 Follow steps 2-6 of the previous section (‘Before first use and skin test’).

Note: It is normal that the appliance and the body attachment become warm 

during use.

 Slide the appliance over the skin to the next area to be treated 

and repeat steps 5 and 6 of section ‘First use and skin test’ in this 

chapter. After each flash, it takes up to 3.5 seconds until the appliance 

is ready to flash again. The ‘ready to flash’ light on the back of the 

appliance starts blinking again to indicate that it is charging. Wait until 

this light lights up continuously before you continue.

Tip for SC1992: The SC1992 has a ‘slide and flash’ feature: for a more efficient 

treatment, keep the flash button pressed while you slide the appliance over 

your skin.
Do not treat exactly the same area multiple times during one session. 

This does not improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but increases 

the risk of skin reactions. 

 5 

 To avoid untreated areas, make sure the flashes are produced close 

to each other. Note that effective light only comes out of the light 

exit window. However, always make sure you do not flash the same 

area twice.

 6 

 When you have finished the treatment, press and hold the on/off 

button for 2 seconds to switch off the appliance.

 7 

 Check the light exit window and the body attachment for hairs and 

dirt and clean the appliance after use (see chapter ‘Cleaning and 

maintenance’).

Tips

How to achieve optimal results

 - It is normal that hairs are still visible after the first few treatments (see 

chapter ‘Introduction’, section ‘Working principle’ for more information).

 - To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair follicle from 

becoming active again, the treatments have to be repeated once every 

two weeks for the first two months. Your skin should be smooth and 

hair-free by then. Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to find out 

how you can keep these results. 

Maintenance phase

 - To ensure that your skin stays smooth and hair-free, we advise you 

to repeat the treatment every four to six weeks. The time between 

treatments may vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also 

across different body areas. If too many hairs grow back between 

treatments, simply shorten the treatment interval again, but do not 

treat any area more often than once every two weeks. When you use 

the appliance more frequently than recommended, you do not increase 

the effectiveness but you do increase the risk of skin reactions.
