Note: Fully charged batteries offer at least 370 flashes at intensity 5. How
long you can use the appliance depends on the size of the area to be
treated and the intensity setting used.

Intended treatment areas

The appliance is intended to treat unwanted hairs on the underarms,
shoulders, back, chest, arms, pubic area (excluding the scrotum) and legs.
Using the appliance on the shoulders, chest, back and legs
If you use the appliance to treat your shoulders, chest, back and legs you
may have to recharge the appliance during the treatment. This is normal.
How long you can use the appliance depends on the size of the treatment
area and the intensity setting used.
Tip: If you want to treat your back and your shoulders, you require the help
of your partner or a friend to guarantee complete coverage and best results.
Tip: The back and chest are often tanned. Take special care to select the
appropriate intensity for treating the tanned skin to prevent skin reactions.

How to achieve optimal results

- It is normal that hairs are still visible after the first few treatments (see
chapter 'Introduction', section 'Working principle' for more information).
- To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair follicle from
becoming active again, the treatments have to be repeated once every
two weeks for the first two to three months. Your skin should be smooth
by then. Please read section 'Maintenance phase' to find out how you
can keep these results.

Maintenance phase

- To ensure that your skin stays smooth, we advise you to repeat the
treatment every four to six weeks. The time between treatments may vary
based on your individual hair regrowth and also across different body
areas. If too many hairs grow back between treatments, simply shorten
the treatment interval again, but do not treat any area more often than
once every two weeks. When you use the appliance more frequently than
recommended, you do not increase the effectiveness but you do
increase the risk of skin reactions.

Possible side effects and skin reactions

Common skin reactions:
- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickles, tingle or feel
warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.
- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the treated area for a
short while. If this does not disappear within 3 days, we advise you to
consult a doctor.
- Dry skin and itching may occur because of the combination of shaving
and light treatment. This is harmless and disappears within a few days.
You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet cloth. If dryness persists,
you can apply a non-scented moisturiser on the treated area 24 hours
after the treatment.
