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 underneath AND on the sides
of the handset.
When the handset is correctly positioned, and both safety bars are in contact with the skin
the trigger button on the handset will glow white.
If the trigger button does not glow white this either means you need to apply more gel or
both safety bars 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, see section
5 Possible adverse reaction.
Move the handset to the next area to be
treated. You will need to wait for a few
seconds for the unit to recharge before
it is ready to trigger again. The skin tone
setting light on the base unit will flash to
show that the unit is recharging.
Once the unit has recharged and the
handset has been correctly positioned on the
next area of gel covered skin to be treated,
the light on the handset will come on.
During treatment wipe away any build up
of gel from the handset with a tissue or cloth.
After completing a treatment or moving to
a new treatment area put the Boots Smooth
Skin
PLUS
back into standby mode by pressing
and holding the skin tone selector button for
three seconds. 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 26 for future reference.
Note that up to twelve weekly treatments
may be required for a full treatment to
be completed.
