x means that the appliance is not suitable for use.
Note: The appliance is not suitable for persons with very dark to black skin
because of the higher risk of skin irritations.
Note: The appliance is not suitable for persons with light blond, red, grey and
white body hair because the low melanin concentration in the hair results in
very poor hair removal efficacy.
Note: At higher light intensities the method is not only more efficacious, but it is
also more perceptible.
