• shave the area that is to be treated.

• after having set the lowest power level, apply the handpiece to the area

and emit the first pulse. if no discomfort is felt, increase the power to the

next level, move the handpiece to the adjacent skin area and emit another

pulse. increase the power level on each subsequent area of skin until the

maximum tolerable level for the skin type. a feeling of heat can be felt on

the skin during the treatment, and this is normal. if discomfort is felt, the

maximum tolerable power level is the previous one.

• check the area after 24 hours: if the redness persists, the maximum

tolerable power level for your skin type is the previous one.

Even though it is extremely rare, if hypersensitivity should persist for over

hours, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

since the skin tone and sensitivity varies from one body part to another, a

patch test should be performed on each part of the body that is to be treated.
attENtION: the power output directly affects the result, however, due to the

principle of heat of the treatment, the maximum limit tolerated by your skin

must not be exceeded. this limit is normally high for fair skin and low for dark

skin because melanin that darkens the skin increases the production of heat.

Do not exceed the maximum limit that your skin tolerates with no discomfort

whatsoever.
