10.4. What to expect with the Homelight epilator
Using the Homelight epilator at home could for many people be a new experience in a depilation method
that uses light. The Homelight epilator is easy to handle and the depilation sessions are quick. You can expect
to see, hear or feel the following during a session:
Fan noise – The cooling fan of the Homelight epilator makes a noise similar to a hair dryer. This is normal.
Beep for each pulse – When activating a pulse from the Homelight epilator, the unit will make a slight sound
whenever the light flashes.
Moderate pressure on the application surface – necessary and useful to position it correctly over the
connecting area; this is an exclusive safety feature of the Homelight epilator.
Heat and prickling sensations – Whenever you release a pulse, it's normal to feel some heat and prickling
resulting from the energy of the light.
Do not forget that it is important to use the lowest power settings during the first sessions. The heat sensation
may persist for up to an hour after your depilation session.
Skin slightly red or pink – Just after use or within 24 hours of using it, it is not rare to see the skin turn
slightly red or pink, especially around the hair.
If obvious redness, blisters or burns appear, stop using the Homelight epilator immediately.
10.5. After a treatment with your Homelight epilator
At the end of your session with your Homelight epilator, turn your appliance off using the On/Stdby
switch. (Make sure you remember the last level of power intensity you used, because it will not be set
to that level when you turn your appliance on the next session).
Unplug the adapter from the mains.
We recommend cleaning your Homelight epilator after each session, particularly the application
surface (see 'Cleaning your Homelight epilator').
After cleaning your appliance, we recommend storing it in its box and away from any source of water.
Care of your skin after you depilation session
Avoid exposing the treated areas to sun. Protect you skin with a sun screen throughout
the treatment and for at least two weeks after the last session with your Homelight
appliance.
