HOW DOES IPL WORK
SmoothSkin Pure Mini is designed to help break the hair cycle. Light energy is
transferred through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the hair
shaft. That light energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin),
which reduces the hairs growing back. Now you can look forward to seeing the treated
hairs naturally fall out over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks.

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 4 weeks into the 12 week treatment program 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 program, you should see a significant reduction in hairs within the
treated area. Any remaining hairs should be finer and lighter in color.
Continued treatments as required, should maintain the reduction in unwanted hair.

3. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
DO NOT use SmoothSkin Pure Mini 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 Mini will be prevented.
DO NOT use SmoothSkin Pure Mini 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, discoloring or scarring if you use SmoothSkin Pure

DO NOT expose treated areas to the sun. Wait at least 7 days after treatment before exposing

that makes the skin more sensitive and causes photosensitivity, e.g. Retin A, Accutane 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 eect. Use of SmoothSkin Pure Mini on photosensitive skin

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.

5. BENEFITS OF USING SMOOTHSKIN PURE MINI
The SmoothSkin Pure Mini is indicated for the permanent reduction of unwanted hair.
A clinical trial was performed to assess both the safety and ecacy of the SmoothSkin
Pure Mini. The key features of the clinical trial were:
All treatments were performed by non-medically trained operators at a single location
using devices identical to the SmoothSkin Pure Mini provided in this package;
All subjects were required to complete questionnaires related to their general health and
those who could not be treated, e.g. those who had one or more of the contraindications
as listed in Section 3 of this User Manual were excluded. In addition, all subjects were
required to provide Informed Consent as per international clinical trial requirements;
A total of 53 female subjects, aged between 19 and 45 years old, commenced the trial;
Three subjects left the trial during the treatment period for personal reasons. No subjects
left the trial due to problems associated with the use of the SmoothSkin Pure Mini;

18
Each subject received 12 weekly treatments to their chosen body location. A typical
treatment consisted of shaving the site then applying the SmoothSkin Pure Mini following
the same process as outlined in Section 8, Step 3 of this user manual;
Hair counts were used to measure the change in the amount of hair 6 months after the
last treatment and 12 months after the last treatment. The hairs in the treatment sites were
counted via high resolution photography and the dierence in hair counts was calculated
as a percentage change;
When used as directed, the clinical trial participants showed on average 44% less hair 6
months after their last treatment and 36% less hair 12 months after their last treatment
when compared to hair counts taken before treatment (See Table below). Actual results
did vary from person to person;
