Solution
For proper hair-reduction results, you have to make overlaps
when you use the appliance. See chapter 'Using the appliance',
section 'Subsequent use', step 4.
To remove all hairs successfully and to prevent the hair
root from becoming active again, the treatments have to be
repeated once every two weeks for the first two months.
To ensure that your skin stays smooth, we advise you to repeat
the treatment every four to six weeks. The time between
treatments may vary based on your individual hair regrowth
and also across different body areas. If too many hairs grow
back between treatments, simply shorten the treatment
interval again, but do not treat any area more often than once
every two weeks. When you use the appliance more frequently
than recommended, you do not increase the effectiveness but
you do increase the risk of skin reactions.
Continue using the device for at least 6 months, as hair
regrowth can still decrease over the course of this period.
Also take into account the other solutions to this problem.
Do not use the appliance if your body hair is light blond,
red, grey or white. Do not use the appliance either if you
havedark skin. Consult the body hair and skin colour table in
theQuick Start Guide.
For proper hair-reduction results, you have to make overlaps
when you use the appliance. See chapter 'Using the appliance',
section 'Subsequent use', step 4.
This is normal. It is part of the natural cycle of hair growth
that hair starts growing again. The hairs that come back,
however, tend to be softer and thinner.
