7. Before you start
STEP 1: Check whether the beurer Velvet Skin Pro is suitable for you
WARNING
Before using the beurer Velvet Skin Pro for the first time, check whether the device is suitable for you.
To check whether the beurer Velvet Skin Pro is suitable for you, read Chapter “4. Warnings and safety
notes” and determine which light intensities are best suited to your skin and your body hair and whether
this method is suitable for you to use at all (if not, this is marked by an ‘x’ in the chart) on the basis of
the “Hair and skin colour chart” on the back page of these instructions for use.
STEP 2: Skin sensitivity test
WARNING
Perform a skin sensitivity test before using the beurer Velvet Skin Pro.
The aim of the skin sensitivity test is to determine how your skin reacts to treatment using the beurer
Velvet Skin Pro. Furthermore, it helps you to set the optimum energy level for each treatment zone.
Perform a skin sensitivity test on every area of skin that you would like to treat
48 hours
prior to the
complete treatment.
Note
In the case of facial treatment, the skin sensitivity test should be performed on an area without hair,
such as below the ear or on the side of the neck.
1. Before the treatment, ensure that the skin is shaved, clean and dry (free from any residue such as
powder, cream, make-up, antiperspirant or deodorant).
WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you clean the skin with flammable liquids such as alcohol
or acetone shortly before using the beurer Velvet Skin Pro.
2. Set up the device as described in Chapter 8.1 “Starting treatment” under points 2 to 5.
3. Place the light area of the device on the desired test area and make sure it is in full contact with the
skin.
