Never use the appliance on the following areas:
-
On the face.
-
On nipples, areolas, labia minora, vagina, anus and the inside of the
nostrils and ears. See chapter 'Using the appliance', section 'Using the
appliance in the bikini area'.
-
Men must not use it on the scrotum or face.
-
Over or near anything artificial like silicone implants, pacemakers,
subcutaneous injection ports (insulin dispenser) or piercings.
-
On moles, freckles, large veins, darker pigmented areas, scars or other
skin anomalies without consulting your doctor. This can result in a burn
and a change in skin colour, which makes it potentially harder to identify
skin-related diseases (e.g. skin cancer).
-
On warts, tattoos or permanent make-up. This can result in a burn and
a change in skin colour (hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation).
-
On areas where you use long-lasting deodorants. This can result in skin
reactions. See chapter 'Using the appliance', section 'Possible side effects
and skin reactions'.
Never use the appliance on sunburnt, recently tanned (last 2 weeks) or
fake-tanned skin
-
All types of tanning can influence the safety of the treatment. This
applies to exposure to natural sunlight as well as artificial tanning
methods, such as tanning lotions, tanning appliances etc. If you are
tanned or are planning to tan, see chapter 'Preparing for use', section
'Tanning advice'.
Note: This list is not exhaustive. If you are not sure whether you can use the
appliance we advise you to consult a doctor.
Preparing for use
For optimal results, prepare the areas on which you intend to use the
appliance in the manner described below.
Preparing treatment areas
1
Shave the areas you intend to treat as long as these areas still show
hair regrowth.
Note: Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.
Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the roots (e.g
epilating), you can start the treatment right away. In this case, we advise you to
shave in between treatments for optimal results.
Please note that treatment on unshaved or improperly shaved
areas has a number of undesired effects:
-
The light exit window and body attachment may become
contaminated with stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit
window and body attachment can reduce the life and efficacy of the
appliance. Contamination of the light exit window can also cause the
treatment to become painful or cause skin reactions like redness and
discolouration.
-
Hairs on your skin can burn, which can result in an unpleasant smell.
2
Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirely dry and free
from oily substances (e.g. residues of deodorants, lotions, perfumes,
tanning creams and sunscreens).
