When used properly the
Boots Smooth
Skin
PLUS
system 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.
2 The skin tone chart on page 2 should be
used along with the Electronic Skin Tone
Sensor to identify if the Boots Smooth
Skin
PLUS
system is suitable for use on your
skin and which skin tone setting you will
need to use to obtain the best results.
If there is a difference between the skin
tone identified by the skin tone sensor
and the chart, you should always use
the darker of the two results because
this will deliver less energy into your skin.
3 Remember to patch test a small area
of skin (see section 3, page 11) 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
PLUS
system on different areas of the body.

WARNING DO NOT USE;
•
If the skin to be treated is darker than skin
tone IIII on the Skin Tone chart on page 2
•
If you have a parent or grandparent who is
naturally dark skinned (skin tone falls in the
DO NOT USE category on the skin tone chart)
even if your skin tone is type I, type II, type III

absorb too much light during treatment
which may cause serious skin injury
The technology used in the Boots
Smooth Skin
PLUS
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.
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 after treatment.
