- Eye Protection: Always wear the provided safety glasses during treatment to protect your eyes from the intense light. Do not look directly into the light flash.

- Medical Conditions: Consult a doctor before use if you have any medical conditions, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking photosensitizing medications.
- Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 4 weeks before and during treatment. Always use sunscreen (SPF 30+) on treated areas exposed to the sun.
