4. Using the Boots Smooth Skin system continued
Take the handset in one hand and place squarely on the skin over the area to be treated, making sure
you don’t cover the ventilation holes on the top of the handset.
When the handset is correctly positioned, and all four pins are in contact with the skin the trigger
button on the handset will glow red.
If the trigger button does not glow red this either means you need to apply more gel to the skin or all
the four pins are not in contact with the skin.
You are now ready to treat the area. Look away
from the handset to avoid the bright light and
press the trigger button. You will hear a click
and feel a warm sensation in the area being
treated. You may also see a localised redness in
the skin—this is normal.
Move the handset to the next area to be
treated. You will need to wait for approximately
6 seconds for the unit to recharge before it is
ready to trigger again. The ‘READY’ light flashes
to show the unit is recharging. When the light
glows constantly it’s ready for use again.
During treatment wipe away any build up of gel
from the handset with a tissue or cloth.
When you have finished treating an area press
the READY/ STANDBY button to put the unit
into STANDBY.
Use a tissue, towel or cloth to clean any excess
Activator Gel from the bottom of the handset
and the area you have treated and place the
handset back on the base unit.
Make a note of the date, the area you have
treated and the skin tone setting used, on the
treatment record card provided on page 24 for
future reference.
Note that up to 12 weekly treatments may be
required for a full treatment to be completed.
