The Homelight appliance is not suitable for use by people with phototype
VI skin.
The removable intensity selection guide helps you to select the required
power level to best suit your skin colour for treatment with the Homelight.
It shows the diff erent skin colours and the corresponding power levels.
It can be removed easily from the unit and can be applied to the back of wrist, for example, (generally
the darkest part of the body because it gets the most exposure to the sun) to discover your skin
phototype. This guide must be used along with the table below for a safe use of the Homelight
appliance.
Read the instructions fully before using the appliance and refer to the table below to select the safe
power level every time you carry out a treatment.
