What is sensiLight™ Mini
The sensiLight™ Mini device is an over-the-
counter device intended for the removal of
unwanted hair. The sensiLight™ Mini is also
intended for permanent reduction in hair
regrowth, defined as a long-term, stable
reduction in the number of hair regrowing
when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after
the completion of treatment regimen.
RPL (Reactive Pulsed Light)™
technology - How does it work
The sensiLight™ Mini is based on
the scientific principle of selective
photothermolysis.
RPL™ (Reactive Pulsed Light) advanced
technology uses IPL technology along
with a combination of unique skin
condition sensors. The light penetrates the
epidermis to the dermis and is absorbed
by the melanin in the hair shaft. The heat
generated by the absorbed light then
dissipates into the follicle and generates
local thermal damage, causing a reduction
in hair growth.
Long-term hair reduction – Hair
growth cycle
Two factors play an important role in
optimal long-term hair reduction:
• Hair growth cycle 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 during the
Anagen phase.
• Skin types (according to the Fitzpatrick
scale) are illustrated on the diagram
below: Darker skin contains more melanin,
which competes with the targeted hair for
energy light absorption. When more light
energy is absorbed into the skin, there is
a greater risk of adverse effects, and the
epidermis may be damaged.

Possible side effects
When using the sensiLight™ Mini
according to the instructions for use, side
effects are rare. However, every aesthetic
procedure including the usage of home
use devices may cause some degree of
side effects. Therefore it is important that
you understand and accept the risks and
complications that can occur with pulsed
light hair removal system:
Degree of
side effects Side effects
Minor
side-effects
Skin irritation
Skin redness
Skin sensitivity
Rare
side-effects
Skin burns
Scarring
Pigment changes
Excessive redness
and swelling
Extremely rare
side-effects
Infection
Bruising
• Skin irritation - The use of Pulsed Light
Hair Removal System is generally very
well- tolerated, the majority of users do
feel a sensation of warmth and a mild
stinging sensation during treatment or a
few minutes after. Anything beyond this
skin irritation – discomfort is abnormal
and means that either the energy level is
too high, or you shouldn’t continue using
the sensiLight™ Mini as you are unable to
tolerate the hair reduction application.
• Skin redness
- Redness on the treated area
may appear right after using the application
or within 24 hours of using the sensiLight™
Mini. Consult your physician in case the
redness does not disappear within 2 to 3
days.
• Skin sensitivity - You may feel that your
skin in the treated area is more sensitive
so you may encounter dryness or flaking
of the skin.
• Skin burns - Rarely, burns on the treated
area can occur following the use of the
hair removal reduction system. The
burns can require a few weeks to heal

11
and, extremely rarely, may leave a visible
permanent scar.
• Scarring - In rare cases, permanent
scarring may occur. Usually when scarring
occurs it is in the form of a flat and white
lesion on the skin (hypotrophic). However,
it can be large and red (hypertrophic) or
large and extend beyond the margins
of the injury itself (keloid). Subsequent
aesthetic treatments may be required to
improve the appearance of the scar.
• Pigment changes - Use of the sensiLight™
Mini may cause temporary skin
hyperpigmentation (increased pigment or
brown discoloration) or hypopigmentation
(whitening) to the surrounding skin.
The risk is higher for people with darker
skin tones. Usually discoloration or
changes to skin pigment are temporary
and permanent hyperpigmentation or
hypopigmentation rarely occur.
• Excessive redness and swelling - Very
rarely, the treated area skin may become
very red and swollen. This side effect is
very common in sensitive areas of the
body. The redness and swelling should be
decreased after 2 to 7 days and you should
treat the area by applying ice. You should
avoid exposure to sun.
• Infection- In rare cases, infection of the
skin is a possible risk following a skin
burns caused by the application.
• Bruising - Blue-purple bruising
is exceedingly rare by using the
sensiLight™ Mini and can last 5 to 10
days. As the bruising fades, there may
be a rust-brown discoloration of the
skin (hyperpigmentation) that can be
permanent.
Benefits
sensiLight™ Mini features an automatic
built-in skin color sensor that is designed
to provide you with complete safety
and reassurance. The sensor continually
evaluates your skin tone and allows
sensiLight™ Mini to perform only on
suitable areas. This smart safety feature also
automatically disables treatment if your skin
is too dark or too tanned.

12
As an extra precaution, sensiLight™ Mini has
been designed to only emit a light pulse
when it is in contact with your skin.
Response to sensiLight™ Mini hair reduction
differs between individuals depending on
biological factors and how closely treatment
instructions are followed.
Based on the treatment regime followed in
the User’s Guide you should expect to see
some improvement in 3-4 weeks.
The hair will continue to grow up to two
weeks after a hair reduction session.
However, thereafter as the hair grows in
three different stages the hairs will naturally
and gradually fall out depending on the hair
growth stage in during which the treatment
was done (only hairs in the active growth
phase will be affected). Some hair may not
be affected by the sensiLight™ Mini because
of the different hair growth phases.
For permanent reduction in hair regrowth,
defined as a long-term, stable reduction
in the number of hair regrowing when
measured at 6, 9, and 12 months you should
follow treatment regimen.

(handheld device and power supply).
2. Before beginning the treatment, make
sure the device is clean, dry, and intact.
3. Plug the power supply end into an
electrical outlet and the cord end into the
device socket.
The sensiLight™ Mini is now ready to be
used.
How to prepare yourself
1. Prior to use, make sure your skin is shaved
and cleanse the treatment area and pat
dry (free of any residue such as powders,
creams, makeup, antiperspirants or
deodorants).
2. Between treatments, you can shave but
don’t wax or pluck hair.
3. Never use flammable liquids such as
alcohol (including perfumes, sanitizers, or
other applications containing alcohol) or
acetone to clean the skin one hour before
using sensiLight™ Mini as it may cause
burning of the skin.
Remember! The sensiLight™ Mini comes
with a built-in skin-tone sensor, enabling
the application only on a suitable skin
range. This unique safety feature will not
let you treat areas where your skin is too
dark or too tanned, even if your general
skin type is lighter.
4. For sensiLight™ Mini maintenance and
prolong use, device cleaning is a must
(Cleaning chapter).
5. Do a preliminary test on a small patch of
skin in the intended treatment area, 48
hours prior to first use of the sensiLight™
Mini to determine energy level settings
for your treatment (as depicted in the
preliminary test section).
6. sensiLight™ Mini is suitable for men.
However male body hair, especially
those on the chest will require more hair
reduction sessions.

14
Preliminary test
The preliminary test is intended to
determine your skins reaction to the
sensiLight™ Mini treatment and help you set
the optimal energy level for each treatment
area.
Do a preliminary test on each area you
intend to treat 48 hours prior to the full
treatment
.
Note:
Do not treat full areas with energy levels
that you have not tested before!
Do not treat the tested area for at least 48
hours after the preliminary test is done.
1. Select the lowest level and deliver a pulse
on the selected preliminary test skin area.
2. If you feel comfortable with the energy
level, increase it to level 2 and perform an
additional pulse on the next spot.
3. Only if you feel comfortable, you may
reach the maximum energy level of 3.
4. Stop the test once you do not feel
comfortable, as increasing the energy
level increases the risk of adverse effects.
5. If you see adverse effects such as severe
redness or blistering - stop the test
immediately.
6. Wait 48 hours and examine the tested
area.
If the skin in the test area seems normal (no
response or mild redness observed), you can
proceed with a full treatment in the highest
comfortable energy level that you tested.
If you see extreme redness, swelling, or
blistering even in the low-energy level
settings, do not do the full treatment in that
area.
How to use sensiLight™ Mini device

the unit after each treatment session.
Important notes:
• Try not to overlap pulses on the same
spot. Repeated pulses on the same spot
may cause burns.
• Do not treat the same area of skin more
than once per treatment as it may cause
skin irritation.
• sensiLight™ Mini will not trigger a pulse if:
• There is no full contact of the
treatment window with your skin
• Your skin tone is too dark or tanned

16
Notes:
• Response to sensiLight™ Mini hair
reduction differs between individuals,
depending on biological factors.
• It may take up to 3-4 weeks before the full
results of the sensiLight™ Mini treatment
can be seen. The hair will continue to grow
up to two weeks after a hair reduction
session. However, thereafter as the hair
grows in three different stages the hairs
will naturally and gradually fall out
depending on the hair growth stage in
during which the treatment was done (only
hairs in the active growth phase will be
affected). Some hair may not be affected
by the sensiLight™ Mini because of the
different hair growth phases. To remove
this hair multiple treatment sessions are
required to reach the desired result.
• The number of sessions required for
achieving long term results is different for
every treatment area and changing for
every user, as it is effected by type of skin’
hair and hormonal changes.

time if growth is still visible.
• You may use the treatment log at the end
of this manual, in order to assist you with
recording your specific treatments areas,
dates and duration.
What to expect when using
sensiLight™ Mini
During your hair removal treatment it is
normal to experience:
• A flash of light on each press of the
activation bottom. The light will not
harm the eyes when the device is applied
with full contact to the skin on the
recommended treatment areas.
• A pop noise with each pulse – occurs
whenever a pulse is activated.
• A sensation of warmth – radiates from the
light energy after each pulse.
• A mild stinging sensation – can be felt,
similar to being snapped with a rubber
band.
• Some mild red or pink color - appears
during and just after using the sensiLight™
Mini.
Post-treatment care
• Apply a calming lotion such as Aloe Vera.
• Avoid using peeling and bleaching creams
or products for at least 24 hours as this
irritates the treated skin.
• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2
weeks post treatment. If recently treated
skin is exposed to sunlight in this time
period, make sure to apply SPF 30 or
higher sunscreen.
• Do not wax or pluck hairs from treated areas.
Remember! It may take up to 2 weeks for
the hair to grow and be fully out if the hair
follicle is still active.

Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with the
sensiLight™ Mini, please refer to below
information to try to resolve it.
• If sensiLight™ Mini does not turn on:
• Make sure that the power supply is
plugged properly into sensiLight™ Mini
device and the electrical outlet.
• Make sure that the power outlet has
power.
• If sensiLight™ Mini does not trigger a
pulse:
• Verify there is full contact with the skin.
The trigger button will activate a flash
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 to treat.
You should get the whole treatment
window to touch the treatment area (try
to pull the skin flat).
• If the skin color level identified by
sensiLight™ Mini is too dark, the flash
activation will be blocked. This situation
is indicated by a“momentary“ red light
on the device.
• In the case of a safety issue or when the
lamp has reached its end, a steady red light
will come on. The device will shut down.
General error:
• In case of dirt debris is stuck on the
treatment window, you should clean
the treatment window according to the
cleaning section. If you can’t get the area
clean, contact our Customer Service.
• In case of a delay in pulse after
repositioning the device on different
treatment area, you should consider
working on cooler environment. The
device may pulse at a slower rate in a
warm environment.
