Depending on the intensity level that you decide upon according to the colour of your s in and
the colour of your body hair, always use the lower level when you use the appliance for the first
time.
Example 1: if your phototype indicates a 3-4 setting intensity, set the appliance to level 3
for the 1st session. If you don’t feel any unpleasantness, you can increase the intensity to
po er level 4 for the remaining sessions.
Example 2: if your phototype indicates a 3-4-5 setting intensity, set the appliance to level
3 for the 1st session. If you don’t feel any unpleasantness, you can increase the intensity
to po er level 4 for the 2nd session. If you don’t feel any unpleasantness, you can increase
the intensity to po er level 5 for all the follo ing sessions.
Nevertheless, if you feel the slightest pain, reduce the intensity level until the session becomes
comfortable. In this case, it may be necessary to do an extra 1 or 2 sessions to get the best
result.
Don’t forget to do a tolerance test by emitting a light pulse on to your skin at least 24
hours before treatment, at level 1 intensity (the area being flashed must be shaved
beforehand).
IMPORTA T! DO OT USE THIS APPLIA CE:
Until you have read the warnings and safety instructions in the health warnings
section of this manual.
- If the skin that you are treating is darker than the phototype V illustrated in the
table for different skin types.
- On parts which are exposed to the sun, UV rays or which have been treated with
self-tanning lotion or spray over the last 30 days.
Warning: do not apply cosmetics before and during the treatment. It could cause red
patches or burns.

•Skin colour
DERMA PERFECT gets rid of unwanted hairs by selectively attacking the pigments in
the stem of the hair. The quantity of pigments in the skin of any one person will
determine its colour, but also the level of risk to which he or she is exposed when using
a method of epilation using light, irrespective of whatever method it is.
The treatment of s in which is too dar using this type of technology can cause side effects such
as burns, blisters or changes in s in colour after healing (hyper or hypopigmentation).
DERMA PERFECT has been designed with a colour Sensor which chec s the colour of the s in
being treated at the beginning of each session and during use. The purpose of this Sensor is to
chec that the energy is only administered to suitable types of s in. The pulsed light is impeded
when the s in is too dar .
•Body hair colour
The appliance is also ineffective on white and grey hairs or if the natural colour of your hair is
red or light blond. If your body hair is one of these colours, it is possible that DERMA PERFECT
is not suitable for you.
