ENGLISHRIO EVOLUTION Using micro current technology Rio Evolution destroys the hair root and papilla to prevent future hair growth. The micro current changes the pH in the hair follicle to alkaline which then attacks the hair root and papilla cells (it is these cells which are responsible for hair growth). This action continues for sometime after the treatment is complete and the hair has been removed. It is not always possible to kill all of the papilla cells in a single treatment and in these situations the hair may regrow. If it does regrow it is generally much finer and lighter than previously. Successive treatments will kill the papilla cells giving a permanent result. You may use your normal epilation methods in between treatments.

Please check you have all components before using your Rio Evolution Hair Remover, if you find any parts are missing please call our Careline on

RIO EVOLUTION HAIR REMOVERINSTRUCTIONS

Please Note: Some people may experience a slight redness when the hair has been removed. This is quite normal and will fade within an hour or two. Before starting remove any make-up and clean the treatment area using soap and water.

1. Apply a small amount of conductive gel to the

hairs which are to be treated OR put a blob of gel on the skin, into which you can dip the tweezers before taking hold of the individual hair.

2. Switch on the unit by turning the

ON/OFF/Timer dial clockwise. The unit will bleep twice and the green power light will illuminate.

3. Set the timer dial to suit the type of hair being

treated. The treatment time varies between five and thirty seconds depending on the setting.

Hair Type Fine Hair, e.g. lip. Medium Hair, e.g. eyebrow. Thick Hair, e.g. bikini line.INSTRUCTIONS

4. Using the tweezers take hold of the hair at the

point where it meets the skin. Only apply a gentle pressure on the tweezers, do NOT press the button fully (see point 6).

5. The amber treatment light will start flashing,

indicating the treatment is in progress. If the amber light does not come on, check the tweezers are plugged in and that you are making a good contact with the hair at the point where it meets the skin.

6. When the treatment is complete you will hear a

short bleep and the green ‘treatment complete indicator’ will illuminate. The hair can now be removed by increasing the pressure on the tweezers to pluck the hair out of the hair follicle. If contact with the hair is broken during treatment the amber treatment light will go out and the unit will bleep three times. If the contact is not re-established within three seconds the treatment timer will assume you have moved onto a fresh hair and will restart the treatment programme.

gelREMOVING THE HAIR The destruction of the hair root cells continues for some time after the treatment has finished. It makes no difference whether you remove the hair immediately or not. If there is a particulary stubborn hair, an additional treatment or longer treatment time may be required. As with all hair removal treatments it is recommended that the area you have treated is washed with cool water and a mild antiseptic cream applied. PLEASE NOTE If the unit has been turned on, but not used for three minutes it will bleep twice and the power light will flash twice every thirty seconds. This is to attract your attention to turn the unit off and save the battery life.

‘Low Battery’ is indicated by bleeping intermittently every five seconds and the power light flashing. POWER ADAPTER Your Evolution may also be used with a power adapter (available separately as an optional extra). The power adapter simply plugs into the adapter socket on the side. (You can order the power adapter by phoning the Rio Customer Care Line on 01242 702345, using the order form enclosed or by visiting www.riobeauty.com). 8CARE INSTRUCTIONS
