Problem Possible cause Solution
The hair reduction results
are not satisfactory.
You have used
a light intensity
which is too low
for you.
Select a higher light intensity the next time.
You did not make
enough overlaps
when you used
the appliance.
For proper hair-removal results, you have to make
overlaps when you use the appliance. See chapter
‘Using the appliance’, step 7.
You do not use
the appliance
as often as
recommended.
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 to three months. Your skin should be smooth and
hair-free by then.To ensure that your skin stays smooth
and hair-free, 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.
The appliance is
not suitable for
your hair or skin
colour.
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 very dark skin.
Hair starts to grow again
on some spots of the
treated areas.
You did not make
enough overlaps
when you used
the appliance.
For proper hair-removal results, you have to make
overlaps when you use the appliance. See chapter
‘Using the appliance’, step 7.
Hair starts to grow
again as part of
the natural cycle of
hair growth.
This is normal. It is part of the natural cycle of hair
growth that hair starts growing again. The hairs that
come back, however, tend to be softer and thinner.
