Flash delivery methods
Slide & Flash
- Keep the flash button pressed. The appliance releases
one flash after another as long as the skin contact
surface is in full contact with the skin. After each flash,
slide the appliance to the next area. Continue to press
the skin contact surface onto the skin. This Slide & Flash
mode is especially convenient for treating larger areas
like the legs.
Step & Flash
- Let go of the flash button after each flash. For the next
flash, place the appliance on the area right next to the
area just treated. Make sure that the skin contact surface
is fully pressed onto the skin. This Step & Flash mode
guarantees a precise treatment of e.g. the knees or
ankles .
Note: Do not treat the same area twice during a treatment.
If you treat an area more than once, this increases the risk of
adverse effects.
Note: To avoid untreated areas, always make sure that there
is some overlap with the previously treated area when you
slide the appliance over the skin.The effective light only comes
out of the light exit window. Make sure that the flashes are
emitted close to each other.
How to achieve optimal results
First two months
- 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
months. Your skin should be smooth by then. Please
read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to find out how you
can keep these results.
