Braun Gilette Venus Naked Skin 6028 Series, User Manual

Facial Treatment (women only) 

Using Venus Naked Skin

®

 to remove 

unwanted facial hair requires care and 
special guidance to prevent any possible 
adverse reaction.  It is recommended 
that before treating the face, other body 
areas are treated first. 

Avoid tanning including outdoor sun 

bathing, tanning treatments in a salon 
before and during treatment, or use of 
a tanning lotion or cream before and 
during treatment as the device may not 
work for you. Further, darker skin may 
absorb too much light energy, which may 
cause discomfort/pain.

IMPORTANT:

•   Do not treat the eyebrows or areas 

around the eyes, the scalp, the 
nostrils, the ears. 

•   Do not use on moles or any dark 

(pigmented) areas.

Before Treatment

1.  Determine if the face may be treated, 

by using the skin color chart and the 
skin tone sensor. Because the face is 
unavoidably  exposed to sunlight, it 
may be darker than other body areas. 

2.  Perform a patch test: test your skin 

for reaction in a hair-free area below 
the ear (see chapter titled “Patch 

Test”).

3.  After this patch test, wait 48 hours, 

examine the treated area and if it 
appears normal, begin treating the 
upper lip, chin or jaw.

Getting started

1.  Remove all cosmetics, lotions and 

creams (including self tanning) from 
the area you wish to treat.

2.  Remove any visible hair.

3.  Use the skin tone sensor to confirm 

suitability for treatment.  Do NOT use if 
the skin tone sensor indicates red (IIIII).  

Always start with the lowest setting 
when using on the face, regardless of 

the skin tone sensor reading. This may 
require you to manually reduce the 
energy level to the lowest setting (IIII) 
if you are a lighter skin tone (I-III). Do 
this by pressing the white button on 
the skin tone sensor until the lowest 
setting is lit (IIII).

Treating the face, cheek and jaw

1.  Apply a thick layer of Activating 

Gel to the area to be treated (see 
illustration below).

2.  Wipe excess gel from your hands.

3.  You may choose to use a mirror to 

help position the handset for treating 
facial areas.

4.  Select a spot on the edge of the 

treatment zone. Place handset firmly 
on the skin so that both contact bars 
on the outer corners of the treatment 
window are placed in the Activation 
Gel that is on the skin surface. The 
white light of the Activation button 
signals you have the proper contact. 
If the white light does not appear, be 
sure to adjust the handset so that both 
bars remain in contact with the skin.

IMPORTANT:

Before pressing the activation button, 
close your eyes or look away as the 
light is very bright.

5.  Press the Activation button. 

You may feel a warm sensation.

5.   Remove the handset from your skin. 

The two contact bars and treatment 
window will leave marks in the 
Activating Gel to help track your 
treatment progress.

6.  Venus Naked Skin

®

 should be used 

on the skin in continuous rows. Your 
next selected treatment spot should be 
adjacent to the previous. There should 
be no gaps between treatment areas. 
When placing the handset onto the gel 
on your skin, the edge of the treatment 
window and the two contact bars should 
line up with the marks from the previous 
treatment area.

WARNING:

DO NOT discharge the device on the 
same site more than once to avoid 
possible adverse skin effect. If your skin 
blisters or burns, STOP IMMEDIATELY. 
Soothe the area with cooling gel packs. 
Seek medical advice immediately. 

7.   You will need to wait approximately 

4 – 6 seconds for the unit to recharge 
before it is ready to activate again. 
The Skin Tone Sensor button flashes 
to show the unit is recharging. When 
the light glows WHITE constantly, 
it’s ready for use again. Repeat 
the process above until you are 
finished treating the treatment area. 
Periodically wipe the treatment 
window to ensure it is clean and free 
of any debris.

SLEEP Mode Timeout

•   When the unit is left “inactive” 

(i.e., no buttons are pushed or the 
Skin Tone Sensor is not removed/
replaced) for 55 minutes, then the 
unit will enter a low power SLEEP 
mode.

•   In SLEEP mode, all the lights are off

except for the RED Skin Tone 
Sensor button which will make a 
single flash once every 3 seconds. 
You must take a skin tone reading 
to get out of SLEEP mode.

8.   When you have finished treating 

an area, wipe away any excess 
Activating Gel from the handset and 
the area you have treated. Place the 
handset back on the base unit.

9.   Check the treated area to see if you 

develop any skin reactions. If you 
experience a side effect, refer to page 
29 in this user guide.
