Note
:
If epilation causes any skin allergy, stop using the epilator and refer to your doctor.
Pre-use test
- If you are using the appliance for the first time, you must first perform a test to determine
the intensity level most suited to your skin type.
- To do this, apply pulsed light on an area close to the area to be treated. Start at the lowest
level and, if no skin discomfort is noticed, gradually increase the intensity.
- Please note that the appliance cannot be used on dark skin or on blond, red, or white hair.
(Fig. 1-2)
- After the skin test, wait 24 hours to see if your skin reacts. If your skin reacts negatively,
repeat the skin test at a lower intensity level. Select an intensity level that does not cause
a reaction on your skin after using the epilator.
Operating instructions
Manual Mode use:
1. Connect the power adapter to the epilator and plug the latter to the mains socket. The
indicator will light up pale red.
2. Hold down the power/intensity button for a few seconds to switch on the device. The
display will show the number of remaining light pulses, a bar indicating intensity level 1,
and an arrow indicating Manual Mode use. The light indicator will light up red when the
device is in preparation and will change to white when ready for use. Fig. 4
3. Select the desired intensity level by repeatedly pressing the power/intensity button.
The number of bars on the display will increase from 1 to 5. Always start at the lowest
intensity level to avoid skin damage.
Please note
As the intensity level increases, so do the results as well as the risk of side effects. For detailed
instructions on setting the intensity level, see the section "Choosing the appropriate intensity
level".
1. Place the epilator on the skin at a 90° angle. (Fig. 5)
2. When the light indicator flashes white, press the pulsed-light emission button once to
emit a light pulse.
3. Move the epilator to the adjacent area and repeat steps 4 and 5. Repeat this process until
fully covering the treatment area.
Continuous Light Pulse Mode use:
4. Follow steps 1, 2, and 3 of Manual Mode use.
5. After selecting the intensity level and with the appliance away from the skin, press and

hold the pulsed-light emission button for a few seconds. The display will show 5 arrows
to indicate that the Continuous Light Pulse Mode is active. (Fig. 6)
6. Place the epilator on the skin at a 90° angle. (Fig. 5)
7. When the appliance detects it is correctly placed on the skin, it will emit a light pulse every
two seconds. Slide the epilator to the adjacent area between pulses, until covering the
entire treatment area.
Please note
- If you remove the epilator from the skin for more than 10 seconds, the epilator will return to
Manual Mode. You can also return to Manual Mode by pressing the pulsed-light emission
button once when the epilator is away from the skin.
- The epilator features a skin detection system. If not properly positioned on the skin, the
epilator light indicator will light up steady white and the appliance will not emit pulsed
light.
To avoid adverse effects:
- Do not treat the same area of skin more than once during a session. Avoid applying a light
pulse more than once on the same area.
- If your skin blisters or burns, stop using the device immediately.
- To avoid complications after use, do not expose the skin to the sun for 48 hours before and
after epilation. Sun exposure includes both direct and constant exposure for 15 minutes
without protection and unprotected exposure to diffuse sunlight for 1 hour. In the two
weeks following treatment, use SPF 30 or higher.
Choosing the appropriate intensity level
- The intensity level determines the intensity of the light reaching your skin. With a total of
five levels, the corresponding intensity bar shows the selected intensity. As the intensity
level increases, the risk of possible side effects and complications during epilation
increases as well. Always start using the product at the lowest intensity level.
- Choose the appropriate intensity for each body area. If no discomfort is noticed using
the minimum intensity level on first use, you can increase the intensity level by 1 in the
next epilation session. In case of discomfort, reduce the intensity level. To do so, use the
intensity button to select the desired intensity level.
- If you epilate other areas or have recently been in the sun, you should have your skin tested
to determine the appropriate intensity level.
Please note
Because the skin colour of each body area may be different, you will need to select the
appropriate intensity level for each area. The appliance does not automatically select the
appropriate intensity level.
