skin, which affects the skin tone, determines
the risk posed to the skin when any type of pulsed light epilation is used.
Compare your complexion with the skin tone range (A)
provided in this manual and/or on the package of the product
before using the appliance.
NATURALLY DARK SKIN
DO NOT use the appliance on naturally dark skin!
Using the appliance on dark skin can cause adverse effects such as burns,
blisters and changes in the colour of the skin (hyper or hypo-pigmentation).
SKIN COLOUR SENSOR
The appliance has a skin colour sensor (6B) that measures the tone of the
skin in the area that is to be treated at the beginning of each session and
occasionally during the session. The skin colour sensor (6B) ensures that
pulses are only emitted on suitable skin tones.
TANNED SKIN
DO NOT use the appliance with power levels from 2 to 5 on
tanned skin or after recent exposure to the sun and/or tanning
beds! Do not expose the treated areas to the sun. Such use
can cause serious burns, wounds, blisters and changes in the
colour of the skin (hyper or hypo-pigmentation).
Tanned skin, especially after sun exposure, contains large amounts of melanin.
This applies to all types of skin and complexions, including those that do not
seem to tan quickly. The presence of large amounts of melanin, expose the
skin to greater risk when light epilation methods are used.
If you are using the device at power levels between 2 and 5, avoid
exposure to sunlight and/or tanning beds for 4 weeks before the
treatment!
You can continue to use the device after exposure to the sun only if
the power level is set to 1, which is the lowest.
