Do not try to use SensEpil™ by beurer on naturally dark skin complexion! It will not operate!
SensEpil™ by beurer is a light-based hair removal device, which removes unwanted hair by selectively addressing hair pigment.
Varied quantities of pigment also exist in the surrounding tissue of skin. The quantity of pigment in a particular person's skin,
which is manifested by their skin complexion, determines the degree of risk they are exposed to using SensEpil™ by beurer.
Treating dark skin with light based hair removal systems can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes
(hyper- or hypo-pigmentation). A unique SKIN COLOR SENSOR is embedded in SensEpil™ by beurer to measure the treated skin
complexion at the beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. When detecting use on darker skin tones, the
SKIN COLOR SENSOR disables SensEpil™ by beurer from further emitting of pulses.
9. When will I see results from SensEpil™ by beurer?
As with any light-based or laser hair removal device, results are not immediate, and in fact you may not think anything happened
at all. Hair may sometimes appear to be growing back after a hair removal session, but typically after two weeks many of these
hairs will simply fall out. Additionally hairs grow in three different stages and only hairs in an active growth stage will be affected
by SensEpil™ by beurer. This is one of the main reasons that multiple sessions are required to achieve the desired result.
