growth, hirsutism or increased hair growth on the face and neck.
If in doubt, consult your doctor.
THE COLOUR OF YOUR SKIN
The appliance removes unwanted hair and selectively affects the hair pigment.
Various amounts of pigment (melanin) are also found in the surrounding skin
tissue. The amount of pigment in the skin, which affects the skin tone, determines
the risk posed to the skin when any type of pulsed light epilation is used.

Compare your complexion with the skin tone range (A)
provided in this manual and/or on the package of the product
before using the appliance.
NATURALLY DARK SKIN
DO NOT use the appliance on naturally dark skin!
Using the appliance on dark skin can cause adverse effects such as burns,
blisters and changes in the colour of the skin (hyper or hypo-pigmentation).
SKIN COLOUR SENSOR
The appliance has a skin colour sensor (1B) 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. The skin colour sensor (1B) ensures that
pulses are only emitted on suitable skin tones.
TANNED SKIN
DO NOT use the appliance with power levels from 2 to 5 on
tanned skin or after recent exposure to the sun and/or tanning
beds! Do not expose the treated areas to the sun. Such use
can cause serious burns, wounds, blisters and changes in the
colour of the skin (hyper or hypo-pigmentation).
Tanned skin, especially after sun exposure, contains large amounts of
melanin.
