9. Frequently asked questions
Does the device technology really work?
Yes. In clinical tests performed by doctors, it was proven that the technology in the device
can be used to safely achieve lasting hair removal results.
How long does a treatment session last using the device?
The time can vary depending on the area of the body being treated. A full body treatment
(legs, arms, armpits, bikini zone and face below the cheekbones) takes approximately
20 minutes at the lowest intensity level. As the device is operated using electricity, it can
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-
