Typical aftercare with the beurer Velvet Skin Pro after achieving lasting hair removal:
Due to hormonal or other physiological changes, resting hair follicles can become active. For this rea-
son, hair removal sessions for aftertreatment using the beurer Velvet Skin Pro may be necessary from
time to time.
STEP 4: Prepare the treatment area
Before the treatment, ensure that the skin is shaved, clean and dry (free from any residue such as pow-
der, cream, make-up, antiperspirant or deodorant).
WARNING
Do not clean the skin with flammable liquids such as alcohol or acetone shortly before using the beu-
rer Velvet Skin Pro.
STEP 5: Adjust the energy intensity/automatic skin tone detection
Energy level
The energy level determines the intensity of the light pulse emitted by the beurer Velvet Skin Pro onto
your skin (from the lowest level (-) to the highest level (+)). The energy level display on the device dis-
plays the energy level increases. As the energy level increases, so do the hair removal results and the
risk of possible side effects and complications.
Always begin the first hair removal treatment at the energy level that has been determined in the auto-
matic skin tone recognition test and confirmed in the skin sensitivity test.
Automatic skin tone detection/skin tone measurement
The automatic skin tone detection allows you to see the suitable energy level for your skin tone dis-
played on the device.
Note
• For your safety, always select the darkest area of skin (e.g. the outer side of the lower leg, back
of the hand)
Important: Before using on another part of the body, you must take another measurement.
• The device does not trigger any light pulses in skin tone detection mode.
• If you want to cancel skin tone detection early, press one of the energy level selection buttons
(+ or -) again to return to normal mode.
If you notice slight or no irritation during and after the first hair removal treatment while using the
recommended energy level, you may increase the energy level by 1 in subsequent sessions.
WARNING
Do not increase the energy level if you experience an abnormal amount of pain during or after the
treatment using the beurer Velvet Skin Pro! (See "Step 6 Familiarise yourself with the possible side-
effects")
Do not increase the energy level during the hair removal session, even if you do not notice any dis-
comfort.
Irritation can occur some time after the treatment itself.
STEP 6: Familiarise yourself with the possible side-effects of using the beurer Velvet Skin Pro
If the beurer Velvet Skin Pro is used in accordance with the instructions in these instructions for use,
side effects and complications seldom occur in relation to the use of the beurer Velvet Skin Pro. Howe-
ver, every cosmetic treatment method – including methods such as those designed for use at home – is
associated with a certain degree of risk. That is why it is important that you understand and accept the
risks and complications that can occur with hair removal systems for use at home that use pulsed light.
