to your eyes. Take care to follow the safety
precautions below.
The Handset can only be activated (flashed) if the
Skin Tone Sensor (next to the Treatment Window)

of the Handset when the system has electrical
power and is switched on.

DO NOT attempt to activate (flash) the system
towards the eye.
DO NOT treat areas around the eye
(eyebrows or eyelashes).
ONLY attempt to activate (flash) the system when
the front of the Handset is in good contact with
the area you wish to treat.
WE RECOMMEND you look away from the
Handset when firing onto your skin.

As with any electrical device, certain precautions
must be taken in order to ensure your safety.
DO NOT try to open the SMOOTHSKIN BARE,
as this may expose you to dangerous electrical
components.

for example, cracked Handset, cable damage
(internal wires visible), cracked or broken glass on
the Handset, etc.. This may result in injury.
DO NOT USE near bathtubs, showers, basins or
other vessels containing water. If SMOOTHSKIN
BARE becomes wet, it should not be used.

on the area you wish to treat. Please wait 30
days after a skin peel before treating with the
SMOOTHSKIN BARE.
Treating tanned skin with Intense Pulsed Light
(IPL) may result in permanent Hyperpigmentation
(Darkening) or Hypopigmentation (lightening) of
the treated skin.
DO NOT USE If you have a known sensitivity
to sunlight (photosensitivity) or are taking
medication that makes the skin more sensitive and
causes photosensitivity, e.g. Retin A, Accutane
9
and/or other topical retinoids. Always check the
instruction leaflet that comes with your medicinal
product, to see if photosensitivity is listed as a
side eect. Use of the SMOOTHSKIN BARE on
photosensitive skin could result in skin damage
such as swelling or blisters.
The SMOOTHSKIN BARE should be kept out
of the reach of children under 18 years of age.
Children should not use, play with, maintain or
clean the device. There are a number of potential
risks – exposure to the light output causing burns
or eye damage, electrocution, strangulation from
the cables.
The SMOOTHSKIN BARE should be kept out of
reach of pets and pests which could damage the
device. Potential risks include reduced function
and electrocution.
The SMOOTHSKIN BARE is not intended for use
by persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities. Unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning safe and
proper use of the device by a person responsible
for their safety.

PRECAUTIONS
Hair removal by lasers or intense pulse light
sources can cause increased hair growth in some
individuals. Based upon currently available data,
the highest risk groups for this response are
females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and
South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.
DO NOT USE the SMOOTHSKIN BARE on any area
where you may want hair to grow back.
DO NOT USE the SMOOTHSKIN BARE device
on man’s face, jaw, or neck. The hair in a
man’s beard area is too dense, and using the
SMOOTHSKIN BARE device in these areas may
result in skin injury.
SMOOTHSKIN BARE is not recommended for use
on red, grey or blonde hair. The SMOOTHSKIN
