1. Steam your face to open the pores. This can be done with a steamer, hot shower or hot/wet cloth on your face.
2. Dry your face off and begin using the Microdermabrasion Kit. Choose Oily, Normal or Dry mode based on your skin.
Be sure to use in sweeping/gliding motions. Don't just hold over an area as it may cause bruising.
3. Slight redness is normal, wash your face off with cold water to close up the pores when finished.

Oily skin is the strongest setting, while Dry skin is the lowest setting.
If you see a “bruise” or “hickey” after using the Lux Skin Microdermabrasion kit then this indicates that the vacuum/suction setting is too strong, you’ve overworked your skin or your skin is too sensitive. Please DON’T stay in one place more than 3 seconds, just slide up and down to prevent these from happening.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a modern type of laser hair removal used for permanent/long-term hair removal.
Light energy from IPL is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which then turns to heat and destroys the hair cells
There have been numerous worldwide studies that demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of IPL for hair removal. Due to this fact, it has become an extremely popular safe and effective method of hair removal at home and in clinics.
The actual session involves a series of laser pulses that results in a prickling and burning sensation. But don’t worry; the pain isn’t too bad. In fact, it’s similar to that of a rubber band snapping against your skin. After the laser hair removal session is over, you may experience temporary swelling and redness which is NORMAL and will go away.
No, it isn't necessary to wear eye protection while using our handset. Our handsets are fitted with a sensor and will not pulse and light unless the entire window is pressed against your skin. That being said you should never try and look directly into the light as it flashes
Most customers begin to notice a reduction of hair after just 3-4 treatments, with complete results after 12 treatments. However, results vary from person to person.
We recommend using your handset once a week for the first 12 weeks. After this period use your handset once a month, for 3 months or until satisfied. To maintain hairless smooth skin, use your handset once every 2 to 3 months, or as needed.
Our handsets have 300,000 flashes, which will last well over 10 years if used as directed.
Our handsets have an energy output of 4.9J/cm2 which means it is ideal for hair removal and is also approved for safe and effective at-home use.
You can use your handset on your entire body, including your Brazilian and face (just be sure to not get too close to your eyes).
Yes always SHAVE before use.
Don’t tweeze, pluck, or wax new hair growth!
You will need to leave the hair in their shafts in order for the laser to work on them. You can cut, trim, or shave hair as necessary.
Between treatments you should only shave when required. You should never wax, pluck, or epilate as these hair removal methods removes the entire root, which is what absorbs the light during the treatment.
No. This product is a once-off purchase. There is absolutely no need for replacements or refills.
IPL is suitable for all but the darkest skin tones. Refer to the skin tone chart below to see whether or not IPL is suitable for you.
IPL relies on melanin in the hair absorbing the light energy, and therefore IPL is not effective on very light blonde, red, or grey coloured hair.
Although there is no evidence showing that IPL has negative effects on pregnant or breastfeeding women, we still don’t recommend using our handset as a precaution.
You should not IPL over very dark freckles or moles, however light freckles are fine.
You should not IPL over tattoos. However, going around tattoos is fine.
Our handsets come with a 12V power supply.
Yes, our handsets come with a LIFETIME warranty.
Yes, this is completely normal. As the light energy is heating the hair, you may smell a slight burning but this just means there may be some hairs that have not been shaved. Please ensure that you have prepped the skin correctly, and that the skin is completely shaved before starting your session.
We recommend using a gentle, fragrance -free lotion after laster hair removal sessions. Some people opt for aloe vera due to its soothing properties. Either way, using a moisturizer while undergoing laser hair removal not only helps nurture your skin, but it also helps control the inflammation that ensues after each session.

After you laser hair removal treatment, it is recommended to stay out of the sun because of your skin’s increased vulnerability to UV rays.
You want your skin to be as light as possible during your treatments, so don’t go tanning or forget to wear sunscreen. Use a sunscreen with an SPF 50 or higher for two weeks before and after each treatment.
Artificial tan is fine after using our IPL.
But for sun tanning you should always wait 48 hours to tan after using your handset.
If you have recently been sun tanning, we recommend waiting 2-4 days before using your handset.
The same applies for sun beds. We advise removing all artificial tan before using our handsets, as the light energy may be more attracted to the pigments in the skin, rather than the melanin in the hair.
You can reapply the artificial tan after your session once the skin has relaxed.
As there is heat involved, slight blackening on/around the light window is normal and will not affect your handset, how it works or the results at all.

In a perfect world, package deliveries arrive on time without any issues. But, in some cases, delays occur and here are the reasons why:
- Failed delivery attempts – This occurs if there was no one there to receive the package or if the address is misspelt, incomplete or outdated. Usually, couriers make 2 or 3 attempts to deliver your package, but on different days. After these attempts, your package will most likely be stored in the courier’s warehouse for 5-7 days. Please contact your local post office immediately to track it down. If your package has already been sent back to us, simply Contact Us so we can resend it.
- Delay caused by customs – International shipments are held up in customs to check that the contents and value of the package were declared accurately. Your tracking status will update soon after your package has been cleared and released. For updates, you may also contact your local post office or delivery service provider since a local tracking number may be provided to you for possible additional tracking events.
- Marked as undeliverable – This happens if the courier has no access to the delivery location. Your package will then be sent back to us. If this is the case, Contact Us right away so we can resend your package.
- Lost packages – One of the worst case scenarios why your package can get delayed is because it got lost along the way. Please contact first your local post office for updates. If you haven’t received it yet, Contact Us and we’ll do our best to help.
- Weather conditions – Bad weather can block the roads or slow down the transit and cause a delayed delivery. Keep following up with your local post office to track the movement of your order.

If your order shows the 1st tracking scan, but has since not updated, then don't panic - the gap between the 1st and 2nd scan is 90% of the transit time. This does not mean your order is delayed :)
