To help you determine the colour of your body hair, take the natural colour of your hair
as a reference.
Depending on the intensity level that you decide upon according to the colour of your skin and
the colour of your body hair, always use the lower level when you are using the appliance for
the first time.
Example 1: if your phototype indicates a 3-4 setting intensity, set the appliance to level 3
for the 1st session. If you don’t feel any unpleasantness, you can increase the intensity to
power level 4 for the remaining sessions.
