Apply the hair removal device 6 to 12 hours after shaving. Please do not apply the scraper blade directly to the skin. Use with lather or shave in the shower. The blade is sharp. Use it carefully to avoid scratches.
-
Step 2: Power Connection
Connect the power cord to the adapter. After connecting the power cord to the product's power input connector, insert the plug into a power outlet. After finishing hair removal, make sure to turn off the power before unplugging the power cord to prevent damage to the power supply.

Step 3: Eye Protection
Wear protective glasses before hair removal to protect your eyes. Do not look directly at the flashing light while operating the hair removal device.
-
Step 4: Device Activation and Level Selection
Press the On/Off Button on the side of the hair removal device for a short time to turn it on, and then choose the appropriate treatment level. Level 1 is recommended when using the hair removal device for the first time. You can switch gradually to other levels as you find them tolerable. The higher the level, the more energy is applied, and the faster the effect.

Model Introduction and Modes
The Ulike IPL Hair Removal Device offers different energy levels and modes for various needs.
Energy Levels:
- Energy of Level 1 to Level 2: Suitable for sensitive areas such as lips and private parts/people with darker skin tone/people with sensitive skin, etc.
- Energy of Level 3 to Level 4: Suitable for main body parts of people with medium or lower hair roughness and thickness, such as arms, legs, etc.
- Energy of Level 5: Suitable for main body parts of people with thick hair, such as arms, legs, etc.
Note: Due to higher energy of Level 5, the sensation of heat may be more obvious than that of Level 1, which is not a machine fault.
Flash Modes:

- Press the Flashing Window against the skin, after which the Hair Removal Sensor Light will turn on, indicating full access.
- Long press the Flashing Button, after which the Sequence Flashing Indicator Light will turn on, indicating that it has entered Continuous Flash mode.
- After the flashing completes, move the Flashing Window to the next area and use Continuous Flash model to continue hair removal.
* Flash twice over the area requiring removal to ensure it is covered.

Important Notes
- If you feel pain or discomfort during use, please lower the energy gear (if you feel warm or slight burning without pain, it is normal).
- People with darker skin are prone to skin allergies, so it is recommended to use it with a lower energy gear.
- For people with thick hair, it is recommended to use a higher energy gear (Gear 4 or 5); For people with little hair, it is recommended to use the lower gear (Gear 1, 2 or 3). The specific situation varies from person to person, but for the first time, please use it from Gear 1.
Tips on How to Use The Hair Removal Device
Q1: Why should I shave off the hair first?
A: Because the hair removal device acts on the melanin in the hair follicle, not on the hair on the surface of the skin. Shaving the hair on the surface of the skin first is to help remove the obstacle on the surface, so that the pulsed light energy can be applied to the hair follicle to the maximum extent, rather than being absorbed by the hair on the surface.
Q2: How should I use Sapphire (the Flashing Window) to achieve the best results during hair removal?
A: Because the continuous flashes of the hair removal device will accumulate energy over time, it is recommended to apply ice on the lighted skin area for about 30s after hair removal in one area to maximize the effectiveness of the ice compress, and then perform the hair removal operation in the next area. This cools the skin with ice while allowing for a better cooling effect.
Q3: Why should the Flashing Window be completely fitted to the skin during hair removal?
A: When using the hair removal device, the lamp head should be pressed against the skin to create full contact with the hair follicle, which ensures that the hair follicle absorbs higher energy and achieves better hair removal. At the same time, when Sapphire (the Flashing Window) contacts the skin, it can pre-cool your epidermis, which reduces its heat and better protects your skin.
Q4: Can I apply skincare products before hair removal?
A: When using the hair removal device, please make sure to keep your hair removal area dry. If you want to use a moisturizing product, the device can be used normally after the moisturizer is absorbed.
Q5: How often should I use the product?
A: Use three times every week for the first 2 weeks. Use twice every week for the third to fifth weeks. Use once every half a month or month from the fifth week onward. Use according to the growth cycle of your hair. The level as well as the frequency of use can be appropriately increased for thick hair.
Q6: Why does the Flashing Window sometimes not work?
A: For your safety, the Flashing Window will not work when it is not against the skin. Make sure to apply the Flashing Window perpendicularly against the skin. It will work normally when the sensor light is white.
Q7: Which level should I choose?
A: Level 1 is recommended when using this hair removal device for the first time. You can gradually switch to higher levels as your tolerance increases. The higher the level, the better the effect.
