Frequently Asked Questions - PCIPL 3024 ProfiCare

How to use the epilator for the first time?

Before first use, read the instructions carefully. Perform a skin compatibility test 48 hours beforehand on a small area. Shave the hair (do not pluck) 3 days before or when it is 1-2 mm long. Plug in the device, turn it on, select the lowest intensity level, place the contact surface flat on the skin and press the flash button. Always wear the provided safety goggles.

What are the contraindications for using the device?

Do not use the device if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have tanned skin or sunburns, tattoos, moles, warts in the area to be treated, are taking photosensitizing medications, suffer from epilepsy, diabetes, blood clotting disorders, or have an active implant (pacemaker, insulin pump). Consult a doctor if in doubt.

How many sessions are needed for lasting results?

A hair growth cycle lasts 18 to 24 months. The typical plan includes 8 to 12 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart depending on the area. For example, on legs with dark brown to black hair, expect 8-10 sessions for a 60% reduction in regrowth. Results vary by individual.

Can I use the device on tanned skin?

No, the device is contraindicated on dark or tanned skin (Fitzpatrick type V-VI). Use may cause burns, blisters, or pigmentation changes. Wait until the tan fades completely before any use. Protect treated skin from the sun with SPF30+ sunscreen for 2 weeks after each session.

What to do in case of skin irritation after a session?

Mild redness or tingling is normal and usually disappears within 24 hours. Apply ice to reduce swelling. If blisters or burns appear, stop use immediately and consult a dermatologist. If pigmentation changes persist, seek medical advice.

How to clean the epilator after use?

Turn off and unplug the device. Use a dry, clean cloth to wipe the surface, especially the flash window and contact area. Never use water, solvents, or abrasive products. Never immerse the device in water.

When should I replace the attachment (flash cartridge)?

The attachment should be replaced after approximately 50,000 flashes. You can order it under reference 399995. To replace, simply pull the old one forward and insert the new one, making sure it clicks into place. The device will not work without a properly installed attachment.

Does the device work on blond, red, or gray hair?

No, the device targets the melanin in the hair. It is effective on black, brown, and dark blond hair. Light blond, red, gray, or white hair does not contain enough melanin and will not be treated effectively. The color chart in the instructions indicates compatibilities.

Can I use the epilator on the face?

The device is designed for legs, arms, underarms, bikini, chest, and back. It is not intended for the face (unless explicitly stated otherwise). Never use on eyelids, near the eyes, nipples, anus, or genitals. Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes.

What to do if the device does not flash?

First check that the attachment is properly installed, the device is plugged in, and the START indicator blinks green. Make sure the contact surface is in full contact with the skin. If the problem persists, turn off, unplug for 5 seconds, then try again. If the error continues, contact customer service.

Intended Use

The appliance is used to remove undesirable body hair. The appliance is not suitable for individuals under the age of 18.

It is also used for reducing the regrowth of the body hair.

The appliance is designed for the following applications areas:

Legs, arms, bikini zone, armpits, chest and back.

It is not suitable for the region of the nipples, anus or genitals (male or female).

Possible Side Effects

If the instructions in this manual are followed, side effects and complications in relation to the use of the appliance will be rare. Nevertheless, every cosmetic method, including those that are intended for domestic use, is associated with certain risks. It is therefore important that you understand and accept the risks and complications associated with intense light pulse hair removal systems for domestic use.

Complication Likelihood
Effect of multiple pulses at the same location	Minor

Side Effect Likelihood
Slight irritation of the skin Minor
Erythema Minor
Increased skin sensitivity Minor
Skin wounds and burns Rarely
Scar formation Rarely
Pigment changes Rarely
Excessive redness and swelling Rarely
Infection Negligible
Haematoma Negligible

Slight Irritation of the Skin

Although a hair removal with intense light pulses for domestic use is generally well tolerated, most users experience a minor discomfort during application. The irritation of the skin is usually described as a slightly stinging sensation to the treated skin surfaces. The stinging sensation usually persists as long as the flash of light is active or even a few minutes after that. Everything that goes beyond this minor discomfort is not normal and means you should either stop using the appliance since you are intolerant to this hair removal or the selected power setting is too high.

Erythema

Your skin may become red immediately after using the appliance or within 24 hours after the application. An erythema usually fades away within 24 hours. Consult a doctor if the erythema does not disappear within 2 to 3 days.

Increased Skin Sensitivity

The skin of the treated area is more sensitive than usual so that it may result in dehydration or peeling off skin.

Skin Wounds and Burns

In very rare cases, burns or skin wounds may occur after using the appliance. The burn or skin wound may take a few weeks to heal. In extremely rare cases, it will leave a scar.

Scar Formation

Despite its rarity, however, a permanent scar formation may occur. In the event of a scar formation, it usually appears in form of a flat and white lesion (Hypotrophy) on the skin. However, it can also be large and red (Hypertrophy) or large and beyond the edges of said injury (Keloid). Subsequent aesthetic treatments may be necessary to improve the appearance of the scar.

Pigment Changes

The appliance targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented cells in the hair follicles, and the hair follicles themselves. There is, however, a danger of hyperpigmentation (reinforced pigment or brown colouration) or hypopigmentation (fading) of the surrounding skin. The risk of changes in the skin pigmentation is higher for people with a darker complexion. Normally, colourations or pigment changes of the skin are temporary and a permanent hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation occurs rarely.

Excessive Redness and Swelling

On rare occasions, the treated skin may become very red and start to swell. This occurs more often at sensitive body sites. The erythema and swelling should subside within 2 to 7 days. Frequent cooling with ice may help to reduce the swelling. Gentle cleaning of the skin is permitted, but you should avoid exposing yourself to the sun.

Infection

An infection of the skin is extremely rare. However, there is a potential risk subsequently to a burn or skin wound caused by the appliance.

Haematoma

In very rare cases, blue marks (Haematoma) which can last 5 to 10 days may be formed after using the appliance. A russet coloration of the skin (Hyperpigmentation) may occur when the haematoma fades away.

Hair Colour and Skin Type Table

Do not use the appliance on naturally dark skin or tanned skin. The application on dark skin may result in burns, blisters and changes in skin colour.

Hair Colour	Celtic Skin Type I II III IV V VI	Nordic Skin Type	Mixed Type	Mediterranean Skin Type	Dark Skin Types	Black Skin Types
Black	4/5*4/5*3/4*1/2/3*X
Dark brown	4/5*4/5*3/4*1/2/3*X

Dark blond	4/5*4/5*3/4*1/2/3*X
Blond	X X X X X
Red	X X X X X
Grey & white	X X X X X

^* = applicable light intensity level X = not suitable

Long-term Hair Removal

A typical hair growth cycle can last between 18 and 24 months. In order to achieve a long-term hair removal, multiple sessions with this appliance may be necessary during this period. Depending on hair colour, the body site and how the appliance is being used, the effectiveness of the hair removal will vary from person to person.

Typical Application Plan during a Hair Growth Cycle:

Number of Sessions	Time Interval in Weeks
1-42
5-74
8+	As needed, until the desired results have been achieved

The Expected Results:

Fitzpatrick Skin Type	Hair Colour Anatomical Body Region Number		Number of Sessions Effectiveness*
I-IV	Light brown to brown	Upper or lower legs	Around 10 to 12 with 4 weeks between the sessions	60 % Decrease of the hair growth
		Arms		50 % Decrease of the hair growth
		Bikini zone		60 % Decrease of the hair growth
		Armpit		55 % Decrease of the hair growth
I-IV	Brown to black	Upper or lower legs	Around 8 to 10 with 4 weeks between the sessions	60 % Decrease of the hair growth
		Arms		50 % Decrease of the hair growth
		Bikini zone		60 % Decrease of the hair growth
		Armpit		55 % Decrease of the hair growth

* (% of hair removal / renewed hair growth)

- The response is individual, depends on the hair type and biological factors, and may affect renewed hair growth. Some people show a result sooner or only at a later time.

• After one to two sessions a permanent decrease of hair growth cannot yet be expected. Furthermore, the inactivity of the hair follicles varies depending on the body site.

Application Instructions for Safe Use

- Carefully Select the Intensity Level of the Light Flashes

The intensity level refers to the intensity of the emitted light flashes during use, from the lowest to the highest level. The indicator lamps next to the level display (5) show the intensity level that has been set. Higher intensity levels improve the results, but also the resulting risks and side effects. (See page 82 "Possible Side Effects")

• Always Start the Application on the Lowest Intensity Level

Only increase the intensity level for the next application by one step if you experience little or no discomfort during or after use of the appliance while having set the lowest intensity level. However, also note the indicated intensity level in the table on hair colours and skin types.

- Avoiding Side Effects

• Do not use the appliance multiple times at the same skin area during one session!
• Avoid overlapping light flashes!
• Immediately stop the usage when your skin shows blisters or burns!

- Avoid Complications After Use

- Do not expose the skin to the sun after the application. This also applies to tanning with artificial light (Solarium).

The exposure to the sun involves a continuously unprotected solar radiation for 15 minutes. And a constantly unprotected solar radiation of diffuse sunlight for more than one hour. In order to protect the treated skin against sunlight, apply a sunscreen with a sun protection factor that is equal or higher than SPF 30 for 2 weeks after each use of the appliance.

• Do not use the appliance within 24 hours before or after visiting a sauna or swimming pool. The chlorine could lead to skin irritation.
• Cover birthmarks and tattoos before starting the application.
• Cover dark brown or black spots such as freckles, moles or warts before starting the application.
• Never look directly into the light flash! Always wear the supplied safety glasses when applying.
• Do not use the appliance in the region of the nipples, anus or genitals (male or female).

• Do not use the appliance at body sites where you might want to be hairy later.

• Do not use the appliance for any other than the intended purpose.

• Always ensure that the skin contact surface is in full contact with the skin.
• Remove the appliance from the skin if either the skin contact surface or the skin feels hot.

What You May Expect when Using the Appliance

Perhaps for many users it is the first experience with a light-based hair removal appliance that has been developed for domestic use. The appliance is easy to use and hair removal sessions are hardly time-consuming. It is normal that you perceive the following during a session with this appliance:

- Light Flash

A light flash may be visible when using the appliance. Therefore, always wear the supplied safety glasses when applying.

- Noise of the Fan

The built-in cooling fan of the appliance makes a sound that is similar to a hair dryer. This is normal.

- Popping Sound with Every Light Flash

It is normal that you hear a popping sound at the same time as the light flash is triggered.

- Slight Imprint of the Light Flash Outlet Window

This is necessary and useful, and a part of the appliance's safety feature to ensure the placement of the adjacent light flashes.

• A Sense of Warmth and Tingling

During each light flash it is normal that you experience a slight feeling of warmth and tingling. Remember that it is important to always use a low power level for the first hair removal sessions. There may be times when you feel certain warmth up to one hour after the application.

- Slightly Red or Pink Skin Colour

During or directly after a session, it is not uncommon to note a very slightly pinkish colouration of the skin. This pink colour is usually visible around the region of the hair itself. However, if your skin is completely red or blistering and burns occur, stop using the appliance immediately.

Before Use

WARNING:

Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol (including fragrances, disinfectants or other alcoholic substances) or acetone to clean the skin before using the appliance.

• Shave the skin at the location you want to use the appliance. The hair must not be removed with wax or ripped out in any kind. The shave is an important prerequisite for the desired result.
• For best results, shave the region 3 days prior to application or when the hair has a length of 1 to 2 mm.
• The skin should be clean, dry and free of any antiperspirant or deodorant.

Performing a Skin Compatibility Test

The skin compatibility test is designed to determine how your skin responds to the treatment with the appliance. Furthermore it aids in adjusting the optimal power level preference for each treatment area.

Perform a skin compatibility test on each skin area you would like to treat 48 hours before the full treatment.

WARNING:

Always wear the safety glasses when performing a skin compatibility test!

1. Proceed as described in chapter "Use of the Appliance" point 1 to 4.

2. Start with the lowest intensity level.

3. Place the skin support surface onto the desired test location on the skin.
4. Proceed as described in chapter "Use of the Appliance" point 6 to 8.
5. Continue the test with the next higher intensity level on another test location on the skin. However, also note the indicated intensity level in the table on hair colours and skin types.
6. Repeat the skin compatibility test for each body region in which you want to use the appliance.
7. If you don't experience any discomfort within 48 hours, you may start the application with the last selected intensity level.

Use of the Appliance

WARNING:

• Perform a skin compatibility test before using the appliance.
  • Always wear the safety glasses when applying!

NOTE:

The appliance is equipped with a built-in safety mechanism. This prevents, if the skin contact surface is not fully placed on the skin, the generation of a light flash when pressing the release button.
