Under arms
Check the skin tone of the area you’re
treating using the Skin Tone chart on
page 2 and the Electronic Skin Tone Sensor.
This is probably one of the easiest areas to
start using the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system
and to learn how it works.
Some parts of the underarm can be
sensitive, especially in the centre where hair
growth is thickest.
Prepare the treatment area as described on
page 11 and remember to use a thick layer
of cooled Activator Gel before using the
Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
.
Start by treating the hairs furthest from the
centre of the underarm area, closest to
the elbow, and move steadily towards the
breast as shown, moving in straight lines
and taking care not to treat any area
more than once.
DO NOT use underarm deodorant for at
least 24 hours after treatment.
Legs
Check the skin tone of the area you’re
treating using the Skin Tone chart on page 2
and the Electronic Skin Tone Sensor.
The lower leg is often subject to tanning so
the skin tone may change between the
lower and upper area of your leg. Take care
to check the skin tone over the whole leg
before starting every treatment.
Prepare the treatment area as described on
page 11 and remember to use a thick layer
of cooled Activator Gel before using the
Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
.
You can work either up and down the
leg or across and round the leg but we
recommend you consistently use one
method whichever is easiest for you.
You may also notice that bony areas,
the shin and ankle, are more sensitive.
Knees are better treated with the leg
held out straight and not bent.
For more difficult areas you may require
the help of another person to ensure
correct coverage and prevent any
area receiving overlapping treatments.
