Bikini line
Check the skin tone of the area you’re
treating using the Skin Tone chart on
page 2 and the Electronic Skin Tone Sensor.
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
.
One useful tip is to use white cotton
underwear or a g-string as a guide to
show you the line to follow.
Start from the edge of the hair growth
and work towards areas where the hair
is denser.
Avoid overlapping treatments. If necessary
use a cooling gel pack, kept in the fridge
and not frozen, to cool the area after
treatment.
DO NOT use dark coloured underwear
because this may absorb some of the
energy from the light pulse.
DO NOT treat the delicate, highly sensitive
areas such as the inner area of the vagina
(known as the Labia Minora) as this is a
mucous membrane and treatment will
cause a serious adverse reaction.
DO NOT treat directly on the anus as
this is also a mucous membrane and
treatment to this area can cause a
serious adverse reaction.
Back
Check the skin tone of the area you’re
treating using the Skin Tone chart on
page 2 and the Electronic Skin Tone Sensor.
Backs can be treated, but the treatment
will require the help of another person to
ensure correct coverage and prevent any
area receiving overlapping treatments.
It is often useful to mark out the area to
be treated with gridlines using a very thin
white eyeliner pencil. It is best to work in
‘zones’ to avoid missing areas.
Care should be taken when treating
bony areas because the bone is close
to the skin’s surface making the skin
more sensitive.
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
.
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.
The lower arm is often exposed to the sun
so it is very important to check the skin
tone of both the upper and lower arm and
make sure you set the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
to the darker, skin tone setting.
Arms, and particularly the lower arms, are
often tanned and may be sun-damaged.
You should wait 30 days after the last
exposure to the sun before treatment.
If required, mark out the areas to
be treated using a very thin white
eyeliner pencil.
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 treat around the elbow or wrist
but care should be taken when treating
bony areas because the bone is close to
the skin’s surface making it more sensitive.
