power level increases by 1 up to 5, after which it returns to level 1.
Perform this action until the desired level is set.
The power level LED (4D) will light up in line with the set power level.

sKiN colour sENsor (1)
Using the pulsed light epilation system on dark skin can cause adverse effects
such as burns, blisters and changes in the colour of the skin (hyper or hypo-
pigmentation).
The appliance has a skin colour sensor (1) 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.
If the skin colour sensor (1) detects a complexion that is too dark for the
treatment, the appliance automatically stops emitting the light pulses and the
skin colour indication LED (4B) starts flashing quickly. If this occurs, try to use
the appliance on another part of the body or contact the IMETEC service centre.

The contact sensor only allows the pulse to be emitted when the treatment
surface (2) is in full contact with the skin.
Furthermore, when the treatment surface (2) is in contact with the skin and is
made to slide on it, the appliance automatically emits repeated pulses.

The device can be applied in two ways: "by Pulse" and "Sliding".

By pulse method
The by pulse method is optimal when using higher power levels as it allows for
better control of the skin areas being covered. A light pulse is emitted every
time the treatment surface (2) is pressed on the skin.
A precise technique must be followed when using the by pulse method to
make sure the entire treatment area is covered and dangerous overlapped
pulses are prevented:
•
Imagine the treatment area is divided in rows.
•
Emit a light pulse proceeding in order, starting from one end of each row
and continuing to the other end (from the bottom upwards or right to left,
depending on the treatment area).
The area covered by the treatment surface (2) leaves temporary marks on the
skin due to the light pressure applied by the handpiece.
These marks remain visible for a few moments and are useful to establish the
subsequent pulse position.
sliding method
The Sliding method is optimal when using low power levels and it allows for faster
and more efficient sessions. When using the Sliding method, keep the treatment
surface (2) pressed against the skin and slide the device in a slow gliding motion
while remaining in contact with the skin, along the area to be treated.
NotE: slide the appliance on the skin at a speed that allows sections
that are not to be treated to be avoided and prevents overlapped pulses.
At lower power levels (1 and 2), the device takes only 1 to 1.5 seconds to
recharge between one pulse and another, thereby allowing an uninterrupted
sequence of flashes.
