3. Connect the power cord to the FAUSTINA IPL system.
4. Place the FAUSTINA IPL system onto a table or area near an electrical outlet. Move away from any liquids from the area.
5. Make sure the lamp is installed correctly before turning on.
6. After connecting the power cord to the electrical outlet, status indicators (on both sides of the device) will start to flash slowly.
7. Press the power button for over 2 seconds to power on the device. After turning it on, you will hear the fan and see the LCD display turn on. The lamp type, remaining shots, energy level (default is level 1), thermometer icon and the fan icon will be shown and indicated on the LCD display on top of the device.

The status indicators will flash, meaning the device is ready to use. Once it’s ready, the indicators will go out. When the treatment window comes into skin contact, the indicator will turn blue which means the device is ready for emitting lights.

• Press the power button to adjust the energy level from low to high: level 1 is the lowest, and level 5 is the highest.
• Make sure the treatment window is placed firmly against the skin. (Figure 3)
• The device will power off automatically after 5 minutes of no activity.

Skin Sensitivity Test

If you’re using this system for the first time or on a new area on your body, choose a small area close to the area you intend to treat, for the purpose of performing a skin sensitivity test. Use the lowest FAUSTINA IPL level (1). Follow the treatment instructions below, but make sure to emit only 2-3 shots. After the skin test, wait for about 60 minutes and check your skin for any reactions. If after 60 minutes the skin appears normal and there is no redness or other skin reaction, then you are ready to perform a full treatment.

Energy Settings

Choose a suitable energy level according to your skin tolerance, and gradually increase the energy level from one to five. If there isn’t any intolerable pain or reaction of any kind, you can feel free to gradually increase the energy. Do not use the device on the exact same part of your skin by flashing multiple times. Doing so may cause too much heat, and may result in skin swelling, blisters, or temporary/permanent changes in the color of your skin. After each flash, slowly move the treatment window to a neighboring skin spot. Before returning to a previously treated skin spot, wait for at least 20 seconds.
