Figure 5: How To Use. This image illustrates the six steps for using the device: 1. Shave off visible hair, 2. Connect to power outlet, 3. Wear protective glasses, 4. Adjust the appropriate gear/mode, 5. Irradiation head in vertical contact with skin, 6. Apply body lotion to moisturize skin.
5. Operation
Preparation:
- Shave: Shave the treatment area thoroughly to remove all visible hair. Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams, as these remove the hair follicle which is necessary for IPL treatment.
- Cleanse: Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of any lotions, oils, or deodorants.
- Protect Eyes: Always wear the provided protective goggles during treatment to shield your eyes from the intense light.
Device Usage:
- Power On: Long press the ON/OFF button (refer to Figure 2) to turn on the device.
- Adjust Energy Level: Short press the ON/OFF button to cycle through the 5 adjustable energy levels. Start with Level 1 to test your skin's tolerance and gradually increase as comfortable.
- Select Mode: Long press the Manual/Automatic button (refer to Figure 2) to switch between modes.
- Manual Mode: Ideal for small, precise areas like the bikini line, underarms, and face. Press the Flash Button for each flash.
- Automatic Mode: Suitable for larger areas such as legs, arms, abdomen, and back. Hold the device against the skin, and it will flash automatically as you glide it over the skin.
- Activate Cooling Function: Press the Cooling Function Mode button twice (refer to Figure 2) to activate the ice-cooling feature, which helps reduce discomfort during treatment.
- Apply Treatment: Place the Light Exit Window firmly against the skin, ensuring full contact. The device will flash when properly positioned. Move the device to the next area, ensuring slight overlap to cover all areas.
- Power Off: Long press the ON/OFF button to turn off the device after use.

Figure 8: Icy Touch Painless Hair Removal. This diagram shows the IPL mechanism, where light energy is absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle, converting to heat to inhibit hair growth, followed by the cooling effect.
Post-Treatment Care:
After treatment, apply a moisturizing lotion to the treated skin areas to soothe and hydrate the skin.
6. Treatment Schedule and Expected Results
Consistency is key for effective hair reduction. Follow the recommended schedule for optimal results.
Recommended Schedule:
- Weeks 1-4: 2-3 times a week. Visible thinning of hair.
- Weeks 5-6: 2 times a week. Hair growth slows.
- Weeks 7-8: Once a week. Hair follicle root shedding.
- Over 8 Weeks: Hair growth stops, or becomes very sparse and fine. Continue maintenance treatments as needed (e.g., once every 2-4 weeks).
