4. Using the Boots Smooth Skin system continued
Advice for men
Treating the face, cheek and jaw.
The Boots Smooth Skin system can be used to
remove patches of hair that can appear high on
the cheek. Take care not to overlap treatments
because this can lead to skin irritation.
Please note: Treatment with the Boots Smooth
Skin system is usually permanent and complete
removal of the male beard is not advisable and
will produce changes in facial characteristics,
which may lead to a more feminine appearance.
Treating the neck
The Smooth Skin system can be used to reduce
the hair growth on the neck where shirt collars
rub and can lead to soreness following shaving.
Body
Check the skin tone of the area you’re treating
using the Skin Tone chart on page 2.
Unwanted hair growth in females can occur in
the centre of the chest, between the breasts,
and more commonly in areas around the
nipple area.
In males, unwanted hair growth is usually
more general across the chest but the same
techniques should be followed.
Take care when treating the area between the
breasts as the chest bone is close to the skin’s
surface and this area may be sensitive.
The upper chest area is often tanned and may
be sun-damaged and therefore you should use
the Skin Tone chart to re-asses the skin type
and adjust the skin tone setting on the Boots
Smooth Skin system base unit accordingly.
on the breast
Cover up all of the areola and nipple area using
a shield. White adhesive labels may be cut to
shape and used for this job.
do noT treat any of the dark skin.
With the nipple safely protected, the whole area
may be treated in rows placing the handset over
the protected area to ensure that all the hairs
are effectively treated.
