1. Before you start
2. Warnings and Safety information
When used properly the Boots Smooth
Skin sytem will give excellent results in the
permanent reduction of hair. It is a powerful
system and needs to be used properly. It is not
suitable for everyone and you should read
the instructions fully before starting use to
check whether it is suitable for you.
1. Please make sure you also read the warning
and safety information on pages 6 – 8.
2. The Skin Tone chart on page 2 should
be used as a guide to identify if the Boots
Smooth Skin system is suitable for use on
your skin and which Skin Tone setting you
will need to use to obtain the best results.
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. Always conduct a new
patch test before using the Boots Smooth
Skin system on different areas of the body.
The Boots Smooth Skin system is not suitable for
everyone.
Check the following warnings on pages 6 – 8
carefully to check it is suitable for you.
Always keep these instructions handy for
future reference.
Incorrect use can lead to serious skin injury.
Remember to use an SPF30 fragrance-free
sun lotion on the treated area after 24 hours for
at least 2 weeks.
Skin type
WARnInG do noT USE;
• If the skin to be treated is darker than the
dark skin tone setting.
• If you have a parent or grandparent who is
naturally dark skinned, for example of Indian,
Pakistani, Black Caribbean, Black African or
Bangladeshi descent, even if your skin tone is
Fair, Medium or Dark on the Skin Tone chart.
Darker skin tones absorb too much light
during treatment which may cause serious
skin injury.
• The technology used in the Boots Smooth
Skin system is based on that used in
professional IPL equipment. Professional
clinics offering IPL treatments use very
sophisticated and expensive equipment with
special power settings, light filtering systems
and cooling programmes to enable safe
treatment of all skin types including very
sensitive and darker skin types that are
usually extremely prone to photosensitivity.
Please read the information on page 2 and
section 1 and 2 of this user guide very carefully
before starting a treatment.
• On areas that have been fake or naturally
tanned in the last 30 days.
Tanned or fake-tanned skin
do noT use on areas of skin where a fake tan
has been applied within the last 30 days.
do noT use if you have been sunbathing or
using a tanning bed in the last 30 days.
do noT expose treated areas to the sun for
at least 24 hours.
