Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. Preprocessing settings
Place the diode laser hair removal machine on a stable surface with a 30 cm airflow gap.
Connect the foot switch, handle and power cord; make sure the visible water window is at the “MAX” line.
Disinfect your phone’s sapphire window with 70% alcohol; check for cracks to avoid risk of burns.
2. Power-on self-test
Press and hold POWER for 3 seconds; the Android screen displays self-diagnosis for 15 seconds.
Select language and date/time – important for accurate therapy diary.
3. Select treatment mode
SHR STACK: Manual mode
SHR: automatic mode
HR: mature therapist model
4. Fitzpatrick skin type selection
Use the built-in skin type chart on 4K displays:
Type I-III: 20-24 J/cm², 20 Hz
Type IV-VI: 16-20 J/cm², 10-12 Hz
Always start conservatively; if there is no erythema, increase by 1 J/cm² per pulse.
5. Cooling verification
Activates TEC Sapphire Cooling; target skin temperature reaches 4 °C in 60 seconds.
Confirm airflow from the side vents – crucial for painless diode laser hair removal treatments.
6. Test Pulse and Customer Consent
Use clear ultrasound gel (optional) for extra glide.
Deliver 2-3 test pulses over the treatment area; ask the client to rate the level of discomfort.
7. Treatment Technique
Glide method: move hand-piece in slow, overlapping lines; avoid static stacking.
Spot size: 15×26 mm for legs; 15×18 mm for upper lip.
Speed: 1 cm/s; red alignment beam must stay in contact with skin.
Pulse count: underarm ≈ 120 shots; full legs ≈ 800 shots (20 Hz = 40 s).
8. Immediate Post-Care
Remove gel, apply aloe-vera gel with zinc.
Advise SPF 50, no hot yoga/sauna for 48 h.
Upload after-photo to cloud; schedule next session (4-6 weeks).
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Skipping test pulses – always patch-test, even if skin type looks familiar.
Overlapping too much – causes hot spots and post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.
Ignoring cooling – TEC must be ON; otherwise comfort drops and reviews suffer.
