Problem Possible cause Solution
You treated an
area for which the
appliance is not
intended.
You must not use the appliance on your face, inner
labia, vagina, anus, nipples, areolas, and inside the
nostrils and ears. Men must not use it on their face
or scrotum.
You have used
a light intensity
which is too high
for you.
Reduce the light intensity to a level that is comfortable
for you. See chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting
the light intensity’.
The appliance is
not suitable for
your skin colour.
Do not use the appliance if you have a very dark skin.
Do not use it either if your body hair is light blond, red,
grey or white.
The treated areas
become red after the
treatment.
Slight redness
is harmless and
normal and
disappears quickly.
No action required.
The skin reaction after
the treatment lasts longer
than usual.
You have used
a light intensity
which is too high
for you.
Select a lower light intensity the next time. See chapter
‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity.
If the skin reaction lasts longer than 3 days, contact
your doctor.
The hair-removal 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’, section ‘Subsequent use’, step 9.
You do not use
the appliance
as often as
recommended.
To remove all hairs successfully and to prevent the hair
root from becoming active again, the treatments have
to be repeated once every two weeks for the first
two months. To ensure that your skin stays smooth,
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.
