STEP 5:
TEST A PATCH OF SKIN
Before treating an area for use each
time, test a patch of skin to determine
the appropriate energy level. Mild to
moderate discomfort that is tolerable is
normal. If the discomfort is intolerable, or
you develop side eects, STOP.
Use the table to determine the energy
level that is right for you.
Note: Higher energy levels are more
eective, but may not be tolerable or may
cause side eects.*
DO NOT FLASH A PATCH OF SKIN MORE
THAN ONCE; YOU WILL NOT GET AN
ACCURATE RESULT, AND IT MAY CAUSE
SIDE EFFECTS.*
*Side eects include blistering, burns, and changes in skin tone. Wait 15 minutes to see if acute side eects develop. If you are unsure about
your skin’s reaction to a particular energy level, do not treat with that energy level. Wait 24 hours before treating to be sure you have selected
the appropriate energy level.
