5.2 Pre-Treatment Skin Preparation
- Shave: Shave the area to be treated 12-24 hours before your session. Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams, as these remove the hair root which is necessary for IPL to be effective.

- Energy Levels: Press the power button briefly to cycle through the 5 energy levels. Start with Level 1 and gradually increase as your skin tolerates it. Higher levels provide more effective results.
- Auto Mode: Ideal for large areas like legs, arms, and back. Press and hold the flash button for continuous flashes when the device is in full contact with the skin.
- Manual Mode: Suitable for smaller, sensitive, or precise areas such as the bikini line, armpits, and face. Press the flash button once for each individual flash.
- Ice Applying Mode: This mode activates the double ice cooling system, which cools the skin to approximately 10°C, providing a comfortable and painless experience during and after treatment. This function is active during IPL flashes.

- For Manual Mode, press the flash button once for each area. Move to the next adjacent area, ensuring slight overlap to avoid missed spots.
- For Auto Mode, hold the flash button down and glide the device slowly over the skin, maintaining continuous contact.
- Treat each area 1-2 times per session. Avoid treating the same spot multiple times in one session to prevent overheating.
