6. Aftercare
7. Cleaning the Boots Smooth Skin system
Avoid exposing a treated area to the sun for
24 hours and then apply a fragrance-free
SPF30 sun lotion to the area. Continue to
protect the skin with SPF30 throughout
the treatment and for 2 weeks after
each treatment.
After treatment has started you should:
• Keep area clean and dry
• Drink lots of water to keep skin hydrated
do noT
• handle the treated area roughly
• take hot baths, showers, or use steam rooms
and saunas for 24 hours after treatment.
However, you can take a cool shower or wash
with cool water
• swim for 24 hours after treatment
• take part in contact sports for 24 hours
after treatment
• wear tight fitting clothing over the
treated area
• sunbathe, use a sunbed or fake tan during the
treatment and for at least 2 weeks after the
last treatment
• depilate (waxing, plucking, threading or
creams) during the treatment—shaving is
acceptable as long as you avoid shaving for
24 hours after each treatment
• use bleaching creams or perfumed products
for 24 hours after treatment
• scratch or pick at the treated area
Any of the above may cause hypersensitivity in
the treated areas.
For best results the handset of the Boots
Smooth Skin system should be regularly cleaned
during use to prevent the build up of gel and
the whole system inspected and cleaned after
each treatment.
Before cleaning, the Boots Smooth Skin system
must be disconnected from the mains supply.
Clean the outside of the unit and handset
using a damp, not wet, cloth and dry thoroughly
before using.
do noT
• immerse in water
• use petroleum based or flammable cleaning
agents because of the risk of fire
• use abrasive cleaning agents
The handset cradle can be removed from the
base unit and cleaned separately but must
be dried thoroughly before being refitted.
Take care not to scratch or chip the glass
block on the handset as scratches and chips
can reduce the effectiveness of the unit.
If the glass block is cracked or broken the unit
must not be used.
