How It Works
The Venus Naked Skin
®
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system is derived from professional
IPL technology and helps break the cycle of hair regrowth. The light energy is
transferred through the
™
Activating Gel to target the melanin in dark hair, helping to
put the hair to sleep.

RESULTS
Activating Gel
™
Venus Naked Skin
®
comes with
™
Activating Gel. This is a clear, water-based
gel that enables the light to transfer to the hair during treatment to optimize
effectiveness.
Do not use Venus Naked Skin
if you do not have Activating Gel. The gel is available
®
for purchase at your retailer.

What to Expect
You could experience noticeable hair reduction after 6 treatments and long lasting hair
removal after 6 – 12 treatments. Continue to treat once every two months to maintain
results and to enjoy continuously smooth, beautiful skin.
How to Use
Getting Started
The treatment area should be clean,
hair-free and dry.
1. Remove any visible hair before using
Venus Naked Skin
. Removal of hair
®
ensures the light reaches the hair
follicle during treatment.
2. Cleanse the treatment area and
pat dry.
Setup
To power on the device:
1. Place the device unit on a firm
surface. The handset should be
securely placed in its cradle on the
base unit.
2. Plug the power supply into an
electrical outlet. The Skin Tone
Sensor button will illuminate RED to
indicate STANDBY mode. A skin tone
reading is required to begin.
Check Your Skin Tone
USING THE SKIN TONE SENSOR
Venus Naked Skin
has an integrated
®
Skin Tone Sensor designed to assist you
in choosing the appropriate skin tone
setting for your skin.
