The table with recommended light intensities
below helps you to establish the right light
intensity.
1 Consult the table below to determine which
light intensities are most suitable for your
skin and body hair colour and to check if this
method is suitable for you (if it is not, this is
indicated with x in the table).
2 Each body area and possibly even parts of a
body area may require a separate appropriate
light intensity according to the recommended
light intensities table below. The method
is more effective at higherintensities, but
you should reduce the light intensity if you
experience any pain or discomfort.
Persons with darker skin run a higher risk
of skin irritation because their skin absorbs
more light. Therefore lower intensities are
recommended for persons with darker skin.
The light intensity you use can feel warm
or hot on the skin, but should never feel
uncomfortable. To prevent skin reactions,
see chapter 'Using the appliance', section
'Possible side effects and skin reactions'.
