2.2 Skin Sensitivity Test
Before your first full treatment, perform a skin sensitivity test on a small area of skin you intend to treat. Select a low intensity level and apply a flash.

5.3 Applying Treatment
- Place the device's flash window firmly against the skin in the desired treatment area. The skin contact sensor will ensure proper placement.
- For Manual Mode (single flash): Press the flash button to emit a single pulse of light. Lift the device and move to the next adjacent area.
- For Automatic Mode (continuous flash): Hold down the flash button, or select the auto mode setting. The device will automatically emit flashes as you glide it across the skin, maintaining full contact. This mode is ideal for larger areas like legs.
- Treat each area once per session. Avoid overlapping flashes on the same spot during a single session.
- After completing the treatment, press and hold the power button to turn off the device. Unplug it from the power outlet.

5.4 Treatment Schedule
For optimal results, follow a consistent treatment schedule. Hair growth cycles vary, so regular use is key for progressive hair reduction.
- Initial Phase (Weeks 1-4): Use 2-3 times per week.
- Reduction Phase (Weeks 5-8): Use once per week.
- Maintenance Phase (After Week 8): Use once every 2-4 weeks or as needed to maintain results.
Individual results may vary. Visible hair reduction can be observed in as little as 2 weeks with consistent use, with significant reduction (e.g., 96.52% for bikini area) over time.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your device.
- Cleaning: After each use, ensure the device is turned off and unplugged. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the flash window and the device body. Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on. | Not properly plugged in; power outlet issue. | Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working wall outlet. Try a different outlet. |
| Device does not flash. | Skin contact sensor not fully engaged; incorrect mode/intensity; device malfunction. | Ensure the flash window is in full contact with the skin. Check selected mode and intensity. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Skin irritation after use. | Intensity level too high; unsuitable skin tone; sensitive skin. | Reduce the intensity level. Ensure your skin tone is compatible with the device. Discontinue use if irritation persists. Consult a dermatologist if necessary. |
| No visible hair reduction. | Inconsistent use; insufficient intensity; hair color not suitable for IPL. | Follow the recommended treatment schedule consistently. Increase intensity if comfortable. IPL is most effective on dark hair and less effective on very light, red, or grey hair. |
