- If sensitive to bright lights, use the safety goggles to protect your eyes.
- Plug in the device using the power adapter (no battery to charge).
- Clean the glass window using a medical alcohol wipe.
Operation
- Powering On: Press the "power button" (do not hold) to turn on the device. The green indicator light will stop flashing, and the system will be audible.
- Activating the Flash Window: Position the flash window on your skin. The red indicator light will start flashing, indicating the built-in human body induction sensor is detecting your skin.
- Ensuring Proper Operation: The red indicator light must be flashing for the device to function. If it is not flashing, move the flash window closer to your skin.
- Selecting Intensity Level: Click the "power button" to cycle through five intensity levels, indicated by blue lights. Level 1 is the lowest, and Level 5 is the highest.
- Performing a Flash: After setting the intensity level, place the flash window fully on your skin. The red indicator light will flash. Press the flash button for a single flash. The red light will turn off for 1-3 seconds to recharge before indicating readiness for the next use.
Standby Mode
The device enters standby mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Click the power button to wake it up. Upon restarting, the intensity reverts to Level 1.
Shutdown
Hold the power button for 3 seconds to shut down the device.
Cleaning
After use, clean the flash window with a recommended medical alcohol wipe.
Note: After frequent usage, a white dew spot may appear inside the lens, which does not affect normal operation or the device's lifespan.
Troubleshooting Red Indicator Light Issues
If the red indicator light remains steady without flickering:
- Ensure the "flash window" is properly positioned and in close contact with your skin.
- If the red indicator light still doesn't flicker, hold the flash window against your skin for 3-5 seconds and check for normal function.
- Restart the device if the issue persists.
- If problems continue, contact customer service.
Note: For optimal results, repeat the hair removal process 2-3 times, ensuring all body parts are treated without omission or repetition.
6. Hair Management Process
6.1 Skin Test Before Use
Pre-Procedure Skin Test: A skin test is highly recommended 2 hours before any hair removal procedure to check for adverse reactions.
Testing Method:
- Choose a small area of skin on the inside of your upper arm (medial side).
- Apply 1-2 flashes at the same location, starting from low to high energy levels.
- After 2 hours, if you notice redness, burns, stabbing pain, or other symptoms, consult a doctor before using again.
6.2 Operating Steps
Preparation: Clean the flash window, shave body hair, and remove any residue from skin.
Device Setup: Start the device and select the appropriate intensity level.
After Care: After hair removal, cool your skin using ice water or a cold, damp towel.
Moisturizing: Apply toner to retain moisture after the procedure.
Intensity Guidance: Refer to the comparison table below for recommendations on intensity levels suitable for different skin types and body areas.
Usage Guidelines: Avoid using the device repeatedly on the same area. Flash no more than twice in a row on a single spot. Reduce usage frequency when using high-energy intensity levels.
Hair Removal Cycle and Frequency
- Hair Removal Cycle: Use the device 6-10 times per cycle.
- Initial Frequency: Use once every two weeks for up to six treatments.
- Extended Frequency: After six treatments, use once every four weeks for the remaining 6-10 sessions.
- Maintenance: If thin hair regrows after the cycle, treat the area every 2-3 months for continued results.
- Thick Hair: For thick hair, multiple treatments over time are recommended for optimal results.
- Individual Variation: Frequency may vary depending on individual hair growth. Reduce usage if only about 30% of the area has regrown hair.
