3. Understanding IPL Technology

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology has been clinically proven safe and effective for long-term hair reduction for over 15 years. The IPL Velvet Skin Pro uses optical energy to deactivate hair growth. The melanin pigment in the hair absorbs the light from the flash emitted by the IPL device. This generates heat, which deactivates the hair follicle (the root of the hair). As a result, the hair falls out and does not regrow.

IPL is most effective on certain hair and skin color combinations. The device is designed to work safely and effectively within these parameters.

4. Setup

1. Charge the Device: Before using the device for the first time, ensure it is fully charged. Connect the provided power adapter to the device and a power outlet.
2. Skin and Contact Sensor: The device is equipped with a 2-in-1 skin type and skin contact sensor. This sensor ensures safe operation by only allowing flashes when the device is in full contact with suitable skin.
3. Power On and Select Intensity: Press the power button to turn on the device. Select the appropriate intensity level based on your skin type and comfort. Refer to the skin compatibility chart for guidance.
4. Attach Precision Head (if needed): For smaller or sensitive areas like the face or bikini line, attach the precision head to the device.

5. Operating Instructions

For optimal and lasting results, regular use of the Beurer IPL Velvet Skin Pro is necessary. Follow these steps for effective treatment:

1. Prepare the Skin: Ensure the treatment area is clean, dry, and free of hair (shave prior to treatment). Do not wax or pluck hair before IPL treatment, as the hair follicle needs to be present for the light to be absorbed.
2. Select Intensity Level: Based on your skin tone and hair color, choose the appropriate intensity level. Start with a lower setting and gradually increase if comfortable.
3. Position the Device: Place the light surface of the device firmly against the skin. The skin contact sensor will ensure proper placement.
4. Initiate Flash: Press the flash button. For larger areas, use the 'Auto-Flash' mode by holding down the flash button and gliding the device over the skin.
5. Treat All Areas: Move the device systematically across the desired treatment area, ensuring all parts are covered without overlapping too much.
6. Treatment Duration: A full body treatment takes approximately 21 minutes.
7. Post-Treatment Care: After treatment, you may apply a soothing lotion if desired. Avoid direct sun exposure on treated areas immediately after.

Using the 'beurer MyIPL' App

The free 'beurer MyIPL' app provides a personalized treatment plan and guides you step-by-step throughout your hair removal journey. It offers reminders and helps you track your progress.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Beurer IPL Velvet Skin Pro, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the light window and the device's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the device in its original box or a protective case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Battery Care: To maintain battery health, avoid completely discharging the battery frequently. Charge the device regularly, even if not in use for extended periods.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Beurer IPL Velvet Skin Pro, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Turning On: Ensure the device is fully charged. If it's charged, try pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds.
• No Flash Emitted: Check if the device is in full contact with your skin. The skin contact sensor prevents flashes if contact is not sufficient. Also, ensure your skin tone is compatible with IPL treatment (refer to the skin compatibility chart).
• Device Overheating: If the device feels excessively warm, turn it off and allow it to cool down for a few minutes before resuming use. Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked.
• App Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the device is within range. Restart both the app and the device if connection problems persist.

If the problem persists after attempting these steps, please refer to the warranty and support section for further assistance.
