Step 4: Prepare The Treatment Area; Step 5: Adjust The Energy Intensity/Automatic Skin Tone Detection - Beurer IPL 8800 Velvet Skin Pro Gebrauchsanweisung

• The fifth to seventh hair removal sessions using the beurer Velvet Skin Pro should be performed
around four weeks apart. Afterwards, you may use the beurer Velvet Skin Pro from time to time as
necessary, until lasting results are achieved.
This corresponds to the recommended treatment plan that has proven to achieve the best results.
You can, however, create a different personal treatment plan and still achieve satisfactory results.
Note
The hair removal results cannot be improved by treating the same part of the body more than once
within two weeks.
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
beurer 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.
