Solution
If the light exit window of the body attachment is broken, do
not use the appliance with this body attachment any more.
Go to your dealer or a Philips service centre or contact
the Consumer Care Centre to have the body attachment
replaced.
Do not use the appliance if your body hair is light blond, red,
grey or white. Do not use the appliance either if you have
dark skin. Consult the body hair and skin colour table in the
Quick Start Guide.
No action required.
Select a lower light intensity the next time. See chapter
'Preparing for use', section 'Light intensity. If the skin reaction
lasts longer than 3 days, contact your doctor.
Perform a skin test to determine if you can use a higher light
intensity (see chapter 'Using the appliance', section 'First use
and skin test'.
For proper hair-removal results, you have to make overlaps
when you use the appliance. See chapter 'Using the appliance',
section 'Subsequent use', step 4.
To remove all hairs successfully and to prevent the hair
root from becoming active again, the treatments have to be
repeated once every two weeks for the irst two months. 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.
Continue using the appliance for at least 6 months, as hair
regrowth can still decrease over the course of this period.
Also take into account the other solutions to this problem.
Do not use the appliance if your body hair is light blond, red,
grey or white. Do not use the appliance either if you have
dark skin. Consult the body hair and skin colour table in the
Quick Start Guide.
