How to use summary
This is a summary and a memory aid and not
a replacement for the full instructions—which
you need to read fully.
Keep these instructions, you may need to refer
to them in the future.
The Boots Smooth Skin system is not suitable
for everyone.
1. Ensure your skin type is suitable by reading
the Warnings and Safety Information on
pages 6 – 8 of these instructions before using.
2. Assess your skin tone of the area you wish to
treat using the Skin Tone chart on page 2.
3. Remember to patch test a small area of
skin (see section 3, page 10) and wait for
48 hours to ensure no adverse reactions
occur in this time.
4. Shave or trim the area to be treated.
5. Turn on and press the skin tone button to
choose your correct skin tone. The gentlest
setting is Dark, then Medium, then Fair.
If in doubt choose a darker setting.
6. Always apply a thick layer of refrigerated
Activator Gel to the area to be treated. DO
NOT rub the gel into the skin. The Gel will
help minimise any discomfort and also aid in
showing the areas treated.
7. Press ‘Ready’. After 6 seconds the flashing
red light will stop and remain on constantly.
8. Hold handset to the skin. The trigger button
will turn red to indicate correct positioning
on the skin.
