THE pATCH TEST
It is recommended to perform a patch test before starting treatment, in
order to identify the maximum tolerance of your skin to light pulses. Refer to
"Information before use" for instructions regarding the patch test.
DURING TREATMENT
Do not treat the same section of skin more than once per hair
removal session!
Do not overlap the pulses!
•
STOP USING THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY if blisters form or the
skin burns.
•
Always make sure that the treatment surface (6A-16A) is pointed
towards the skin and is entirely in contact with it.
•
Remove the treatment surface (6A-16A) from the skin if either (6A-16A)
becomes excessively hot.
AFTER TREATMENT
Do not expose the skin to the sun and/or tanning beds after
treatment.
In case of exposure to the sun during the two weeks following a treatment
session, protect the treated skin with sun cream SPF 30 or higher.
ATTENTION: treatment may cause a temporary change in pigmentation
(refer to "Possible side effects").
