Before First Use
Charge your device fully for 2 hours before your first use. Only use a 5V adapter or computer USB port (avoid fast chargers as they can damage the battery).
We highly recommend users perform a light sensitivity test before their first use of the device.

Check your skin regularly over those 24 hours. If your skin appears red and/or itchy, the device is unsuitable for you. In case of sensitivity to the light, please contact customer support at support@mysolawave.com.

We recommend starting out at 12 minutes per day for the first few days. As your skin acclimates, you can use it for longer and as frequently as desired for up to 30 minutes per day. Always be mindful of how your skin reacts to beauty devices, and decrease usage if redness or irritation occur.
