5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Device Placement and Skin Contact

Press the device firmly against your skin, ensuring full contact. The device will only flash when it detects proper skin contact and a suitable skin tone. A white light indicates good skin contact and a safe skin tone. A red light indicates poor skin contact or an unsafe skin tone, requiring repositioning.

6. Skin and Hair Suitability

The effectiveness and safety of IPL treatment depend on your skin tone and hair color. The SmoothSkin Pure Adapt is designed to work on a range of skin tones and hair colors, but there are limitations.

Image: A chart illustrating which skin tones and hair colors are safe and effective for IPL treatment. IPL is effective for hair containing enough melanin (darker hair) and safe for lighter to medium skin tones. It is unsafe for very dark skin and ineffective for very light hair (white, grey, red).

Safe & Effective Skin Tones: Skin will absorb a safe amount of energy. (Typically lighter to medium skin tones).

Unsafe Skin Tones: Skin is rich in melanin, so it could absorb more than a safe amount of energy. (Typically very dark skin tones).

Effective Hair Colors: Hair contains enough melanin to target the hair follicle. (Typically dark blonde, brown, black hair).

Ineffective Hair Colors: Hair does not contain enough melanin to target the hair follicle. (Typically white, grey, red, very light blonde hair).

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SmoothSkin Pure Adapt device:

• After each use, wipe the treatment window and the outer surface of the device with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Store the device in its provided pouch in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Keep the device away from direct sunlight and moisture.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SmoothSkin Pure Adapt device, consider the following:

• Device not flashing:
  • Ensure the device is fully plugged into a power outlet.
  • Verify that the treatment window has full contact with your skin. Reposition the device if necessary.
  • Check the skin tone indicator. If it shows a red light, your skin tone may be too dark for safe treatment in that area, or skin contact is insufficient.
• Device feels warm: It is normal for the device to become slightly warm during use. If it becomes excessively hot or uncomfortable, discontinue use and allow it to cool down.
• No visible results after several weeks:
  • Ensure you are following the recommended treatment schedule (once a week for 12 weeks).
  • Confirm your hair color and skin tone are suitable for IPL treatment according to the provided chart.
  • Make sure the device is making full skin contact during each flash.
