Colour of your body hair RO_EP9830_DERMA-PERFECT_1800122477_1800122477 03/02/12 15:51 Page2Depending on the intensity level that you decide upon according to the colour of your skin and the colour of your body hair, always use the lower level when you use the appliance for the first time. Example 1: if your phototype indicates a 3-4 setting intensity, set the appliance to level 3 for the 1

session. If you don’t feel any unpleasantness, you can increase the intensity to power level 4 for the remaining sessions. Example 2: if your phototype indicates a 3-4-5 setting intensity, set the appliance to level 3 for the 1

session. If you don’t feel any unpleasantness, you can increase the intensity to power level 4 for the 2

session. If you don’t feel any unpleasantness, you can increase the intensity to power level 5 for all the following sessions. Nevertheless, if you feel the slightest pain, reduce the intensity level until the session becomes comfortable. In this case, it may be necessary to do an extra 1 or 2 sessions to get the best result. Don’t forget to do a tolerance test by emitting a light pulse on to your skin at least 24 hours before treatment, at level 1 intensity (the area being flashed must be shaved beforehand). IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE: Until you have read the warnings and safety instructions in the health warnings section of this manual. - If the skin that you are treating is darker than the phototype V illustrated in the table for different skin types. - On parts which are exposed to the sun, UV rays or which have been treated with self-tanning lotion or spray over the last 30 days.

RO_EP9830_DERMA-PERFECT_1800122477_1800122477 03/02/12 15:51 Page4SAFETY Your appliance has been designed by scientists and clinicians and has been tested in accordance with the strictest standards. Your appliance is guaranteed to be as safe as is possible thanks to a:

1) SKIN COLOUR DETECTOR: This exclusive safety process checks the

skin’s pigmentation at the start of and during each session. If the Sensor detects that the skin is too dark, the appliance will not emit any pulsed light.

2) DERMATOLOGICAL SAFEGUARD: this appliance has been tested

dermatologically by an independent laboratory.

3) SKIN CONTACT DETECTOR: a system developed for protecting the

eyes. It has been designed so as not to emit any pulsed light if the appliance is pointed towards an empty space. The safety system will only allow the appliance to work when the appliance’s window is in complete contact with the skin.

4) “EYE SAFE” TECHNOLOGY: a high performance built-in UV filter to

ensure that you can use the appliance without any risk of harm to your skin and eyes (over 20cm). SIMPLICITY The DERMA PERFECT appliance is also very easy to use thanks to its ergonomic and compact shape. It functions in 4 stages: shave the area concerned, switch on, select intensity, and flash. IMPORTANT: Due to hormonal or physiological changes, some of your body hair may grow back. In this case you will need some follow-up sessions.

Skin colour DERMA PERFECT gets rid of unwanted hairs by selectively attacking the pigments in the stem of the hair. The quantity of pigments in the skin of any one person will determine its colour, but also the level of risk to which he or she is exposed when using a method of epilation using light, irrespective of whatever method it is. The treatment of skin which is too dark using this type of technology can cause side effects such as burns, blisters or changes in skin colour after healing (hyper or hypopigmentation). DERMA PERFECT has been designed with a colour Sensor which checks the colour of the skin being treated at the beginning of each session and during use. The purpose of this Sensor is to check that the energy is only administered to suitable types of skin. The pulsed light is impeded when the skin is too dark.

Body hair colour The appliance is also ineffective on white and grey hairs or if the natural colour of your hair is red or light blond. If your body hair is one of these colours, it is possible that DERMA PERFECT is not suitable for you. To find out whether the appliance is compatible with your skin/body hair colour, please refer to the skin/ body hair colour table (located on page 2 and 13).

Areas of the body The areas of the body that can be treated by DERMA PERFECT include: armpits, trunk , arms , legs, back, shoulders and torso. The appliance must not be used on the face, neck or nipples. The DERMA PERFECT appliance from ROWENTA has been designed to be very easy to use, thanks to its ergonomic and compact shape. Each time you use your appliance, please check all the parts of the appliance for any signs of damage. If you notice any damage, you must not use the appliance. 4.1.

2. Check that the disposable Lamp is correctly inserted at the end of the appliance.

DERMA PERFECT appliance is now ready for use. Your skin must be shaven, clean, dry and free of any powder or deodorant residue.

5. Press the Start button. The Power Light will come on and you will hear a normal ventilation

6. About 3.5 seconds after you press the Start button, the indicator LEDs will come on and

stay on. The appliance starts off automatically on minimum power. The appliance is now ready to emit its first pulse.

7. If you want to increase or reduce the power, press either the “+” or “- “ on the power

selector until you reach the power level you require (see details on power level in chapter 5.2 page 12).

8. Press the appliance window up against the area of skin to be treated so as to achieve

optimal contact. The Skin Contact Detector will then check that the appliance window is in complete contact with the skin. The indicator LEDs will then start flashing to indicate that the appliance is ready to emit the pulsed light.

9. Press on the trigger.

The system will also check the colour of the skin before activating the pulsed light. If the skin colour is sufficiently fair for a safe application, the appliance will then emit a pulse on to the skin and the Indicator LEDs will go out. You will see a light flash and, simultaneously, you will hear a slight ‘beep’ at each pulse, which is normal. It is possible that you may feel a slightly hot and tingling sensation. Your DERMA PERFECT appliance will recharge immediately between each pulse. After

3.5 seconds, the Indicator LEDs will come on again.

If you don’t see any light pulse and the indicator LEDs start flashing green and orange, this means that the colour of your skin, measured by the Skin Colour Detector, is too dark for a safe application. If you want to use the appliance again, but on a lighter area, you must switch it off and then switch it back on again, otherwise it will remain locked in safety mode (flashing green and orange).

The traces of pressure left on your skin from the appliance should help you to get into the right position for administering a new pulse, and in so doing to avoid superimposing the pulses or spacing them out too much.

Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per epilating session. Repeated treatment on the same area can cause side effects.

11. Repeat the application starting from stage 8.

If any burns or blisters appear, you must STOP THE TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY! IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE:

• Don’t forget to read the sections “WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” (pages 6 to 8) as well as the pages on HEALTH WARNINGS (pages 16 to 18).

• At least 24 hours before commencing treatment at level 1 intensity you must carry out a tolerance test by emitting a light pulse onto your skin (the area to be flashed must be shaved beforehand).

Setting the power level for the appliance DERMA PERFECT has 5 intensity levels ranging from 1 (the weakest) to 5 (the strongest), represented by 3 energy level lights: Level 1 : (the weakest): the light on the left is permanently on. Level 2 : the left light is on and the one in the centre is flashing. Level 3 : the two lights: on the left and in the centre are on. Level 4 : lthe two lights: on the left and in the centre are on and the one on the right is flashing. Level 5 : (the strongest): the 3 lights are permanently on.

session. If you don’t feel any unpleasantness, you can increase the intensity to power level 5 for all the following sessions. Nevertheless if you feel the slightest pain, reduce the intensity level until the session becomes comfortable. In this case, it may be necessary to do an extra 1 or 2 sessions to get the best result. Don’t forget to do a tolerance test by emitting a light pulse on to your skin at least 24 hours before treating at level 1 intensity (the area being flashed must be shaved beforehand). 5.3. Disposable lamp The DERMA PERFECT Disposable Lamp has a 1,000 pulse capacity (irrespective of the intensity level used). The intensity of the pulses is determined only by the setting of the power level of the appliance. There is no drop in energy level throughout the whole lifespan of the lamp. When this lamp has reached 95% of its lifespan, the LED which indicates the condition of the Lamp will start flashing on the control panel to warn you that the lamp soon needs to be replaced. This flashing will slow down as the lamp reaches the end of its life. Once the disposable lamp has emitted 1,000 pulses, the LED which indicates the condition of the Lamp will come on and stay on, warning you that no more pulses are possible. If you want to continue with the epilation you must replace the disposable Lamp. IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE: Until you have read the warnings and safety instructions in the health warnings section of this manual. - If the skin you are treating is darker than the phototype V illustrated in the table for different skin types. - On parts exposed to the sun, to UV rays or which have been treated with self- tanning lotions or sprays over the last 30 days.
