HOW DOES THE EPILATOR WORK

IPL technology
Epilation is performed using intense pulsed light. The whole process is painless, leaving your skin smooth for up to several months.
Using IPL technology, the epilator emits gentle pulses of light in the wavelength range of 510 to 1100 nm below the surface of the skin. This targets the melanin in the hair follicle and helps break the cycle of hair re-growth. Light pulses create heat that warms the hair follicle, destroying it which leads to the hair falling out.
What can you expect?
After application
You should not see any significant side effects of the treatment immediately after application. During the first weeks of use, hair growth will still be visible. These are probably hairs that were not in their growth phase during application when IPL technology is most effective.
6th to 12th week of use
You should already see a reduction in hair growth. However, many hairs will still not have be treated in their growth phase. It is important to continue weekly treatment.
After 12 weeks of use
Approximately after completing the 12-week plan, you should already notice a significant re-duction in hair in the treated area. The remaining hairs should be finer and lighter. Continued monthly treatment or treatment as needed should keep your skin hair-free.

HOW TO USE THE EPILATOR? Before using for the first time

Recommended skin colour
TrueLife IPL epilators work effectively and safely on different skin tones. In general, IPL epilators are not recommended for dark skin and light hair. To determine if an IPL epilator is right for you, use the Fitzpatrick scale, which distinguishes 6 degrees of skin colour, and determine if an IPL epilator is right for you.

Preparing the skin
Before use, make sure that your skin is in good condition without injury. It must also be shaved, clean and dry (without any residue such as creams, make- up, antiperspirants or deodorants).
Before the first epilation, we recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin. Per-form the test 24 hours before epilation to check for any side effects.
How to test

1. Choose an area of skin close to the area you want to epilate.
2. Switch on the device and select level 1.
3. Place the device on the skin, press the treatment button and the device will emit a flash. Emit two flashes like this, corresponding to two treatment windows on the surface.
4. Increase the setting by one level and repeat the flashes. Repeat for the other levels until the flashes are uncomfortable. Once you reach a level that is uncomfortable for you, end the test. Use the last level, which is pleasant for you, during the subsequent epilation.
5. After the test, wait 24 hours and check for a skin reaction. If the skin looks normal, you can proceed with the first epilation. A patch test should be performed on all areas you are going to treat.

Preparing the device

1. Remove the device and its accessories from the box.
2. Before starting treatment, make sure that the device is clean, dry and undamaged. You can clean the epilation window.
3. Connect the charging base to an electrical outlet and then the device to the charging base.
4. The device is now ready for use.

Note: Before switching on, make sure that the lamp head is installed correctly.

EPILATION
If the patch test is successful and your skin is prepared, you can start epilating.

1. Press the power button for 3 to 5 seconds to turn on the device.
2. The LED indicator starts flashing blue and white. When the device is ready for use, the indica-tor lights up white only.
3. On the display you can see: the type of lamp, the number of flashes remaining, the light in-tensity level, the cooling mode icon, the auto mode icon and the overheating warning icon.
4. Press the level button to set your desired light level (level 1 lowest, level 5 highest), which you determined during the patch test.
5. When you have everything ready, touch the skin where you want to epilate. As shown in the picture. The indicator lights up blue and the device is ready to emit light.
6. Press the treatment button to emit a flash. The flash should make you feel warm.
7. Place the device on the next area you want to epilate. After each flash, it takes up to 3 seconds for the device to be ready for the next flash. You can emit a flash when the blue indicator lights up again.
8. To ensure complete treatment of all areas, emit flashes close together. Effective light comes only from the light-emitting treatment window, so the treated areas need to overlap. Howe-ver, always be sure to send the flash to the same area only once. Irradiation of the same area does not double the effectiveness of the treatment, but increases the risk of skin reactions.
9. When you have finished epilating, hold down the power button for 3 to 5 seconds and the device will switch off.
10. Disconnect the device from the power supply.

Note: The device may enter overheat protection mode after a long period of operation. The device cannot be used in this mode until its temperature drops. The device can be used again as soon as the overheating warning icon disappears.
Note: If redness or burning occurs for several minutes, soothe the skin by applying a coolant or a cotton pad.
Note: If you notice any discoloration on the skin (such as fading or darkening), stop using the device immediately and undergo a medical examination to determine the cause.
Modes
The device offers two epilation modes for convenience. In addition to the standard single flash mode, it is also possible to use automatic mode.
Standard mode
Standard mode is suitable for treating small and hard-to-reach areas. These include the face, armpits, bikini area, knees, shins and ankles.
Auto mode
Auto mode offers convenient and fast use on larger areas such as feet. Hold down the level button for 3 seconds. The device switches to automatic mode. Move the device slowly and smoothly from the bottom to the top of the epilated area. Make sure that the device is in constant contact with the skin so that it can emit flashes at all times.
Cooling mode
Cooling mode is automatically switched on. During epilation, the skin is cooled at the same time making the treatment less painful. If you want to turn off the automatic cooling when epilating, press the cooling mode button. Pressing the button again to switch it on. The cooling mode can also be used on it own. Press the cooling mode button for 3-5 seconds. You can then place the device on the area and slowly slide it to cool the area. To turn off cooling mode, press the cooling mode button again for 3-5 seconds.
Treatment plan
The hair growth cycle varies from person to person. It ranges around 16 months depending on which part of the body. Due to the fact that only hairs in the growth phase respond to the epila-tion, several treatments are needed to achieve permanently smooth skin. For these reasons, we recommend the following plan.
Initial phase
For the first 4 to 12 weeks, we recommend epilating once a week. If hair growth stops before, it is not necessary to continue treatment until the end of week 12. In this case, you can move on to the next stage.
Maintenance phase
After the initial phase, we recommend treatments every 4 to 8 weeks when you notice hair growth. This phase helps to preserve the results achieved and maintain smooth skin for many months. The time between treatments may vary with regard to individual hair growth and also to each specific area of the body.

Lamp head types
The device can be used with three different lamp heads. Each lamp has a different function.

• HR lamp – The HR lamp is designed for hair removal.
• SR lamp – The SR lamp is designed to rejuvenate the skin.
• AC lamp – The AC lamp is designed to remove acne.

Replacing the lamp head
The device allows you to remove and replace the lamp head. Follow the instructions below.

AFTERCARE

• After epilating, you can safely apply lotion, cream, deodorant, moisturizer or other cosmetic products to the treated area.
• If you experience skin irritation or redness after treatment, wait until these symptoms have disappeared before applying any product to the skin. If you notice skin irritation or redness after applying the product, rinse it with water.
• After epilating, we recommend not exposing the epilated area immediately to sunlight, or to protect it with a product with a protective factor. It is also not advisable to visit tanning booths and solariums within 24 hours after epilation.

DEVICE MAINTENANCE

• Maintaining this device ensures trouble-free operation and reduces the risk of damage.
