and skin contact sensor come into full contact with the skin. This mode guarantees precise
treatment, e.g. for knees or ankles.
Note
If the device does not emit any light pulses and the indicator lamp is orange, this indicates
that there is not enough contact between the skin sensor and the skin.
If the device does not emit any light pulses and the indicator lamp is red, this indicates that
the skin surface to be treated is too dark.
Note
Allow the device to cool for a few minutes if it seems too hot for you. You can continue your
treatment as normal after a short cooling period.
7.2 Special instructions for facial treatments
WARNING
• Men must not use this device on the face.
• Do not use the device on the face at an energy level higher than 2. Do not use the device
on the face above the cheekbones or on the eyes, eyebrows or eyelashes, as this could
result in severe damage to the eyes. Do not use the device on mucous membranes in
the nose or throat area.
• The skin on your face is very sensitive and requires special care. Observe all warning and
safety notes in these instructions for use to prevent adverse consequences. We recom-
mend that you first perform a treatment on your body and get to know the device before
performing facial treatment. The device can be used to treat all areas of the face below
the cheekbones, such as the upper lip, cheeks, jaw, chin and neck.
1. You must carry out a skin sensitivity test 48 hours before treatment. The skin sensitivity
test should be performed on an area without hair, such as below the ear or on the side of
the neck, to determine the suitable energy level.
WARNING
Do not treat the tested area until at least one week after performing the skin sensitivity test.
2. Mark the treated area with a white eyeliner pencil. Use the marking as an orientation line
for issuing the pulses. This way you can prevent overlapping the treatment areas or treat-
ing other areas of the face by mistake.
3. Use a mirror to position the device correctly on the treatment area.
4. Follow the instructions for use and observe the following specific instructions in particular.
