6. Aftercare
7. Cleaning the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system
Avoid exposing a treated area to the
sun for 24 hours and then apply a
fragrance-free SPF30+ sun lotion to the
area. Continue to protect the skin with
SPF30+ throughout the treatment and
for two weeks after each treatment.
After treatment has started you should:
• Keep area clean and dry
• Drink lots of water to keep skin hydrated
DO NOT
• handle the treated area roughly
• take hot baths, showers, or use steam
rooms and saunas for 24 hours after
treatment. However, you can take a
cool shower or wash with cool water
• swim for 24 hours after treatment
• take part in contact sports for 24 hours
after treatment
• wear tight fitting clothing over the
treated area
• sunbathe, use a sunbed or fake tan
during the treatment and for at least two
weeks after the last treatment
• depilate (waxing, plucking, threading or
creams) during the treatment—shaving
is acceptable as long as you avoid
shaving for 24 hours after each treatment
• use bleaching creams or perfumed
products for 24 hours after treatment
• scratch or pick at the treated area
Any of the above may cause
hypersensitivity in the treated areas.
For best results the handset of the Boots
Smooth Skin
PLUS
system should be regularly
cleaned during use to prevent the build up
of gel and the whole system inspected and
cleaned after each treatment.
Cleaning during use: Please ensure your
Electronic Skin Tone Sensor is clean, wipe
with a clean cloth as necessary.
It is important to remove excess gel from
the handset during use, to do this first put
the unit into STANDBY mode by pressing
and holding the skin tone selector button
for three seconds.
Wipe the gel off the handset with a clean
cloth or tissue taking care not to damage
the glass block or to get any gel into the air
vents on the handset.
To start using the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
again, press and hold the skin tone
selector button for three seconds, the unit
will then revert to the active mode.
Cleaning after use: Before cleaning, the
Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system must be
disconnected from the mains supply.
Clean the outside of the unit handset
and Electronic Skin Tone Sensor using a
damp, not wet, cloth and dry thoroughly
before using.
DO NOT
• immerse in water
• use petroleum based or flammable
cleaning agents because of the risk of fire
• use abrasive cleaning agents
Take care not to scratch or chip the glass
block on the handset as scratches and
chips can reduce the effectiveness of the
unit. If the glass block is cracked or broken
the unit must not be used.
