Ice Cooling Function

The MLAY IPL device features an integrated ice cooling function to enhance comfort and protect the skin during treatment. When activated, the treatment window cools to approximately 4°C (39°F), significantly reducing the sensation of heat and minimizing the risk of skin irritation or redness.

To activate the ice cooling function, press the dedicated cooling button (if available) or ensure it is enabled through the device's settings. The cooling sensation will be noticeable upon contact with the skin.

Energy Levels and Flash Modes

The device offers 5 energy levels and 2 flash modes to suit different skin sensitivities and treatment areas.

• Energy Levels (1-5):
  • Start with Level 1 for your first treatment and gradually increase the energy level based on your comfort and skin reaction.
  • Higher energy levels deliver more intense light and can be more effective for coarser hair, but require careful skin monitoring.
• Flash Modes:
  • Automatic Mode: Ideal for larger body areas such as arms, legs, and back. The device will automatically flash when the treatment window is in full contact with the skin.
  • Manual Mode: Suitable for smaller, more sensitive, or precise areas like the upper lip, armpits, and bikini lines. Press the flash button for each individual flash.

Application Areas

The MLAY IPL Hair Removal Device is designed for full body hair removal, excluding the eyebrows.

Skin and Hair Color Compatibility

IPL technology works by targeting melanin in the hair follicle. Therefore, it is most effective on lighter skin tones and darker hair colors. The device is not suitable for very dark skin or very light hair (white, gray, red).

6. Initiate Flash:
   • In Manual Mode, press the flash button to emit a single flash.
   • In Automatic Mode, the device will flash automatically when full skin contact is detected.
7. Move to Next Area: After each flash, lift the device slightly and move it to the next adjacent area. Overlap slightly to ensure full coverage.
8. Complete Treatment: Continue until the entire desired area has been treated.
9. Power Off: Press and hold the power button to turn off the device after use.

Treatment Schedule and Expected Results

Consistent use is key to achieving optimal results. The IPL device works by gradually reducing hair growth over several weeks.

Image: A visual guide illustrating the hair removal process: original hair, natural hair loss after 4-8 weeks, melanin inhibition after 1-4 weeks, and lasting effect after 8 weeks of consistent IPL treatment.

• Weeks 1-4: Use the device 2-3 times per week. Hair growth will begin to slow, and some hair may fall out naturally.
• Weeks 5-8: Reduce usage to 1-2 times per week. Hair will become finer and sparser.
• After 8 Weeks: Use once every 2-4 weeks for maintenance as needed. Significant hair reduction should be noticeable, with lasting effects.

Individual results may vary based on hair type, skin tone, and consistency of use.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Treatment Window: After each use, ensure the device is powered off and unplugged. Use a soft, dry cloth or a cotton swab to gently wipe the treatment window. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage.
• Lamp Head Replacement: The device comes with a replaceable lamp head. When the flash count on the display approaches zero, or if you notice a decrease in effectiveness, replace the lamp head according to the instructions provided with the replacement part.
