HAIR REMOVAL
VISS IPL with 640nm -900nm cartridge provides you hair reduction and
hair re-growth prevention. Optimal results were generally achieved
after four to ve treatments.A reduction in hair density is visible from
treatment to treatment. How fast the eect becomes visible and how
long the results last varies from person to person.
To treat all hairs successfully and prevent the hair root from
becoming active again, we advise you follow the provided treatment schedule.
SKIN REJUVENATION
Photorejuvenation with 550nm -900nm cartridge is eective against sun
damaged skin, age spots, rosacea , enlarged pores, acne, mild wrinkling
and ne lines. This process works by targeting damaged cells
and jumpstarting the body’s self-repairing mechanisms.
ACNE TREATMENT
Acne treatment with 400nm -700nm cartridge reduces the blood supply to the
sebaceous gland, which slows down production of the body oil sebum, and
destroys acne bacteria blocking the pores of the skin.

5.2 Tanning Advice
SUN EXPOSURE BEFORE TREATMENT

Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) and/or can cause
sunburn (reddening of the skin).
• After these 48 hours, check the skin for any remaining sunburn.
Do not use as long as sunburn persists.
• When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test on the
area to be treated to determine the appropriate light intensity, see
‘First use’ section.
• If your skin is tanned, you run a risk of developing skin reactions,
perform a skin test on the area to be treated to determine the
appropriate light intensity, see ‘First use’ section.
SUN EXPOSURE AFTER TREATMENT
• Wait at least 24 hours after treatment before you expose treated
areas to the sun. Even after 24 hours, make sure that the treated
skin does not show any redness from the treatment anymore
before you expose it to the sun.
• It is recommended to apply the optional VISS IPL Hair Removal
Post-treatment Gel anytime you plan to expose the treated areas
to the sun or articial UV rays between treatments. Otherwise
you must either cover the treated areas or use non-perfumed sun

• Exposing treated areas to the sun immediately after treatment
without protection can increase the risk of adverse side eects
and skin reactions.
