4. Possible side effects
When your IPL Hair Removal is used according to these instructions, side effects and complications
are rare. Nonetheless, all cosmetic treatments, even those designed for use at home, involve some
rises.Therefore, it is important to understand and accept these risks and possible complications when
you use a pulsed light depilation system designed for use at home.
If you superimpose pulses or administer multiple pulses on the same patch:

4.1 Slight annoying sensation in the skin.
Even if the IPL Hair Removal depilation is generally tolerated well, most people who use it feel a
slight annoying sensation during use, often described as a prickling sensation on the area being
treated. Generally, this sensation lasts throughout the application. Even for a few minutes afterwards.

Any discomfort beyond this annoying sensation is abnormal and means that either you must stop the
treatment , because you cannot tolerate it, or you must lower the selected power level.
4.2 Redness
Your skin could become red just after use of the IPL Hair Removal or in the 24 hours following
treatment.The redness generally disappears within 24 hours. Consult your physician if it persists
longer than 2 to 3 days.
4.3 Hypersensitivity of the skin
The skin is more sensitive in the area that has been treated and could dry out and scale.
4.4 Burns or sores.
Very rarely the skin may be exposed to injuries or burns following the application. Several weeks may
be necessary for it to heal completely and, in exceptional cases, a scar may remain.
4.5 Scarring
Even if these cases are very rare, permanent scars may appear. Generally the scars take the form of
a whitish superficial lesion (hypotrophic). Nonetheless, the scar may be large and red (hypertrophic)
or large and extended beyond the injured are(keloid). More advanced cosmetic treatment may be
required to improve the appearance.
4.6 Change in pigmentation
The IPL Hair Removal appliance targets the hair roots, in particular the pigmented cells of the bulb.
Nonetheless, there is a risk of temporary hyperpigmentation (increase in the brown pigmentation or
discoloration ) or Hypopigmentation (Whitening) of the surrounding skin. The risk of change in
pigmentation is higher among people with darker skin.
Generally, the change in pigmentation and the discolouration are temporary. Cases of permanent
hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation are rare.
4.7 Excessive redness and swelling
In some rare cases, treated skin may become very red and swollen. This reaction is more common in
sensitive areas of the body. The redness and the swelling should disappear within 2 to 7 days during
which you should apply ice to the affected area regularly. Gentle cleaning does not pose a problem,
but you should avoid any exposure to the sun.
4.8 Infection.
A skin infection is extremely rare, but may occur after a burn or a lesion of the skin caused by the IPL
Hair Removal
4.9 Bruising
Very rarely, using the IPL Hair Removal may cause some blue or purple bruising which could last 5 to
10 days. As the blue disappears, the skin may take on a rusty colour (hyperpigmentation) that could
be permanent.
Please consult your doctor if you experience persistent discomfort or irritation during or after the IPL
Hair Removal treatment.
5. Precautions for safe use

6. Presentation of your IPL Hair Removal System
6.1 Working Principle
For many years, the factory has placed itself at the leading edge of technology to better respond to
the increasingly demanding and pointed desires of women in depilation. Thanks to the IPL(Intense
Pulsed Light) epilation technique, the IPL Hair Removal will eliminate unwanted hair gently and
painlessly leaving smooth and silky skin .
The IPL Hair Removal is a personal long-lasting epilation device. The IPL Hair Removal procedure is

well known and has been mastered. It has been subjected to over 15 years of clinical testing around
the word and has proven its effectiveness and its safety in offering gradual but long-lasting hair
removal.
IPL Hair Removal based on the theory of selective photothermolysis which uses optical energy to
stop the growth of the hair. To obtain such thermal effects, the root of the hair must selectively absorb
the light energy and transform it into heat. This selection is produced when most of the optical energy
emitted is absorbed by the pigment of the bulb, while the surrounding skin and tissue remain cold.
This thermal effect painlessly destroys the hair and roots and prevents regrowth. This scientifically
proven technology gives quick and lasting results.
The amount of pigment in a person’s skin determines not only the colour , but also the level of risk to
which the user is exposed when using a form of depilation that uses light, regardless of which one.
The darker the skin, the higher the risk will be.

6.2 What impact does the growth cycle of the hair have on photo-epilation
Melanin is the pigment found in the hair, which allows the absorption of the light, to transform it into
heat in order to stop the hair growth. Also, the more melanin in the hair(i.e.,the darker the hair), the
more light it can absorb and the more efficient photo-epilation becomes.
Every hair on our body has three growth phases: the anagen, catagen and telogen phases. These
three phases play an important role in the process of IPL-epilation devices. The anagen phase is the
growth phase of the hair, while the catagen and telogen phases are both resting phases.. The time
the hair takes to go nest, and from one part of the body to the next. We can, however,establish an
average of between 18 and 24 months.
Most hair follicles are found at any one time in one of the two resting phases. Consequently, the IPL
Hair Removal will have no effect when they are in these resting phases. Nonetheless, it will affect the
hair that is in anagen phase. It is therefore important to understand the duration of a full follicular
cycle to obtain lasting results with your IPL Hair Removal .

6.3 Select the intensity level with CAUTION
The power intensity level designates the power of pulsed light administered to your skin during
treatment ranging from the lowest(I) to the highest(5) levels.
The power indicator lights indicate the selected level of power. If you increase the power the results
will be better, but there will also be an increased risk of side effects (cf,the section “possible side
Effects”
CAUTION: 48 hours correctly to the test, i.e. if you do not notice any abnormal reactions or
discomfort in the 48 hours following the test, you can select the power level of your appliance for your
first session using the following chart:
● For the first session, people with phototype I or II skin should set the appliance to level 3 at
most Gradually, over the next few sessions, if you do not experience any specific discomfort or
unpleasantness, the power level can be increased to level 4 and then to level 5.
● For the first session , people with phototype III or IV skin should set the appliance to level 2 at

most. Gradually, over the next few sessions, if you do not experience any specific discomfort or
unpleasantness, the power level can be increased to level3 then to level 4.
● For the first session, people with prototype V skin should set the appliance to level 1 at most.
Gradually over the next few sessions, if you do not experience any specific discomfort or
unpleasantness, the power level can be increased to level 2 then to level 3.
● The IPL Hair Removal appliance is not suitable for use by people with phototype VI skin.
Read the instructions fully before using the appliance and refer to the table below representing
various phototypes to select the safe power level every time you carry out a treatment.
The intensity selection guide must be used along with the table below for a safe use of the IPL
Hair Removal appliance.
PHOTOTYPES(according to the fitzpatrick scale):
I: Very white, milky skin- Never tans and always burns
II: Light – coloured skin – Tans lightly and usually burns
III: Beige skin – Tans moderately and sometimes burns
IV: Medium brown skin – Tans easily and seldom burns
V: Dark brown skin – Tans very easily and rarely burns
VI: Black skin

It is possible that the power intensity level required will vary with the difference in a person’s skin
colour to the area to be treated. Skin on the arms, generally exposed to the sun more frequently, is for
example darker than the underarm.

But be careful by increasing the power level for light areas on your body. You will have better results
but you also increase the risk of discomfort or even side effects.
6.4 Session planning
A full follicular cycle takes on average from 18 to 24 months during which many sessions with your
IPL Hair Removal will be necessary to obtain long-lasting results. The efficiency of the appliance will
vary from one person to the next and will depend on the area being treated, the colour of the hair and
the way in which the appliance is used.
Below is an example of a depilation schedule over a full growth cycle.
● The first 4 sessions with the IPL Hair Removal should be 2 weeks apart.
● Next sessions should be 4 weeks apart until you achieve the desired results.
