Cooling Function
- The Cooling Function activates a cooling plate to alleviate the sensation of heat when
using the epilator on sensitive areas or if you use the device for a long time.
- To activate the Cooling Function during epilation, press the Cooling Function button once.
A snowflake icon will appear on the display, indicating that the function is active. (Fig. 7)
- You can also use the Cooling Function after treatment to soothe the skin. To do this, press
and hold the Cooling Function button for a few seconds. The display will show "ICE" and the
snowflake icon, and the light indicator will switch off. (Fig. 8)
- When this function is active, the appliance will not emit pulsed light.
- To return to the epilation function, press and hold the Cooling Function button again for a
few seconds.
After using the device
1. When you finish an epilation session, press and hold the power/intensity button until the
appliance switches off.
2. Unplug the adapter from the power socket and the cord from the appliance.
3. Store it in its original box and keep it away from water.
Skin care after an epilation session
Do not expose the treated to the sun. To protect newly treated skin when exposed to sunlight,
be sure to apply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher for 2 weeks after each epilation session.
Side effects and complications
Normally, no complications occur during use of the epilator. However, the use of pulsed-light
devices carries risk of complications. It is therefore important that you understand the possible
risks and complications during use of the device.

Slight skin discomfort
Although IPL epilation does not usually cause discomfort, some users may experience slight
discomfort during use. This mild discomfort is often described as a slight warmth and tingling
sensation, usually following the emission of pulsed light. Excessive discomfort means that
you should no longer use the device, as your skin cannot tolerate this epilation method, or the
intensity level set is too high.
Skin redness
Your skin may become red for up to 24 hours after using the product. If skin redness does not
disappear in 2 to 3 days, refer to your doctor.
Skin sensitivity or allergy
The area-of-treatment skin may become more sensitive, so you may notice dryness or flaking
of the skin.
Skin injury or burn
Very rarely, burns or wounds to the skin can occur following use of the device. This is often due
to using too high an intensity level or using the device on unsuitable areas such as very dark
skin or on tattoos. If wounds or burns appear on the skin, stop using the appliance and refer
to your doctor.
Marks or scars
Although rarely, using the epilator can leave scars. Possible scars left by the epilator are often
in the form of a smooth, white wound on the skin (hypotrophic). However, it can be large and
red (hypertrophic) and extend beyond the margins of the wound itself (keloid). In this case,
subsequent cosmetic treatments may be necessary to improve the appearance of the scar. If
