4. Warnings and safety notes

WARNING
Before using the device, read the safety notes carefully and follow them exactly whenever using the
beurer Velvet Skin Pro. Non-observance of the following instructions can result in injury or material
damage. Store these instructions for use in a safe place and make them accessible to other users.
Ensure that the instructions for use are included if you pass the device on to a third party.
• This device may be used by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, provided
they are supervised by a responsible person or they receive detailed instructions on how to use the
device.
• Do not use the beurer Velvet Skin Pro when pregnant or breastfeeding.
• If you discover extreme reddening, blistering or burns on the skin, STOP USING THE DEVICE IMME-
DIATELY!
• 48 hours before using the beurer Velvet Skin Pro for the first time, perform a skin sensitivity test on
a small area of skin in the intended treatment area (see Chapter 7, step 2: "Skin sensitivity test").
• Never look directly into the light emitted from the IPL lamp. This product emits potentially dangerous
optical radiation. Ensure that the light area of the attachment remains in full contact with the skin.
• Never attempt to release a light pulse into the air!
• On the basis of the "Hair and skin colour chart" on the back page of these instructions for use, deter-
mine which light intensities are best suited to the colour of your skin and your body hair and whether
this method is suitable for you to use at all (if not, this is marked by an 'x' in the chart).
• Do not use the beurer Velvet Skin Pro on naturally dark skin. Treating dark skin with the beurer Velvet
Skin Pro can have adverse consequences, such as burns, blisters or discolouration of the skin (hyper
or hypopigmentation).
• The beurer Velvet Skin Pro works best on darker hair types or on hair with a high melanin content.
Black and dark brown hair shows the best response and, although brown and light brown hair will
also respond to the treatment, it usually requires more hair removal sessions. Red hair could produce
a reaction. White, grey or blond hair does not usually respond to the beurer Velvet Skin Pro, although
several users have noticed results after multiple hair removal sessions.
• The beurer Velvet Skin Pro can cause temporary pigmentation.
• Do not attempt to open or repair your beurer Velvet Skin Pro device. When the beurer Velvet Skin Pro
is opened, you could come into contact with dangerous electrical components or with pulsed light
energy, which could result in serious injury and/or permanent damage to the eyes.
