Indications for Use
The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) System is an over-the-counter device intended for the removal of unwanted body hair.
Device Story
The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) System is an over-the-counter, handheld device for permanent reduction of unwanted body hair. It utilizes a Xenon arc flashlamp to emit light pulses (510-1200nm) that are absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft; this energy converts to heat below the skin surface to disable hair follicles. The device is powered by an external adapter and operated by the user at home. Models feature either a touch chip for skin contact detection or a skin color sensor for tone recognition to ensure safety. Certain models include a cooling care function to mitigate heat on the skin. The device does not involve cutting or pulling. Users identify their skin tone via a provided table; the device prevents light emission if the skin tone is outside the safe range or if contact is insufficient. By breaking the hair re-growth cycle, the device provides hair removal benefits with minimal pain.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, photobiological safety, and biocompatibility testing.

### 4. Device description
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) System, models: T023K, T023B, T023C, T023D, T023E, T021K, T021A, T001A, T001B, T001M, T011C, T016K, are a small over-the-counter device for the permanent reduction of hair growth based on Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). It works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain. The device is only powered by the external power adapter and its IPL emission activation is by a switch or auto light emission.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) System, models: T023K, T023B, T023C, T023D, T023E, T021K, T021A, T001A, T001B, T001N, Contains a Xenon arc flashlamp, a touch chip to detect appropriate skin contact, and a skin color sensor to detect the skin color. In "Skin Color Recognition mode", the device's skin sensor automatically detects skin tone for your protection. If your skin tone is not in tone table for treatment, the device must not be used. You need to identify your skin tone before treatment according to skin tone table, and confirm whether the product is applicable to you after the skin color sensor detects a skin tone.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) System, models: T011C and T016K, contains a Xenon arc flashlamp, and a touch chip to detect appropriate skin contact. If the device is not properly applied to the treatment area (in full contact with the skin), the device cannot emit the treatment light pulses.
Based on the cooling technology, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) System, models: T023A, T023B, T023D, T023E, T021K, T021A, T011C, T016K, has cooling care functions. When the cooling care mode is enabled, it can reduce the excessive heat generated on the skin by the photon irradiation and do cooling compresses during hair removal.
The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) System includes main unit, an adaptor and goggles.
The device is intended to be used for adults aged over 18.
#### Principle of operation:
Hair has a growth cycle, which can be roughly divided into incubation period, growth period and decline period. The growth period hair has a complete structure such as hair follicles and hair shafts. The hair in the incubation period and the decline period does not have the hair follicle structure. The removal of excess hair is to take advantage of the characteristics of the anatomical structure of hair. The device based on the IPL technology emits a specific wavelength of the light and delivers the light to the skin. It is designed to help break the cycle of hair re-growth. Light energy is transferred through the skin's surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the hair shaft. The absorbed light energy is converted to heat energy below the surface of the skin, which disables the hair follicle preventing further growth. Therefore, the device achieves effective hair removal.

The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) System (Model: T023K, T023B, T023C, T023D, T023E, T021K, T021A, T001A, T001B, T001M, T011C, T016K) is an over-the-counter device intended for the removal of unwanted body hair.
