Before using the Boots Smooth Skin system you
should have completed a Patch Test at least 48
hours previously to determine any sensitivity to
the Activator Gel or the light pulse (page 10).
To start using the Boots Smooth Skin system
prepare an area of skin for the treatment as
described on page 10.
Using the Skin Tone chart on page 2, select the
skin tone that best matches your skin colour
and set the Boots Smooth Skin system to your
selected skin tone—Fair, Medium or Dark. Dark
skin absorbs more light than Fair, so the Dark
setting is the gentlest setting. If you’re not sure
which setting matches your skin tone always
use a darker, gentler setting.
Treat one area of the body at a time
e.g. underarms, upper or lower legs and stop
using if it becomes uncomfortable.
Once the Smooth Skin system has been set up
as described in section 3, the ‘STANDBY’ light
on the base unit should be lit together with the
default skin type indicator ‘DARK’.
On the base unit, press and release the skin type
selection button to toggle between the three
different skin type settings, keep pressing until
it matches your skin type.
Using your fingers or a spatula, cover the
area of skin to be treated with a thick layer
of cooled Activator Gel. Only apply to a small
treatment area each time to prevent the
gel being accidentally wiped off or drying
before treatment. If the gel starts to dry out
before you treat an area, it MUST be reapplied
before treatment.
Dry your hands and press the STANDBY/ READY
button to switch the unit from STANDBY to
READY mode. The unit will take up to 10 seconds
to charge; the READY light will flash during this
time and will then glow constantly once the unit
is ready to use.
