INTRODUCTION
The Professional Hair Removal Device uses intense pulsed light to neutralize hair follicles and
break the cycle of hair growth. Each pulse of light targets the melanin deep inside the hair follicle,
causing the hair to fall out naturally and prevents new hair from growing back.
FEATURES
• Clinical-grade technology for home use
• Suitable for hairline, cheek, lip, back, armpit, chest, arm, abdomen, bikini line, thigh and calves
• Compact and portable
• Includes razor and safety glasses
• Plugs into an AC outlet
Please note: This device is not suitable for those with dark skin (dark brown to black) and is not
effective on white, gray, red or light blonde hair.

BASIC OPERATION
IMPORTANT: Always wear the included safety glasses when operating the Professional Hair
Removal Device.
1. Use an alcohol wipe to clean the flash window. Shave the target area prior to use. Remove any
residual hair.
2. Plug the device into an AC outlet. The white indicator light will flash.
3. Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds. The white indicator light will turn solid and the
cooling fan will turn on.
4. Click the Power button to select the desired intensity level (1-5). The green LEDs will indicate
the intensity level.
5. Move the flash window to the target are until the white indicator light starts to flash. Now you
are ready to activate the pulse light. Press the Flash button to flash one time. NOTE: The white
indicator light will flash when in proximity to the skin, due to a built-in sensor in the flash
window. If the white indicator light is not flashing, move the device closer to the skin.
6. Move the device to an adjacent section of the target area and flash again. Continue moving
the device and flashing one time until you have covered the entire target area. NOTE: After
every flash, the device needs to recharge. When the device is ready to flash again, the white
indicator light will illuminate (in 1-3 seconds).
7. Press and hold the Power button to turn the device OFF. Clean the flash window with an
alcohol wipe. NOTE: When you are finished, cool the target area with ice water, a damp towel or a
cooling balm. A toner may also be used to retain moisture.
TESTING THE DEVICE
Before beginning the hair removal process, test the device by flashing it on the inside of your upper
arm 1-2 times, from low to high intensity. Wait 2 hours to see if you have any adverse reactions. If you
experience severe reactions (redness, burns, stabbing pain), discontinue use and contact a physician.
If slight discomfort occurs, lower the intensity before using again. If the discomfort still occurs,
consult a physician.
OPERATING TIPS
• Patience is key to using this device.
• The hair removal cycle will be about 2-3 months.
• Use the device for 1 session every 2 weeks during hair removal cycle.
• Do not use the device multiple times on the target area. Consult the chart below for
recommended uses.
• Trim or shave thick hair prior to using the device.
• As the hair growth diminishes, use the device less frequently.
NOTE: Results may vary.
