Tip: White eye pencil
To help you remember what part of your skin you have already treated,
you can mark sections on your leg with a white eye pencil.
1 Take a white eye pencil and draw a line on your leg. Start at any point
of your leg and draw a straight line.
2 Draw additional lines at a distance of 3cm from the first line if you
use the appliance horizontally or at a distance of 1cm if you use the
appliance vertically.
Perform the treatment section by section. If you need to take a break
during a session, just mark the last treated area with the same eye pencil
and resume the treatment later.
Note: Only use a white eye pencil. Dark colours absorb the light and may
cause skin irritation.
How to achieve optimal results
- It is normal that hairs are still visible after the first few treatments (see
chapter 'Introduction', section 'Working principle' for more information).
- To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair follicle from
becoming active again, the treatments have to be repeated once every
two weeks for the first two to three months. Your skin should be
smooth by then. Please read section 'Maintenance phase' to find out
how you can keep these results.
Maintenance phase
- To ensure that your skin stays smooth, we advise you to repeat the
treatment every four to six weeks. The time between treatments may
vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also across different
body areas. If too many hairs grow back between treatments, simply
shorten the treatment interval again, but do not treat any area more
often than once every two weeks. When you use the appliance more
frequently than recommended, you do not increase the effectiveness
but you do increase the risk of skin reactions.
Possible side effects and skin reactions
Common skin reactions:
- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickles, tingle or feel
warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.
- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the treated area for a
short while. If this does not disappear within 3 days, we advise you to
consult a doctor.
- Dry skin and itching may occur because of the combination of shaving
and light treatment. This is harmless and disappears within a few days.
You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet cloth. If dryness
persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturiser on the treated area
24 hours after the treatment.
