ATTENTION
It is recommended to always start the first hair removal session by setting
the lowest power level (level 1).
If you feel no discomfort during the hair removal session with the power
level set to the lowest, you can increase the power to level 2 at the next
session, and so on for each subsequent session.
Do not increase the power level if you feel an abnormal discomfort during
or after the treatment! (See "Possible side effects").
Do not increase the power level during a hair removal session, even if no
discomfort is felt: side effects can also arise some time after the session.
SKIN COLOUR SENSOR (5B)
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 (5B) 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 (5B) detects a complexion that is too dark for the
treatment, the appliance stops emitting the light pulses automatically and the
skin colour check LEDs (6A) start to flash.
If this occurs, try to use the appliance on another part of the body or contact
the IMETEC service centre.

COVERING THE ENTIRE TREATMENT AREA
A precise technique must be followed during the session 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 (5A or 15A) 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.
ATTENTION
Do not overlap the pulses!
Do not treat the same section of skin more than once per hair removal session!
STOP USING THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY if excessive heat or tingling
is felt or blisters or small burns appear on the skin!
HOW TO PERFORM THE PATCH TEST
Since the skin tone and sensitivity varies from one body part to another, a
patch test should be performed on each part of the body that is to be treated.
•
First check the tone of your skin by comparing it to the table on the package
and in the instruction manual.
