If this occurs, try to use the appliance on another part of the body or contact
the IMETEC service centre.
tHE tWo applicatioN mEtHoDs
The device can be applied in two ways: "by Pulse" and "Sliding".
By pulse method
The by pulse method is optimal when using higher power levels as it allows for
better control of the skin areas being covered. Each time the pulse activation
button is pressed (2), a light pulse is emitted.
A precise technique must be followed when using the by pulse method 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 (1A) 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.
sliding method
The Sliding method is optimal when using low power levels and it allows for
faster and more efficient sessions. When using the Sliding method, keep the
pulse activation button (2) pressed and slide the device in a slow gliding motion
while remaining in contact with the skin, along the area to be treated.

At lower power levels (1 and 2), the device takes only 1 to 1.5 seconds to
recharge between one pulse and another, thereby allowing an uninterrupted
sequence of flashes.
WarNiNG! Do Not overlap impulses.
Do Not treat the same area of skin more than once
per hair removal session!
if an excessive heat is felt, skin itches or it blisters or
burns, stop usE immEDiatElY.
HoW to pErForm tHE patcH tEst
Since the skin tone and its sensitivity vary 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.
• Identify a small area that is to be treated.
• Shave the area that is to be treated.
• After setting the lowest power level, apply the handpiece to the area. Grip the
handpiece correctly making sure that your hand is touching the galvanic energy base
electrode (7). If you do not feel any discomfort, deliver the first pulse. If no discomfort
is felt after the pulse, increase the power to the next level, move the handpiece to
the adjacent skin area and emit another pulse. Increase the power level on each
subsequent area of skin until the maximum tolerable level for the skin type. A feeling
of heat can be felt on the skin during the treatment, and this is normal. If discomfort
is felt, the maximum tolerable power level is the previous one.
