• SR Mode (Skin Rejuvenation): 640-1200nm wavelength.
• Face Mode: 530-1200nm wavelength.
• Arm Mode: 550-1200nm wavelength.
• Leg Mode: 560-1200nm wavelength.
• Armpit Mode: 580-1200nm wavelength.
• Bikini Mode: 620-1200nm wavelength.

Each mode adjusts the pulsed light's power and wavelength to suit the specific characteristics of hair and skin in that area.

5.3 Treatment Frequency

• Weeks 1-2: 3-4 times per week.
• Weeks 2-3: 2-3 times per week.
• After 4 Weeks: 2 times monthly or once monthly, as needed for maintenance.

Consistency is key for optimal results. Hair growth cycles vary, so continued use is necessary to target all hair follicles.

6. Skin Tone and Hair Color Suitability

The effectiveness and safety of IPL hair removal depend on your skin tone and hair color. IPL technology targets the melanin in hair follicles. Therefore, it is most effective on darker hair colors and lighter skin tones.

Image: Chart indicating suitable skin tones and hair colors for JOVS IPL device use.

• Suitable Skin Tones: Light to medium skin tones.
• Unsuitable Skin Tones: Very dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types V and VI) due to the risk of skin damage.
• Suitable Hair Colors: Black, dark brown, brown, light brown hair.
• Unsuitable Hair Colors: White, grey, red, or very light blonde hair, as these colors contain insufficient melanin for IPL to be effective.

Always consult the skin tone chart in the image to determine if this device is suitable for you.

7. Maintenance and Storage

• Cleaning: After each use, ensure the device is unplugged and cooled down. Gently wipe the light emission window with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Storage: Store the device in its original packaging or a protective case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children.
• Cord Care: Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the device. Avoid kinking or stressing the cord.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your JOVS IPL device, please consider the following general troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Turning On: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working power outlet. Check if the Energy Level Switching Ring is set to a level other than 0.
• No Flash: Verify that the light emission window is in full and firm contact with your skin. The device has a skin contact sensor for safety. Ensure the device is not in standby mode.
• Discomfort During Use: Reduce the energy intensity level. Ensure your skin is properly prepared (shaved, clean, dry). The Sapphire Ice-Cooling system should minimize discomfort, but individual sensitivity varies.
• Inconsistent Results: Ensure you are following the recommended treatment schedule and applying the device consistently to all areas. Verify your skin tone and hair color are suitable for IPL treatment.
