Intended Use
This is a home-use device
intended for the removal
of unwanted hair on the
entire body (e.g., legs, arms,
underarms, bikini line, back,
shoulders, chest and stomach)
and on permitted facial areas
(i.e., above upper lip, cheek,
jaw, chin and neck).
It is considered a medical
device without medical use
and does not have clinical
benefit.
Note: This device is especially
designed for your own personal
treatment and is intended for a
single user and home use only.
How Does RPLTM
(Reactive Pulsed
Light) Work?
RPLTM is an advanced
technology which uses
clinically proven IPL (Intense
Pulsed Light) technology in
conjunction with a skin tone
and skin contact sensor. The
light emitted from the device
penetrates the skin and is
then absorbed by the melanin
pigment in the hair shaft.
The heat produced by this
light goes into the follicle and
generates a local thermal
eect, also known as selective
photothermolysis. The thermal
eect disables the hair follicle
which causes a reduction in
hair growth while leaving the
surrounding skin unaected
and cool.
Long-term hair reduction–
Hair growth cycle
Two factors play an important
role in optimal long-term hair
reduction:

9
English
• Hair growth cycle. Hair
growth involves three
phases: Anagen, Catagen,
and Telogen. Anagen is
the growth phase, while
Catagen and Telogen
are the resting phases.
Permanent hair reduction
can only occur in the
Anagen phase, the phase
of growth. Since hair growth
is not synchronized, it is
recommended to complete
the full treatment protocol
to ensure every hair will
be exposed to treatment
during its Anagen phase.
• Skin tones. Darker skin
contains more melanin,
which competes with the
targeted hair for energy
absorption. When more
energy is absorbed into the
skin, there is a greater risk
of adverse eects.
Pase 1-Anagen
(growth phase)
Phase 2 - Catagen
(regression phase)
Phase 3 - Telogen
(shedding phase)
Please make sure to
carefully read this
user guide before
you start using the
device. The user guide
can also be found at
www.sensica.com
How To Use
The device is suitable for use
on: legs, arms, underarms,
bikini line, back, shoulders,
chest, stomach, and permitted
facial areas (above upper lip,
cheek, jaw, chin and neck).
What to expect
During your treatment, it is
normal to experience:
• A flash of light with each
press on the trigger button
– the emitted light will not
harm your eyes.
• A pop noise with each flash
of light.
• A mild, stinging sensation.

10
English
Preliminary Test
Before your first treatment
on each new body area, we
recommend you test your skin
in that area to determine your
skin's reaction to treatment
with the device and help you
set the optimal energy level for
each treatment area. Dierent
body areas may have dierent
sensitivity and may therefore
require dierent energy levels.
Perform a preliminary test on
a hidden patch of skin for
the area you intend to treat
24 hours prior to the first full
treatment.
Note: Do not treat full areas
with energy levels that you
have not tested before!
1. Prepare your skin as
described below in
"Prepare the area you
intend to treat" section.
2. Select the lowest energy
level and deliver a flash.
3. You can increase the
energy level as long as
it feels comfortable. You
may continue to do this up
to the maximum energy
level unless you begin to
experience discomfort.
Each energy level should
be tested on a new patch
of skin (do not overlap
flashes).
4. If you do not feel
comfortable or notice any
adverse eects, stop the
test immediately!
5. If there is no adverse skin
reaction after 24 hours,
you can proceed with a full
treatment using the highest
comfortable energy level
that you tested.

11
English
Getting Started
Step 1: Prepare the area
you intend to treat
1. Remove all jewelery.
2. Make sure the hair on your
skin in the treatment area
is shaved or trimmed. DO
NOT wax, epilate or pluck
hair in the treated area
before the first treatment
or between treatments as
this will remove the hair
shaft that absorbs the light
energy during treatment.
3. Cleanse the skin of any
residue of powders, creams,
makeup, antiperspirants, or
deodorants, and then pat
the skin dry.
4. Never use flammable
liquids such as alcohol
(including perfumes,
sanitizers, or other
applications containing
alcohol) or acetone on the
skin for one hour before
using the device, as it may
cause burning of the skin.
Important note: Try
not to overlap pulses-
repeated pulses on
the same spot may
increase the chance
of adverse eects.

12
English
Important: Do not use any
cream or gel while using the
device since it may prevent
normal operation.
1. Insert the Power Supply into
the base of the device.
2. Plug the Power Supply
into an electrical outlet.
Step 2: Device Operation
This device is equipped with a unique intelligent built-in skin-tone
sensor, located below the treatment window.
This unique safety feature is active continuously during the
treatment and will prevent a flash from occurring in areas where
your skin is too dark or too tanned, even if your general skin type
is lighter.

Recommended Treatment
For optimal results, you should
use the device consistently
following the recommended
treatment.
Body hair:
Hair removal treatments
1–4 will be two weeks apart
Hair removal treatments
5-8 will be four weeks apart.
Facial hair:
Hair removal treatments
1–5 will be two weeks apart.
Hair removal treatments
6-8 will be four weeks apart.
To maintain the results
following completion of
the treatment protocol, we
recommend performing a
treatment once a month, or as
required.
What to expect:
Dierent individuals and
dierent treatment areas may
not react equally to RPLTM
technology.
It may take up to 3-4
treatments (6-8 weeks) before
initial results can be seen.
The hair will continue to grow
for up to two weeks after the
treatment session. However,
as you progress through the
full treatment protocol, hair will
naturally and gradually fall out.
The number of sessions
required for achieving long
term results diers between
users and between treatment
areas and depends on factors
such as: age, hair colour and
skin tone.
Once the treatment protocol
is complete, you should see
further hair growth reduction.
Any remaining hairs should be
finer and lighter in colour.
Notes:
• It is recommended to use
the highest energy setting
that you found comfortable
during the preliminary test.
Note that facial treatments
should be performed at the
medium (2) or low (1) energy
levels.
• Lighter hair colours may
require more treatments in
order to see results.
• This device is suitable for
men. However, male body
hair, especially on the
chest, will require more
treatment sessions.

16
English
Allowed Facial areas
The facial skin is a sensitive
area that requires special
care and caution. Make sure
you follow all instructions and
safety precautions carefully in
order to avoid adverse eects.
It is recommended you first
do a body treatment and get
to know the device before
performing facial treatments.
This device can be used to
treat all facial areas below
the cheek line, such as: above
upper lip, cheek, jaw, chin and
neck.
Never use the
device around or
near your eyes.

17
English
Warnings
• When using this device
to treat facial areas, do
not use energy levels
exceeding the medium
level, since it may increase
the chance of adverse
events.
• Do not use the device on
the face above the cheek
line or around the eyes,
eyebrows and eyelashes
as this could cause serious
eye damage.
• Avoid the nostrils and lip,
as these areas are more
sensitive.
• The skin on the lower
third of the neck is more
sensitive. Take extra care
to avoid overlapping
treatment areas.
Note: Facial hair may be
hormonal and as such, it can
take more sessions to achieve
permanent hair reduction.
For male users: Take care while
treating the beard area; the
high density of hair means a
large amount of melanin which
absorbs the light energy during
treatment.

Troubleshooting
If the device
does not turn
on:
• Make sure that the power supply is plugged
properly into the device and the electrical
outlet.
• Make sure the power outlet has power.
If the device
does not
trigger a pulse:
• Verify there is full contact between the
device and your skin. The trigger button will
activate a pulse only when the device is in
full contact with the skin.
• Verify that the area you are trying to
treat is not too small, curved or bony. The
entire treatment window should touch the
treatment area. Pulling the skin flat can help
to achieve this.
• If the skin tone identified by the skin tone
and contact sensor is too dark, the flash
activation will be blocked, and the status
indicator will turn “momentarily” red.
In case of
general error:
• Reset the device by unplugging the power
cord from the electrical outlet on the wall,
wait 10 seconds and then reconnect it. Then
try turning on the device after resetting.
• In case of a pulse delay after Repositioning
the device on a dierent treatment area,
you should consider performing the
treatment in a cooler environment. The
device may pulse at a slower rate in a warm
environment.
• In case of dirt or debris on the treatment
window , you should clean the treatment
window according to the cleaning section.
