• Increasing the light intensity (can be set in levels 1 to 4) on the
one hand means improving the effectiveness of the applica-
tion, but on the other it means a higher risk likelihood for the
occurrence of side effects. Therefore always start an applica-
tion with the lowest level (level 1). Only if after several applica-
tions over a number of days you observe no side effects, you
should successively increase the light intensity (depending on
your skin and hair type, up to the values given in the table).
• In combination with shaving itching or dry skin may occur.
These symptoms are generally harmless and disappear after
a few hours.
• Strongly felt pain may occur during or after treatment in the
following instances:
- if the light intensity is too strong for your skin tone;
- if you apply the device to unshaven skin;
- if the same skin area was treated several times with
light pulses;
- if you use the device on open wounds, infections, tattoos,
burns etc.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by chil-
dren without supervision.
