skin in the area that is to be treated at the beginning of each session and
occasionally during the session.
If the skin colour sensor (6B) detects a complexion that is too dark for the
treatment, the appliance stops emitting the light pulses automatically and the
skin colour check LEDs (7A) start to flash.
If this occurs, try to use the appliance on another part of the body or contact
the IMETEC service centre.
THE TWO AppLICATION METHODS
The device can be applied in two ways: "by Pulse" and "Sliding".
By pulse Method
The by pulse method is optimal when using higher power levels as it allows for
better control of the skin areas being covered. Each time the pulse activation
button is pressed (3), a light pulse is emitted.
A precise technique must be followed when using the by pulse method to
make sure the entire treatment area is covered and dangerous overlapped
pulses are prevented:
•
Imagine the treatment area is divided in rows.
•
Emit a light pulse proceeding in order, starting from one end of each row
and continuing to the other end (from the bottom upwards or right to left,
depending on the treatment area).
The area covered by the treatment surface (6A-16A) leaves temporary marks
on the skin due to the light pressure applied by the handpiece.
These marks remain visible for a few moments and are useful to establish the
subsequent pulse position.

Sliding Method
The Sliding method is optimal when using low power levels and it allows for
faster and more efficient sessions. When using the Sliding method, keep
the pulse activation button (3) pressed and slide the device in a slow gliding
motion while remaining in contact with the skin, along the area to be treated.
At lower power levels (1 and 2), the device takes only 1 to 1.5 seconds to
recharge between one pulse and another, thereby allowing an uninterrupted
sequence of flashes.
ATTENTION
Do not overlap the pulses!
Do not treat the same section of skin more than once per hair removal session!
STOP USING THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY if excessive heat or tingling
is felt or blisters or small burns appear on the skin!
HOW TO pERFORM THE pATCH TEST
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.
•
First check the tone of your skin by comparing it to the table on the package
and in the instruction manual.
•
Identify a small area that is to be treated.
•
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
