7. Before you start

STEP 1: check whether the beurer SalonPro System is suitable for you

WARNING
Before using the beurer SalonPro System for the first time, check whether the device is suitable for you.
To check whether the beurer SalonPro System is suitable for you, read Chapter 4 "Warnings and safety
notes" and determine on the basis of the "Hair and skin colour chart", shown on the back page of the
instructions for use, which light intensity is best suited to your skin and 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).

STEP 2: Skin sensitivity test

WARNING
Perform a skin sensitivity test before using the SalonPro System.
The aim of the skin sensitivity test is to determine how your skin reacts to treatment using the beurer
SalonPro System. Furthermore, it helps you to set the optimum energy level for each treatment zone.
Perform a skin sensitivity test on every area of skin that you would like to treat 48 hours prior to the
complete treatment.
Note
In the case of facial treatment, the skin sensitivity test should be performed on an area without hair,
such as below the ear or on the side of the neck.
1. Before the treatment, ensure that the skin is shaved, clean and dry (free from any residue such as
powder, 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 SalonPro System.
2. Set up the device as described in Chapter 8.1 "Starting treatment" under points 2 to 5.
3. Place the light area of the cartridge on the desired test area and make sure it is in full contact with the
skin.
4. The device is automatically set to the lowest energy level. Trigger the first pulse with energy level 1
by pressing the trigger button. You will see a bright flash, hear a cracking noise and may feel a slight
burning sensation and/or warmth. Within three seconds, the device is ready for the next pulse and
the indicator lamp on the applicator is continuously illuminated green.
5. Remove the applicator from the skin and place it on the next part of the test area.
Note
Only increase the energy level if the previous level is not uncomfortable for you. If energy level 1 is
uncomfortable for you, do not increase the energy level.
6. The energy level can be increased by an increment of 1 by pressing the "+" energy level button. The
energy indicator lamps illuminate in accordance with the selected energy level.
Trigger the second pulse with energy level 2 by pressing the trigger button.
7. Only repeat steps 5 and 6 if you feel in good health, until you have reached the top energy level 6.
Stop the test if it feels uncomfortable, as there is a risk of adverse consequences if the energy level is
increased. Stop the test immediately if you notice adverse effects such as extreme reddening or blis-
tering.
8. Wait 48 hours and examine the treated area.
If the skin on the treated area appears normal (no reaction or slight reddening), you can continue with
the full treatment using the highest energy level that you found comfortable during the test. If you
