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.
To find out whether the appliance is compatible with your skin/body hair colour, please
refer to the skin/ body hair colour table (located on page 2 and 14).

5.3. Setting the power level for the appliance
DERMA PERFECT has 5 intensity levels ranging from 1 (the wea est) to 5 (the strongest),
represented by 3 energy level lights:
Level 1 : (the wea est): the light on the left is permanently on.
Level 2 : the left light is on and the one in the centre is flashing.
Level 3 : the two lights: on the left and in the centre are on.
Level 4 : lthe two lights: on the left and in the centre are on and the one
on the right is flashing.
Level 5 : (the strongest): the 3 lights are permanently on.
When the appliance is functioning, its intensity level will automatically default to the wea est
intensity. Only one POWER LIGHT will be on.
To set the light to the required intensity, either stronger or wea er, press the Power Selector by
pressing either “+” or “- “ until the Light corresponding to the intensity you require comes on.
In order to find out the intensity level which suits your phototype, please refer to the following
questionnaire for determining the type of s in / body hair:

To help you determine the colour of your body hair, take the natural colour of your hair
as a reference.
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 are using 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 treating at level 1 intensity (the area being flashed must be shaved
beforehand).
5.4. Disposable lamp (EP9860)
The DERMA PERFECT Disposable Lamp has a 5,000 pulse capacity (irrespective of the intensity
level used).
The intensity of the pulses is determined only by the setting of the power level of the appliance.
There is no drop in energy level throughout the whole lifespan of the lamp. When this lamp has
reached 95% of its lifespan, the LED which indicates the condition of the Lamp will start
flashing on the control panel to warn you that the lamp soon needs to be replaced. This flashing
will slow down as the lamp reaches the end of its life.
Once the disposable lamp has emitted 5,000 pulses, the LED which indicates the condition of
the Lamp will come on and stay on, warning you that no more pulses are possible. If you want
to continue with the epilation you must replace the disposable Lamp while ensuring removal of
the Pro Precision System beforehand if you were in the process of using it. .
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.
