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: 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.

  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.
