WHAT TO EXPECT
Immediately post treatment, you should not see any significant side eects from treatment
(Refer to Section 4 for more information on side eects).
In the first few weeks following the initial treatments, you will still see some hairs growing. These are
likely to be hairs that were missed during treatment i.e. they were lying dormant and not in their growth
phase (Anagen) during treatment; when IPL is most eective.
Around 6 weeks into the 12 week treatment programme you should see a reduction in hair growth.
However, many hairs may still not have been treated in their growth phase. It is important to continue
the weekly treatments.
After the 12 week programme, you should see a significant reduction in hairs within the treated area.
Any remaining hairs should be finer and lighter in colour. Continued monthly treatments, or treatments
as required, should maintain the reduction in unwanted hair.
3. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
DO NOT USE SMOOTHSKIN PURE if you have very dark skin. The skin tone sensor
located near the output window of the device will determine the tone of your skin. If
the skin tone sensor determines that your skin is too dark for safe use, operation of
SMOOTHSKIN PURE will be prevented.
SMOOTHSKIN PURE is designed to help break the cycle of hair growth. Light energy is transferred
through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the hair shaft. The absorbed light
energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle.
Treated hairs naturally fall out over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks.
Hair growth is cyclical and follows 3 distinct and consecutive phases. IPL treatment is only eective
when hairs are in a particular phase (the Anagen – growth phase). Not all hairs are in the same
phase at any one time. This is why you should follow the recommended treatment regimen of
12 weekly treatments.

6 7
DO NOT use SMOOTHSKIN PURE if your skin has been artificially or naturally
tanned or is burned from sun overexposure. Your skin may be extra sensitive
following sun exposure and particularly susceptible to burning, blistering,
discolouring or scarring if you use SMOOTHSKIN PURE. Wait 1 week until
sunburn or tan disappears before using SMOOTHSKIN PURE.
DO NOT expose treated areas to the sun. Wait at least 7 days after treatment
before exposing treated skin to direct sunlight. Your skin may be extra
sensitive following SMOOTHSKIN PURE treatment and particularly susceptible
to sunburn. Apply sunscreen (SPF 15 or greater) to the treated area or cover
the treated area with suitable clothing.
DO NOT use SMOOTHSKIN PURE directly on the nipples, genitals or around
the anus. These areas may have a darker skin colour and/or greater hair
density. Using the device in these areas may cause discomfort/pain or injure
(burn, discolour or scar) your skin.
DO NOT use SMOOTHSKIN PURE if you have a history of skin cancer or pre-
cancerous lesions (e.g. nevi or a large number of moles).
DO NOT use SMOOTHSKIN PURE if you are pregnant, lactating, as this device
has not been tested with these individuals.
DO NOT use SMOOTHSKIN PURE on dark brown or black spots such as
birthmarks, moles or warts in the area you wish to treat. Using the SMOOTHSKIN
PURE may injure your skin or make existing conditions worse. You may
experience side eects such as burns, blisters and skin colour changes
or scarring.
DO NOT use SMOOTHSKIN PURE if you have any skin condition in the treatment
area, including psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, acne, herpes simplex or active
infections or wounds.
DO NOT use SMOOTHSKIN PURE if you are under the age of 18 as this device
has not been tested on these individuals.

WARNINGS
EYE SAFETY
SMOOTHSKIN PURE emits flashes of intense pulsed light. Direct exposure is
potentially harmful 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) detects a valid skin tone reading and is in full contact with the
treatment area. However:
DO NOT look directly into 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.
ELECTRICAL AND SAFETY
As with any electrical device, certain
precautions must be taken in order to ensure
your safety.
DO NOT try to open SMOOTHSKIN PURE, as
this may expose you to dangerous electrical
components.
DO NOT use if SMOOTHSKIN PURE is
damaged; 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 PURE becomes wet, it should not be used.
DO NOT use if SMOOTHSKIN PURE becomes uncomfortably hot to touch.
This may indicate that the unit is damaged.
