Warnings
Who should not use (contraindications)
DO NOT use if you have epilepsy or light-induced seizures
or chronic migraines. The energy ashes might cause
severe headaches and migraines.
DO NOT use if you have an active implant, such as a
pacemaker, incontinence device, insulin pump, etc. Use
of the mē has not been tested in individuals with active
implants, and, therefore, the effects are unknown.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. The mē should not be
used by anyone, or on anyone, under the age of 18. The
use of the mē on or by children has not been studied and
could result in serious damage.
The mē is not to be used by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction.
Warnings
DO NOT use if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant
(conceiving) or breast-feeding. The mē has not been tested
on pregnant or breast-feeding women. Hormonal changes
could increase skin sensitivity and the risk of skin damage.
DO NOT treat with the mē immediately after or before an
active tanning session - in natural light, on a tanning bed or
when using sunless tanning products. If you are not certain
whether you are tanning or sunburned it is recommended to
do a skin sensitivity test (page 8) and wait 24 hours.
DO NOT use the mē on areas that have been sunburned as
this can make the skin more susceptible to damage.
DO NOT use directly on parts of your skin where you have
tattoos, dark brown or black spots (such as large freckles,
birthmarks or moles). These areas may absorb too much light
energy which can damage the skin.
DO NOT use on the ears, neck, nipples, genitalia or around
the anus. These areas may have more sensitive skin and
using the mē there may cause serious damage.
DO NOT use on or around the eyes, eyebrows or eyelashes.
Doing so could cause permanent eye damage.
DO NOT use on a man's face, jaw or neck. Using the mē in
these areas may result in skin damage.
DO NOT use the mē on any area where you may want
the hair to grow back. The hair removal results may be
permanent.
DO NOT use the mē if you are sensitive to light
(photosensitive).
• Some diseases can be related to photosensitivity

including porphyria, polymorphic light eruption, solar
urticaria and lupus.
• Some medications can be related to photosensitivity
including: NSAIDS; steroids; antibiotics; phenothiazine;
thiazide, diuretics, sulfonyluraes, sulfonamides, DTIC,
uorouracil, vinblastine, griseofulvin, Alpha-Hydroxy Acids
(AHAs), Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), Retin-A, Accutane®
and/or topical retinoids.
• Undergoing radiation or chemo-therapy treatments.
These conditions can make the skin more sensitive to light
and more susceptible to damage. Consult your doctor.
DO NOT use if you have an active or known skin condition in
the treatment area including acne, sores, psoriasis, eczema,
sunburns, melasma, herpes simplex, open wounds or a rash.
These conditions can make the skin more sensitive to light
and more susceptible to damage.
DO NOT use if you have a history of skin cancer or areas of
potential skin malignancies. Use of the mē has not been
tested in areas with skin cancer, and therefore, the effects
are unknown.
DO NOT hold the treatment window still over one spot on
the skin and emit multiple light ashes on the skin. Doing so
may generate too much heat, which can damage the skin.
DO NOT cover the cooling vents during use, as they help
to keep the device cool during operation. Covering the
cooling vents could result in the device overheating.
DO NOT get the mē damp or wet.
DO NOT use the mē while bathing or put it next to a bath or
sink.
DO NOT operate the mē with a damaged plug or cord.
For means of isolation – disconnect the device from the
mains.
Use only the power supply provided with the mē.
DO NOT open the outer covers of the mē or touch any inner
parts.
DO NOT attempt to repair your mē device.
ALWAYS keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Failure
to follow these precautions can cause electrocution, electric
shock or result in damage.
ALWAYS attach the AC plug from the power supply into the
device rst, then into the wall socket.
DO NOT use the mē in an environment where a spark could
cause an explosion, such as near a gas source.

Skin sensitivity test
If you are using the mē for the rst time or treating a
new body area, choose a small area close to the area
you intend to treat. The Skin Sensitivity Test should be
performed on LOW energy level:
• Prepare your skin for the test and follow the treatment
instructions.
• Wait 30 minutes and check your skin for any reaction. If
the skin appears normal, then you are ready to perform
a full treatment.
• If the treated spot appears red or irritated, please wait
24 hours and repeat the test. Otherwise consult your
doctor.
How to use your mē
If this is your rst time using the device, be sure to conduct
the Skin Sensitivity Test.
Step 1:
Preparation
To prepare for your mē treatment:
• First remove hair from the area you want to treat.
• Clean your skin and dry it with a towel.
• This will ensure that the elōs technology is focused
on the hair follicles beneath the surface for optimal
efcacy.
If you have light hair, it is recommended that you wax or
epilate immediately before treating with the mē in order
to get the best results. Make sure to clean your skin of any
wax or hair residue before starting treatment. Do not treat
if you feel your skin is irritated from waxing or epilation.

Step 3:
Treating your body
Gently place the device on your skin, so that both RF
contact bars are in complete contact with the skin (image
D). The device will not work unless both RF contact bars are
touching your skin.
• The mē will emit ashes of bright light - this is the elōs
energy at work.
• Slowly glide the device over the treatment area, without
lifting the device move to the next spot only after the
treatment ash has been emitted.
• Continue gliding the device over the area so that you
pass over the same area 2-3 times.

Step 2:
Activate

energy level. The left energy level indicator light will
turn blue (image A) and you will hear the fan inside the
device.
• MEDIUM or HIGH: Use the elōs button to select higher
energy levels for greater efcacy (image B, C). Always
start treating on LOW and if you are comfortable, move
to MEDIUM or HIGH energy level for greater efcacy.
