8.2 Facial treatment
WARNING
Do not use the beurer Velvet Skin Pro on your face at an energy level higher than 3.
Women should not use the beurer Velvet Skin Pro on their face above the cheekbones or on the
eyes, eyebrows or eyelashes, as this could result in severe damage to the eyes.
Men should not use the beurer Velvet Skin Pro on the face, neck or chin.
Do not use the beurer Velvet Skin Pro on mucous membranes in the nose or throat area.
The skin on your face is very sensitive and requires special care. Observe all warning and safety notes
in these instructions for use to prevent adverse consequences. We recommend that you first perform
a treatment on your body and get to know the device before performing facial treatment.
All areas of the face below the cheekbones, such as the upper lip, cheeks, jaw, chin and neck can be
treated using the beurer Velvet Skin Pro.
Note
The precision attachment, which is included in delivery, can be used to make
application on the face easier. This makes the light area smaller and allows for a
more precise application.
The precision attachment can be easily attached to the head of the device by
positioning it and pushing it on to the light area.
Please position the precision attachment so that the corresponding cut-out area
in the attachment lines up over the skin contact/skin colour sensor. If the skin
contact/skin colour sensor is covered, it is not possible to trigger a light pulse.
Use the precision attachment with max. energy level 3 and only use if your skin
tone is lighter than skin type 5.
Do not use the precision attachment for longer than 80 pulses in a row.
There is the risk of the red filter becoming too hot, which could result in burns.
1. You must carry out a selective skin sensitivity test 48 hours before treatment (see Chapter 7, step 2).
The skin sensitivity test should be performed on an area without hair, such as below the ear or on the
side of the neck, to determine the suitable energy level.
WARNING
Do not treat the tested area until at least one week after performing the skin sensitivity test.
Note
Facial hair can be a result of hormones, which means that several sessions may be required to achieve
long-lasting hair reduction.
8.3 Care after facial treatment
• Apply a soothing lotion such as aloe vera.
• Do not use exfoliators, whitening lotions or similar products for at least 24 hours, as this could irritate
the treated skin.
• For at least 48 hours after the treatment, avoid more than 15 minutes of direct exposure to the sun.
If recently treated skin is exposed to sunlight during this period, sun protection with SPF 30 or higher
must be applied.
• Do not remove hair on the treated areas using wax or tweezers.
Remember that it may take a complete hair growth cycle for hair removal to be complete.
