3. Safety Information and Skin Suitability

The Braun Skin i-Expert IPL device is designed for use on suitable skin tones and hair colors. It is crucial to check your compatibility before starting treatment.

Skin Tone and Hair Color Compatibility

The device is effective on light to medium skin tones and natural blonde, brown, or black hair. It is not suitable for very dark skin tones or very light, red, grey, or white hair, as these do not contain enough melanin to absorb the light energy.

4. Setup and Operation

Follow these steps for optimal use of your Braun Skin i-Expert IPL device:

1. Prepare the Skin: Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and shaved. Use the included Gillette Venus razor for shaving if needed.
2. Connect to the App: Download the free Braun Skin i-Expert app. Connect your device to the app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for personalized guidance and treatment tracking.
3. Select Treatment Area and Mode: Within the app, select the body area you wish to treat (e.g., lower legs, underarms, face, bikini line). Choose a treatment mode based on your goals: Fastest Results, Balanced, or Skin Comfort.
4. Skin Compatibility Check: The app will guide you through a skin test to ensure compatibility. The device's Smart SkinProtect sensor automatically reads your skin tone 80 times per second and adjusts the light intensity for safe and effective treatment.
5. Attach the Correct Head: The device comes with a Smart Flex head and additional precision heads. The app will recommend the appropriate head for each body part. Attach the recommended head firmly to the device.
6. Begin Treatment: Place the device head flat against your skin. The device will emit light pulses. Glide the device evenly over the skin, ensuring full contact. The app provides real-time coverage guidance to prevent missed spots.
7. Moisturize: After each session, moisturize the treated skin.

Using the Smart Flex Head and Precision Heads

The Smart Flex head adapts to your body's contours for comprehensive coverage, even in difficult areas. Use the smaller precision heads for sensitive or hard-to-reach areas like the face, bikini line, or underarms.
