Q&A

Question Answer

What type of light is emitted from the ﬂash window?

Why can the appliance be used only by those over the age of 18?

Can the appliance be used in areas other than underarms, arms, legs or bikini-line?

Is it alright to use the appliance everyday?

Why is there a burning smell after a ﬂash?

The light feels very bright while using the appliance but is this a problem?

Instantaneous ﬂash from a xenon lamp.

This is because of unstable hormone balance when growing up and the skin can become sensitive easily.

Only use the appliance on underarms, arms, legs or bikiniline. (Do not use the appliance on the face or other areas.)

Using the appliance on the same area everyday is not recommended. Please follow the guide for treatment frequency and time. (See page 13.)

This is because the ﬂash applies heat to unwanted hair, and is not a sign of a malfunction. Remove any hair if it has grown too long. Also remove all trimmings remaining on the skin.

Apply the ﬂash switch closely against the skin. (See page 15.) If the light is still a concern, wear sunglasses or other eye protection.

Question Answer
