To determine if you have any reaction to
the light pulse or the Activator Gel you
need to complete a patch test at least
48 hours before treatment but you must
avoid treating the patch tested area of
skin for at least 1 week.
To start using the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system prepare an area of skin for the
treatment as described on page 11.
Using the Skin Tone chart on page 2 and
the Electronic Skin Tone Sensor, select the
skin tone that best matches your skin tone
and set the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system
to your selected skin tone I, II, III or IIII. Dark
skin absorbs more light than fair, so the IIII
setting is the gentlest setting. If you’re not
sure which setting matches your skin tone
always use a darker, gentler setting.

Once the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system
has been set up as described in section 3,
the unit will be in STANDBY mode with all
four lights flashing every two seconds.
On the base unit, press and hold the
selector button for three seconds.
Momentarily press the selector button
again to choose between the different
skin tone settings, IIII then III then II then
I then IIII then III etc.
Treat one area of the body at a time
e.g. underarms, upper or lower legs and
stop using if it becomes uncomfortable.
Using your fingers or a spatula, cover the
area of skin to be treated with a thick layer
of cooled Activator Gel. Only apply to a
small treatment area each time to prevent
the gel being accidentally wiped off or
drying before treatment. If the gel starts
to dry out before you treat an area, it
MUST be reapplied before treatment.
DO NOT rub the gel into your skin, not
using enough gel may result in a serious
adverse reaction.
At the end of a treatment cycle put the
Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
back into standby
mode by pressing and holding the skin
tone selector button for three seconds.
Alternatively, the unit will go into standby
mode if it is not used for three minutes.
