be used for as long as is necessary to perform a full hair removal session on the desired
area(s) of the body.
Is the device safe?
The device was developed with a strong focus on your safety and employs clinically tested
technology. However, this device – like any other product or electronic device intended for
application on the skin – must be used in accordance with the instructions for use and the
safety notes for users.
Is the device painful to use?
When used correctly, most users of the device report a slight warm feeling when the light
pulse is issued. Users with thicker and darker hair may experience slightly more discomfort,
however this subsides once the hair removal session is complete. The device has three
power settings, which you can select depending on the sensitivity of your skin.
How often should I use the device?
In the case of body hair treatment with the device, the first four sessions should be performed
two weeks apart. The fifth to seventh sessions inclusive can be performed four weeks apart.
Any further sessions should be performed if the hair has grown back until the desired results
have been achieved. In the case of treatment of hair on the face below the cheekbones, the
first six sessions should be performed two weeks apart. The seventh to twelfth sessions
can be performed four weeks apart. Any further sessions should be performed if the hair
has grown back until the desired results have been achieved.
Is the device also effective on white, grey or blond hair?
The device is most effective on dark hair types or on hair with a high melanin content. Melanin
is the pigment that gives hair and skin its colour and absorbs light energy. Black and dark
brown hair shows the best response. Brown and light brown hair also responds to treat-
ment, but it usually requires more hair removal sessions. A limited effect can be seen on
red hair. White, grey or blond hair does not usually respond to the device, although several
users have noticed results after multiple hair removal sessions.
Can I use the device on brown or black skin?
The device is not effective on naturally dark skin. The device is a light-based device that
removes undesired hair by means of the selective treatment of the hair pigment. A differ-
ent amount of pigment is present in the surrounding skin tissue. The amount of pigment
in the skin of any given person – which can be seen by the colour of the skin – determines
the degree of risk that the person is exposed to when using the device. Treating dark skin
with a light-based hair removal procedure can have adverse consequences, such as burns,
blisters or discolouration of the skin (hyper- or hypopigmentation). The device contains an
integrated skin colour sensor, which measures the colour of the skin to be treated prior to
each flash. The skin colour sensor prevents the device from issuing further pulses if it de-
tects that the device is being used on darker skin tones.
