Important Safety Information

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• This device is not suitable for all skin tones and hair colors. IPL works primarily on melanin in the hair follicle. It is not effective on red, light blonde, white, and gray hair. It is also not suitable for dark brown, black, and other dark skin tones. Refer to the skin tone chart below before use.
• Always wear the provided protective goggles during operation to protect your eyes from the intense pulsed light.
• Do not use the device on tattooed areas, moles, birthmarks, or areas with skin disorders.
• Keep the device dry. Do not use it in or near water.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Consult a physician before use if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking medications that may increase skin sensitivity.
• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours before full treatment to check for adverse reactions.

Setup

1. Prepare the Skin: Before treatment, ensure the target area is clean, dry, and shaved. Do not wax or pluck hair, as IPL targets the hair follicle.
2. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the device and then into a power outlet.
3. Wear Goggles: Always put on the protective goggles before turning on the device to shield your eyes from the intense light.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off and Energy Level Adjustment

1. Power On: Long press the power button (usually integrated with the energy level knob) for 2-3 seconds until the display lights up.
2. Adjust Energy Level: Rotate the knob to select an energy level from 1 to 9. For first-time users, start with Level 1 and gradually increase based on comfort and skin reaction.
3. Power Off: Long press the power button again for 2-3 seconds to turn off the device.

2. Mode Selection (Manual vs. Auto)

The device offers two modes for different treatment areas:

• Manual Mode: Ideal for precise hair removal in small or sensitive areas like the bikini line, upper lip, or underarms. To activate, short press the flash button. The device will emit a single flash when the light outlet is pressed against the skin.
• Auto Mode: Suitable for larger skin areas such as the back, legs, chest, or arms, providing continuous flashing for faster treatment. To activate, long press the flash button. The device will automatically flash when the light outlet is placed firmly against the skin.

3. Application Steps

1. Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and shaved.
2. Select the appropriate energy level and mode.
3. Place the light outlet window firmly against the skin. The device body will light up blue when properly positioned, indicating it's ready for use.
4. For Manual Mode, press the flash button to emit a flash. For Auto Mode, simply glide the device slowly over the skin, ensuring continuous contact.
5. Move the device to the next area, ensuring slight overlap to cover all desired areas.

4. Treatment Schedule

Consistent use is key for optimal results. A typical treatment schedule is:

• Weeks 1-4: 2-3 times a week. During this phase, hair growth will be inhibited.
• Weeks 5-8: 1-2 times a week. You will notice deep hair removal and finer, slower regrowth.
• After 8 Weeks: 1-2 times a month, or as needed, to maintain smooth skin.
