EPILATION
IPL epilator hair removal technology is well-known and sophisticated. It has
undergone more than 15 years of clinical trials around the world,
demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of long-term hair removal.
The IPL hair removal technology is based on the selective phot thermolysis
theory, which uses the energy of optical radiation to stop hair growth. To
achieve this thermal effect, the hair root needs to selectively absorb heat
energy and convert it into heat. This selectivity is achieved as most of the
optical radiation is absorbed by the hair bulb pigment, while the surrounding
skin and tissue remain cool. This heat effect painlessly removes hair with
roots and prevents their regrowth. This scientifically verified technology
ensures fast and lasting results.
The amount of pigment in a person’s skin determines not only the colour but
also the degree of risk to which the user is exposed when using a light-based
hair removal technology, regardless of which one. The darker the skin, the
higher the risk.
INFLUENCE OF HAIR GROWTH CYCLE ON PHOTOEPILATION
Melanin is a pigment found in body that allows light to be absorbed and
subsequently converted into heat to stop hair growth. The more melanin in the
hair, the darker its colour and the more light it can absorb, increasing the
efficiency of phot epilation.
The hair growth cycle has three stages – Anagen phase, Catagen phase and
Telogen phase.
These three stages play an important part in the phot epilation process. The
Anagen phase is the period of hair growth, while the Catagen and Telogen
phases are resting periods. The hair growth cycle lasts approximately 18-24
months.
Most hair follicles are in one of the two resting phases. The IPL technology
is efficient only when the hair is in the growth phase. All hairs are never in
the growth phase at the same time. It is therefore necessary to understand the
growth cycle of follicles in order to permanently remove hair.
Three phases – the Anagen phase, the Catagen phase and the Telogen phase
The IPL epilator offers safe and long-lasting hair removal in the privacy and
comfort of your home.
It removes unwanted hair from the skin, especially from the skin of the legs
and hands, as well as from sensitive areas such as the armpits, bikini line
and face (cheeks, upper lip, chin).
The appliance can be used by both men and women over 18 years of age.
If you are not sure if you can use the epilator, please consult your
dermatologist or general practitioner.
PREPARING THE SKIN
- Before using the appliance, the skin must be shaved, clean, dry and free of any residues of deodorants or any other cosmetic products.
- Do not remove hair with an electric epilator or wax before using the IPL epilator. The epilation (removal of hairs with roots) causes the IPL epilator hair removal to be ineffective.
- Do not expose your skin to sunlight 1 week before and 1 week after using the epilator. Clothing that adequately covers the skin or a sunscreen (with a minimum protection factor of 50) protects you against the sunlight.
- If you applied self-tanning lotion to your skin, do not use the epilator until the tanning effect of the lotion has completely disappeared.
- Always cover tattoos, birthmarks or dark marks, such as freckles, nevi, warts or tumors, before using the device.
- Never use the appliance on nipples or genitals (male or female).
- Never use the appliance on any parts of your body where you might later want hair.
- Never use the appliance for any purpose other than hair removal.
- Always make sure that you aim the appliance at the treated area of the skin and that it is touching it fully before releasing the pulse.
SETTING OF THE IPL EPILATOR
-
Remove the appliance and all its accessories from the box.
-
Plug the power adapter into the power adapter slot on the IPL epilator and plug the adapter into a power outlet.
-
To switch on the device, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds. You will hear a faint fan noise.
-
The appliance is ready for use.
-
Select the intensity according to your skin type. Use the On/Off button to select the desired intensity. For example, to go from level 1 to level 4, press the On/Off button repeatedly until you reach the desired intensity. The appliance gradually increases the intensity level from 4 to 5, then back from level 5 to levels 4, 3, 2 and 1.
-
Press the application surface of the appliance against your skin. Once the appliance is in direct contact with the skin, the Ready indicator lights up.
-
The appliance is equipped with a mechanism that protects the eyes during use. The contact sensor prevents the pulse from being released, until the application surface of the appliance is in full contact with the skin. Therefore, always make sure that the
application surface is correctly applied to the skin. -
Pulse release button – by pressing this button the appliance emits a pulse of light and you may feel a slight sensation of heat or tingling.
-
Remove the epilator from the treated area of the skin.
-
Move the application surface to the next area of the skin you wish to treat. The pressure marks left on the skin after using the epilator will help you to choose the right place to apply the light pulse again, so as to avoid releasing two pulses at the same area or leaving too much space between the treated areas. The appliance recharges immediately after each pulse release. When the Ready indicator lights up (after skin contact), the appliance is ready to release the next pulse.
-
After you finish the treatment, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds to switch off the device.
-
To treat smaller areas of skin, attach the appropriate attachment with a smaller application surface.
Warning: Do not treat the same area of the skin more than once during one treatment session. Re-treatment of the same area of the skin increases the risk of side effects.
MODES
PRECISION mode
The PRECISION mode allows safe treatment of the most inaccessible and
sensitive areas, such as your face, armpits, bikini line, etc. The appliance
emits one-time pulses upon pressing the Pulse release button.
GLISS mode (automatic)
Once the application surface of the appliance is properly applied to the skin,
press and hold the Pulse release button for 2 seconds to activate the GLISS
mode. The indicator lights up (flash icon). The pulses are thus automatically
released continuously without the need for further manipulation. You can
therefore simply move the device on the skin without interruption in a slow
and continuous motion, without lifting it up and applying it to the skin
again.
After you finish the treatment, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds
to switch off the device.
The Gliss mode is suitable for users who already have some experience using
the device. The Gliss mode allows you to treat larger areas of skin, such as
legs, back, arms, torso, etc., more safely and quickly. Use the Precision mode
to treat sensitive areas and facial skin.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The IPL epilator automatically switches off after 5 minutes of inactivity. If you want to restart the appliance, press the On/Off button and set the required power.
COVERING OF THE TREATED SKIN
When releasing the pulses, proceed systematically in successive rows. This
method ensures better control of the pulses and helps you to cover the area
better while preventing treating the same area twice or releasing the pulses
too close to each other.
The pressure marks left on the skin after using the epilator will help you to
choose the right place to apply the light pulse again, so as to avoid
releasing two pulses at the same area or leaving too much space between the
treated areas. Avoid releasing more than one pulse on the same area of the
skin during one treatment session.
If burns or blisters appear on the skin, stop the treatment immediately.
FACE EPILATION
- When releasing the pulse, do not look directly at the treated area of skin.
- Do not use the appliance to remove eyelashes, eyebrows or head hair.
- The appliance is not suitable for full removal of male beard.
- For your comfort and safety, we recommend asking someone to help you with the first few treatment sessions.
- Use the PRECISION mode to remove facial hair. DO NOT USE THE GLISS MODE TO TREAT FACE OR SENSITIVE AREAS.
- When treating your face, it is necessary to wait 5 seconds between each pulse. The duration of the facial skin treatment session should not exceed 10 minutes.
DURATION OF ONE TREATMENT SESSION
Area | Average duration | Mode |
---|---|---|
Half of a leg | 8 to 10 minutes | Gliss |
Whole leg | 15 minutes | Gliss |
Bikini line | 2 minutes | Precision |
Armpits | 1 minute | Precision |
SELECTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL
The intensity level designates the power of the pulsed light applied to your
skin during treatment. The power ranges from the lowest (1) to the highest (5)
level.
The light indicator indicates the selected intensity level. If you increase
the power, the results will be better, but the risk of side effects increases
(see chapter Possible side effects).
Warning: If you do not experience any abnormal reactions or discomfort within
48 hours of the test treatment, you can select the power level of the epilator
for the first treatment according to the table below:
- Skin prototype I and II – For the first treatment, set the appliance to a maximum of the 3 rd intensity level. If you do not experience any problems, you can gradually increase the intensity to level 4 and then to level 5 over the next few treatments.
- Skin prototype III and IV – For the first treatment, set the appliance to a maximum of the 2 nd intensity level. If you do not experience any problems, you can gradually increase the intensity to level 3 and then to level 4 over the next few treatments.
- Skin prototype V – For the first treatment, set the appliance to a maximum of the 1 st intensity level. If you do not experience any problems, you can gradually increase the intensity to level 2 and then to level 3 over the next few treatments.
- The IPL epilator is not suitable for people with skin prototype VI.
Warning: Before using the appliance, read the entire instruction manual and
select a safe power level (see the prototype table below) for each treatment.
To ensure safe use of the appliance, the above-mentioned intensity selection
guide must be used together with the table below.
Phototypes (according to Fitzpatrick)
I Very pale, milky skin – never tans and always burns
II Fair skin – tans minimally and usually burns
III Beige skin – develops a light tan, occasionally burns
IV Light brown skin – tans easily and burns minimally
V Dark brown skin – tans very easily and rarely burns
VI Black skin
PHOTOTYPES | I | II | III | IV | V | VI |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
TEST TREATMENT (carried out 48 hours before the first treatment) | Level 1 | |||||
Level 1 | Level 1 | Level 1 | Level 1 | X | ||
First treatment | Level 3 | Level 3 | Level 2 | Level 2 | Level 1 | X |
Following treatment | Levels 4, 5 | Levels 4, 5 | Levels 3, 4 | Levels 3, 4 | ||
Levels 2, 3 | X |
X – The appliance is not suitable for people with skin prototype VI.
It is possible that the required intensity level will vary depending on the
difference in skin colour of one area of the skin to be treated. For example,
the skin on the hands, which is usually exposed to the sun more often, is
darker than the inside of the arm. Be careful when increasing the intensity on
paler parts of the body. Although you will achieve better results, the risk of
side effects increases.
TREATMENT SESSIONS
The length of the hair growth cycle takes on average from 18 to 24 months
during which many epilator treatments will be necessary to achieve long-
lasting results. The efficiency of the appliance will vary among individual
users depending on the treated area, hair colour and the method of
application.
The following is an example of the planned treatment sessions during one hair
growth cycle:
- The first 4 epilator treatment sessions should be 2 weeks apart.
- The following treatment sessions should be 4 weeks apart until you achieve the desired result.
First and second month
1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7
8| 9| 10| 11| 12| 13| 14
15| 16| 17| 18| 19| 20| 21
22| 23| 24| 25| 26| 27| 28
29| 30| | | | |
From the third month onwards
1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7
8| 9| 10| 11| 12| 13| 14
15| 16| 17| 18| 19| 20| 21
22| 23| 24| 25| 26| 27| 28
29| 30| | | | |
When the hair grows back, use the epilator again until you achieve the desired
result.
Warning: Do not treat the same area of skin more often than once every 2
weeks. More frequent treatment sessions do not ensure better results, on the
contrary, they increase the risk of side effects.
Due to hormonal or physiological changes, dormant follicles may be
reactivated. Additional treatment sessions may thus sometimes be necessary.
EXPECTED RESULT
The result is visible after the first 4 treatment sessions and a significant
decrease in the number of hairs is achieved after 9-10 treatment sessions. The
result varies according to the hair type and biological factors influencing
the hair growth cycle. Long-term results cannot be expected after just one or
two treatments sessions. The length of the resting phase of the hair growth
varies from one part of the body to the next.
War n ing: Epilator hair removal is not effective when the hair is white
or blonde.
ACNE TREATMENT
The acne treatment attachment has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect.
Use on pimples and mild acne. Never use on open wounds. Stop using the device
immediately in case of adverse effects.
USE
- Attach the acne treatment attachment.
- Always use intensity level 1.
- Release three pulses a day on acne until you achieve the desired result.
- Never release more than two pulses to the same spot. If you are unsure whether you skin is suitable for this treatment, consult your doctor or dermatologist.
- For your comfort and safety, we recommend having someone on hand to help you.
- When releasing the pulse, we recommend looking in a different direction from the IPL, or in close your eyes.
SKIN REJUVENATION
The skin rejuvenation attachment improves skin texture and evens skin tone.
Heat treatment removes hormonal pigmentation and little veins. The skin is
more dewy and vital.
USE
-
Attach the skin rejuvenation attachment.
-
Always use intensity level 1.
-
Treat the skin every 3 days (1-3 pulses per spot) until you achieve the desired result.
-
Never release more than two pulses to the same spot.
Do not use on pigmentation that is not of hormonal origin and on open wounds. Stop using the device immediately in case of adverse effects. If you are unsure whether you skin is suitable for this treatment, consult your doctor or dermatologist. -
For your comfort and safety, we recommend having someone on hand to help you.
-
When releasing the pulse, we recommend looking in a different direction from the IPL, or in close your eyes.
SKIN SOOTHING
The skin soothing attachment cools and soothes the skin after IPL epilator
treatment.
USE
- Attach the skin soothing attachment to the IPL epilator.
- Turn on the IPL epilator, the flake icon will appear on the display.
- Place the attachment on the treated skin to soothe it.
AFTER HAIR REMOVAL
- When the treatment is complete, switch off the device by pressing the On/Off button
- Unplug the power cord.
- We recommend cleaning the appliance after each use, especially the application surface.
- After cleaning, we recommend storing the appliance in its original box and out of reach of water.
- Do not expose the treated area to the sun. Protect your skin against sunlight during the entire treatment process and at least 1 week after the last use of the epilator. Exposure to sunlight means staying in direct sunlight without protection for about 15 minutes or staying in indirect sunlight without protection for 1 hour.
- Do not apply deodorant or perfumed creams to the skin after epilation.
SAFETY
The intense pulsed light technology (IPL) provides maximum safety and minimum
risk at the same time.
The epilator uses intense pulsed light technology, which ensures long-lasting
results with less intensity compared to other light-based hair removal
methods. Low power consumption reduces the risk of injury or complications and
contributes to your overall safety.
Eye protection mechanism
The IPL epilator is equipped with a built-in mechanism (contact sensor) that
protects your eyes. The design of the epilator does not allow releasing the
pulse if you aim the appliance at open space. The safety mechanism allows the
pulse to be released only when the appliance is in direct contact with the
skin.
Follow the instructions in the manual carefully to select the intensity for
each treatment session.
Selecting the wrong intensity may cause side effects.
For more detailed information on selecting the intensity level, see chapter
Use, section Selecting the intensity level.
Do not treat the same area of the skin more than once during one treatment
session. If burns or blisters appear on the skin, stop the treatment
immediately.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
If the appliance is used in accordance with the instructions given, side
effects and complications are rare. However, all cosmetic treatments,
including those intended for domestic use, carry certain risks. Therefore, it
is important to understand and accept these
risks and possible complications when using the IPL epilator designed for
domestic use.
Side effects | Frequency of a side effect |
---|---|
Mild discomfort / unpleasant sensation on the skin | Sometimes |
Redness | Sometimes |
Hypersensitivity of the skin | Sometimes |
Burns or wounds | Rarely |
Scarring | Rarely |
Change in pigmentation | Rarely |
Excessive redness of the skin and swelling | Rarely |
Infection | Negligible |
Bruising | Negligible |
Mild discomfort / unpleasant sensation on the skin
Although hair removal by the appliance is generally well tolerated, most
people who use the epilator experience a mild discomfort, often described as a
tingling sensation on the treated area of the skin. This sensation generally
lasts throughout the entire application process.
Sometimes even a few minutes afterwards. Any other feelings of discomfort are
uncommon and means that you have to either stop the treatment, or lower the
selected power.
Redness
Skin that has been treated by the epilator may turn red after use or within
the next 24 hours.
The redness usually disappears within 24 hours. If the redness persists for
more than 2-3 days, contact your doctor.
Hypersensitivity of the skin
The skin is more sensitive in the area that has been treated and may be dry or
peeling.
Burns or wounds
Very rarely, burns or wounds may appear on the skin after the application. It
may take several weeks for the skin to heal completely and in some exceptional
cases a scar may remain.
Scarring
Although these cases are very rare, permanent scars may appear. Generally, the
scars take the form of a whitish superficial lesion (hypo trophic). However,
the scar may be large and red (hypertrophic) or larger than the injured area
(keloid). More advanced cosmetic treatment may be required to improve the
appearance.
Change in pigmentation
The epilator targets the hair roots, especially the pigment cells of the hair
follicle. However, there is a risk of temporary hyperpigmentation (brown
pigment increase or discoloration) or depigmentation (lightening) of the
surrounding skin. The risk of a change in pigmentation is higher among people
with darker skin.
Changes in pigmentation and colour are generally temporary. Cases of permanent
hyperpigmentation or depigmentation are rare.
Excessive redness of the skin and swelling
In some rare cases, the treated skin may become very red and swollen. This
reaction is more common on sensitive areas of the body. The redness and the
swelling should disappear within 2-7 days during which you should regularly
apply ice packs to the affected area.
Gentle cleansing is not a problem, but you should avoid any exposure to the
sun.
Infection
Skin infection is extremely rare, but it may occur after a burn or a lesion
caused by the epilator.
Bruising
The appliance may very rarely cause blue or purple bruises, which can last for
5 to 10 days. As the blue colour of the bruise disappears, the skin may turn
rusty brown (hyperpigmentation), this change can be permanent.
If you experience persistent discomfort or irritation during or after the
epilator treatment, consult your doctor.
