Always Do a Preliminary Test First!

I strongly advise you to do a preliminary test before going in with the Sensilight Pro for a large treatment area to determine your skin’s reaction to the device and to pick the best energy level. Perform the preliminary test on each area of treatment 48 hours before the first full use.

I can’t stress the importance of preliminary testing enough. The last thing you want to experience is a severe reaction, which could result in a trip to the doctor and unbearable pain, irritation, swelling, and discomfort. If you want to get all these potential problems out of the way, perform a preliminary test for safety and peace of mind. 

When preliminary test, follow these steps: 

Step 1 – Use the energy recommendation button to detect the optimal energy level for each area you intended to treat. Make sure you’re fully comfortable with this energy level before continuing. 

Step 2 – Otherwise, begin from the lowest energy level. Deliver a pulse on the selected area and continue like this for a few seconds, gradually increasing one energy level at a time for as long as it feels comfortable.

Step 3 – Should you find a particular energy level uncomfortable or experience adverse effects such as severe redness or blistering, stop the test immediately.

Step 4 – Wait 48 hours to examine the areas. If your skin appears normal or if there’s a mild response (mild redness), you’re safe to proceed with a complete treatment at the highest comfortable energy level tested. Say there’s an adverse reaction, even on the lowest energy settings, avoid using the device. 

Prep Your Skin

To prepare your skin for any IPL hair removal device, remove all jewellery and that the hair in your desired treatment area is trimmed or saved. The skin should be free from any residue of skincare products, makeup, powders, antiperspirants or deodorants. In between treatments, you’re allowed to shave, but not wax or pluck the hair.

Refrain from using flammable liquids like alcohol or acetone to cleanse the skin for an hour before use, as it could cause skin burns.

How to Use Sensica Sensilight Pro?

Once your skin is prepped as instructed above, follow the steps bellow:

Step 1 – Turn on the device and choose an energy level manually or use the energy recommendation setting.

Step 2 – Place the Sensilight Pro treatment window on the intended treatment area, make sure it’s in full contact with the skin.

Step 3 – Press the trigger button to release a single light pulse. Slowly move the device from one spot to another following each pulse.

Step 4 – You can either release the pulses manually or opt for the glide mode. To use the glide mode, begin the treatment in the standard pulse mode. After 3 consecutive pulses without releasing the trigger button, the device will automatically go into glide mode, releasing continuous pulses every 1-3 seconds, provided there’s proper contact with the skin and the skin tone is suitable for IPL usage. The glide mode will automatically disable when the device isn’t in full contact with the skin.

Step 5 – Finish the treatment and turn off the device.

During the hair removal treatment, try not to overlap pulses, because repeated overlapping could lead to burning through overexposure. Besides, avoid treating the same area of skin more than once per treatment otherwise it could cause irritation. 

For body hair, the first 1-4 hair removal treatments should be about 2 weeks apart. The next 5-7 hair removal treatments should be 4 weeks apart.

For facial hair, the first 1-5 hair removal treatments should be around 2 weeks apart. The next 6-8 hair removal treatments should be 4 weeks apart. Continue the treatments for about 8 times until you achieve your desired results
