the highest risk groups
for this response are
females of Mediterranean,
Middle Eastern, and South
Asian heritage, treated
on the face and neck.
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.

English
Long-term hair reduction–
Hair growth cycle
Two factors play an
important role in optimal
long-term hair reduction:
• 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

English
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.
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 your skin" 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).

8
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.
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.
Important note: Try
not to overlap pulses-
repeated pulses on
the same spot may
increase the chance
of adverse eects.

9
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.
The standby indicator will
illuminate blinking green.
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.

dierent energy levels.
4. The energy level display
indicators will light up green
according to the selected
energy level (e.g., at energy
level 1, one green light will
be lit, at energy level 2, two
green lights will be lit, etc.).
5. Place the treatment
window on the desired
treatment area, ensuring
full contact with the skin
and press the trigger
button (marked as )

not trigger a flash if:
• The device is not
properly applied to the
skin. In this case, the
status indicator will turn
"momentarily" orange.
• Your skin tone is too
dark/tanned. In this
case, the status
indicator will turn
“momentarily” red.

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.

13
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.

14
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
