Beurer IPL 5500 Instrucciones De Uso página 30

Note
The device works best on dark hair types or on hair with a high melanin content. Black and
dark brown hair shows the best response and, although brown and light brown hair will also
respond to the treatment, it usually requires more hair removal sessions. Red hair could pro-
duce a reaction. White, grey or blond hair does not usually respond to the device, although
some users have noticed results after multiple hair removal sessions.
