Before you no!no!
Get the best results and performance by learning as much as you can before you
no!no!. Below is a brief description about what to expect, what to look out for and how
each of the parts work.
• Track your progress! Before you use
no!no! the first time, study the area you
want to treat. You might even want to
take pictures or choose a small area
and count the hairs. Then, once every 2
weeks, check your progress. After 4-6
weeks, you should be able to see initial
results.
• Aroma therapy – no!no! burns hair and
burnt hair smells. But that’s how you
know its working. Try aromatic candles
or other air fresheners. An after
treatment cream or moisturizer like
no!no! Smooth will help mask the smell
even further. As less hair grows back,
the smell will also decrease.
• Test Run – Before you use no!no! the
first time, and before treating new
areas, always test no!no! on a small
section at the lowest treatment level.
• That feels weird –Some people
experience a mild tingling sensation
when they first use no!no!, especially
around sensitive areas. This sensation
will fade away completely after a few
treatments.
• For the sensitive type – If your skin
feels uncomfortable during treatment,
reduce the treatment level and/or take
short breaks after repeatedly gliding on
8

any one area.
• Keep it Smooth – When you finish your
treatment, apply a non-alcoholic lotion
or cream like no!no! Smooth to keep
your skin moisturized.
• Patience is a virtue – Initial results
take 4-6 weeks to appear.
• The first 4-6 weeks – For best results,
use no!no! at least 2-3 times a week for
the first 4-6 weeks. You don’t have to
wait for a lot of hair to grow back. Just
1mm of stubble is enough to get the
smooth results you are looking for.
• After the first 4-6 weeks – You may
have noticed that your hair isn’t growing
in as fast or as thick. You can reduce
the treatments to once or twice a week.
• Check the Thermicon™ Tips – Always
make sure the thermodynamic wire
is completely intact before use. If it is
bent or torn, replace it before your next
treatment.
• Clean the Thermicon™ Tips – Clean
the tips frequently during treatment
with the enclosed cleaning brush,
especially when working on long hair.
This will help prolong the life of your
Thermicon™ Tips.
• Stay Safe! Do not use no!no! on
sunburned skin, open cuts, bruises,
blisters, large moles or on raised areas
such as scars.
• Stay Smart! Do not use no!no! on the
genitals, nipples or on and around the
eye.
• Stay protected! Your no!no! warranty
lasts for one year on parts and service.
Keep your receipt.

Master the no!no! Glide
Crucial to the treatment is the no!no! Glide. To master this technique:
1. Hold no!no! at a
90º angle with the
rollers flat against
the skin.
2. Gently glide no!no! over each section against
the grain of hair growth, with the no!no! logo
in the front.
3. Always glide in a slow, steady, smooth, even motion in one direction. Do not stop in
one place.
16

4. Keep the blue light steady. If it flickers, you may be going too slowly, or too
quickly, adjust your speed accordingly.
5. You may need to go over an area more than once – but don’t over do it, 3-4
passes is enough. If there is more hair left, wait a few minutes and return
to that area if necessary.
6. Do not press down too hard with the device.
7. If you are treating facial hair, please see the Facial Tips section.
Important Note:
Do not be alarmed when the number of bars
change on the Status Screen. When you first
start to glide, the Status Screen will automatically
switch from the Treatment Level display (q) to
the Thermicon™ Tip status display (w).
Check the icon to determine what information is
being displayed.

Rounded areas
To work on more difficult areas, go slowly and allow
no!no! to follow the natural curve of the body. We
recommend mastering the glide on arms and legs before
moving on to the knees, elbows, face and bikini line.
NOTE: The bikini line may be extra-sensitive to temperature. If it becomes
uncomfortably warm during treatment, lower the treatment level or work on a
different area for a while. Do not go further than the bikini line.
Watch the Light
The signal light by the Thermicon
TM
Tip will guide you throughout your no!no!
treatment. It lets you know when you are working at the right speed and warns
you if the Thermicon™ Tip is torn, damaged or no longer working. The Signal Light
is only visible while you are gliding the no!no!.
18

When working at the right speed, the light will remain steady. If the light flickers,
adjust your speed accordingly.

Master the Buffer
You’ve tried everything but your skin still doesn’t feel smooth? Did you remember to
buff? Without buffing, crystallized hair remains in place, giving your skin a prickly
feel. These treated hairs will eventually fall out – but why wait? Buffing exfoliates
your skin, removes crystallized hair and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth.
To Buff:
1. Hold the Buffer by the flaps.
2. Firmly rub the buffer in either
a circular or back and forth
motion over the treated area.
