Depending 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

st

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

st

session. If you don’t feel any unpleasantness, you can increase the intensity

to power level 4 for the 2

nd

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.

Warning: do not apply cosmetics before and during the treatment. It could cause red

patches or burns.

Thank you for buying the Derma Perfect appliance from ROWENTA.

Your appliance uses LIP (intense pulsed light) technology which is used by professionals

in semi-permanent epilation, but has been adapted for personal use. This appliance can be used

on all the parts of the body except for the face, neck and nipples.

PERFORMANCE

If you follow our instructions on use properly, your Derma Perfect appliance will enable you to

achieve long-term body hair reduction.

On average, after 6 sessions, you should notice a 83% reduction in visible body hair (test carried

out on 33 women from November 2010 to April 2011).

Treatment must be carried out at regular intervals, every 2 weeks over 4 to 6 sessions, then once

a month over 2 to 4 sessions depending on how fast your body hair grows back.

You may then use DERMA PERFECT for adding extra touches depending on what you feel is

needed, until all the hair has been removed. It takes around 12 to 18 months, depending on the

type of body hair you have, to achieve long-lasting results allowing you to enjoy the pleasure of

having long-lasting smooth and soft legs.

SUMMARY

I- INTRODUCTION

1800130709_EP9870E0_118x118 25/06/13 10:47 Page4

SAFETY

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

14).

5.1 Getting started:

1. Take the appliance along with the other components of the DERMA PERFECT out of its

box.

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

3. Plug the Adaptor power cord into the DERMA PERFECT appliance’s socket (no.

21 p. 9).

4. Plug in the Adaptor to a mains socket: the ”stand-by” mode indicator LED comes on: your

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

sound.

6. About 4 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

5.3 page 13).

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

4 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).

V- INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

10

1800130709_EP9870E0_118x118 25/06/13 10:47 Page10

10. Move the appliance’s window over to another area

of skin to be treated. 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.

Warning: 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.

Warning: do not apply cosmetics before and during the treatment. It could cause red

patches or burns.

If any burns or blisters appear, you must STOP THE TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY!

IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE:

• If the skin to be treated is darker than the phototype V illustrated in the table of

the different types of skin / body hair (page 2 and 14).

• On the parts exposed to the sun, to UV rays or treated with self-tanning lotions or

sprays over the last 30 days.

• On beauty spots or dark birth marks. You can however use make-up type white

pencil (which doesn’t contain metallic by-products), white non-transparent sticking

plasters or white bandage to cover them up.

• Don’t forget to read the sections “WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”

(pages 6 to 8) as well as the pages on HEALTH WARNINGS (pages 17 to 19).

• 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).

5.3. 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.

When the appliance is functioning, its intensity level will automatically default to the weakest

intensity. Only one POWER LIGHT will be on.

To set the light to the required intensity, either stronger or weaker, press the Power Selector by

pressing either “+” or “- “ until the Light corresponding to the intensity you require comes on.

In order to find out the intensity level which suits your phototype, please refer to the following

questionnaire for determining the type of skin / body hair:

To help you determine the colour of your body hair, take the natural colour of your hair

as a reference.

Depending 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 are using 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

st

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 treating at level 1 intensity (the area being flashed must be shaved

beforehand).

5.4. Disposable lamp (EP9860)

The DERMA PERFECT Disposable Lamp has a 5,000 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 5,000 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

while ensuring removal of

the Pro Precision System beforehand if you were in the process of using it. .

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.

Warning: do not apply cosmetics before and during the treatment. It could cause red

patches or burns.

Please note: a disposable lamp must also be replaced if you notice that large stains

have appeared on the inside or if the lamp’s window is broken.

Please keep the appliance well away from your eyes. It must not be used for

treating facial or neck hair or for hair around the nipples. During treatment of

the other body areas, we strongly recommend that you never stare directly into

the light emitted by DERMA PERFECT.

How to replace the disposable lamp:

1. Press the Start/Stop/Stand-by Button on the

appliance so as to put it into stand-by mode.

2. Unplug the Adaptor from the mains socket.

3. Take the light and the Pro Precision System and pull

downward in order to open the unit. Press on the

edges of the light in order to detach it from the Pro

Precision System.

4. Throw away the used light together with your usual

household waste.

5.

Unwrap a new disposable lamp.

6. Insert the new disposable lamp by carefully

positioning it until it is completely locked in the

appliance.

Please note: Once you have replaced the disposable lamp, always set the energy level

to a level which is lower than what you’re used to. Only return to your usual power level

if you haven’t felt any unusual unpleasantness either during or after your treatment.

5.5. In the event of a problem:

•

The appliance won’t start:

- Check that the adaptor is correctly plugged into the appliance.

- Check that the mains adaptor is correctly plugged into the wall socket.

your service centre.

1800130709_EP9870E0_118x118 25/06/13 10:47 Page16

•

The appliance does not emit any light flashes:

- If the lamp LED remains on permanently, check that the lamp is correctly inserted in the

appliance.

- If the lamp LED light remains on permanently, this means that you have reached the

maximum number of flashes for the lamp. Change the lamp so that you can carry on using

your appliance.

- If the malfunction indicator light remains on permanently, take the appliance to your

service centre.

- The skin detection lights are flashing alternately green and orange: the skin colour

measured by the detector is too dark and the appliance has gone into safety mode. Please

refer to the table for determining the type of skin /body hair.

- The skin detection lights remain permanently on green: check that the whole of the lamp’s

surface is in contact with the skin.

•

In the event of the appliance suffering a fall:

- Check that the UV filter is not broken or taut. If this is the case, replace the lamp before

using the appliance again.

- If the appliance does not emit any more flashes after suffering a fall: replace the lamp. If

replacing the lamp does not solve the problem, take the appliance back to your service centre.

•

If you feel any unpleasantness arising from the intensity of the light from the flashes during

use:

- Look away from the area being treated when you press on the trigger (in particular when

treating armpits).

- For extra comfort when treating, you can use a pair of sunglasses with a filter index of S3

or greater.
