6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Performing a Treatment
- Place Device: Position the treatment window firmly against your skin, ensuring full contact. The skin tone sensor will automatically detect your skin tone and adjust the light intensity.
- Activate Pulse: Press the Activation Button. A light flash will be emitted. If the device does not flash, ensure full skin contact and that your skin tone is suitable for treatment.
- Move to Next Area: Lift the device slightly and move it to the next adjacent area. Overlap slightly to ensure complete coverage.
- Treatment Frequency: For optimal results, use the device once a week for the first 4-12 weeks, then monthly or as needed for maintenance.
6.2. Using the Precision Head
For smaller or more sensitive areas like the upper lip or bikini line, attach the precision head to the treatment window. This reduces the treatment area, allowing for more targeted application.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, unplug the device and wipe the treatment window and skin tone sensor with a soft, dry cloth. 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.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Device does not power on. | Not properly connected to power. | Ensure the power supply is securely plugged into both the device and the wall outlet. |
| Device does not flash. | Insufficient skin contact or unsuitable skin tone. | Ensure the treatment window is in full contact with the skin. The device will not flash if your skin tone is too dark for safe treatment. |
