Before you no!no!

Get the best results and performance by learning as much as you can before you
no!no!. Below is a brief description about what to expect, what to look out for and how
each of the parts work.

• Track your progress! Before you use

no!no! the first time, study the area you
want to treat. You might even want to
take pictures or choose a small area
and count the hairs. Then, once every 2
weeks, check your progress. After 4-6
weeks, you should be able to see initial
results.

• Aroma therapy – no!no! burns hair and

burnt hair smells. But that’s how you
know its working. Try aromatic candles
or other air fresheners. An after
treatment cream or moisturizer like
no!no! Smooth will help mask the smell
even further. As less hair grows back,

the smell will also decrease.

• Test Run – Before you use no!no! the

first time, and before treating new
areas, always test no!no! on a small
section at the lowest treatment level.

• That feels weird

– Some people

experience a mild tingling sensation
when they first use no!no!, especially
around sensitive areas. This sensation
will fade away completely after a few
treatments.

• For the sensitive type – If your skin

feels uncomfortable during treatment,
reduce the treatment level and/or take
short breaks after repeatedly gliding on

8

any one area.

• Keep it Smooth – When you finish your

treatment, apply a non-alcoholic lotion
or cream like no!no! Smooth to keep
your skin moisturized.

• Patience is a virtue – Initial results

take 4-6 weeks to appear.

• The first 4-6 weeks – For best results,

use no!no! at least 2-3 times a week for
the first 4-6 weeks. You don’t have to
wait for a lot of hair to grow back. Just
1mm of stubble is enough to get the
smooth results you are looking for.

• After the first 4-6 weeks – You may

have noticed that your hair isn’t growing
in as fast or as thick. You can reduce
the treatments to once or twice a week.

• Check the Thermicon™ Tips – Always

make sure the thermodynamic wire
is completely intact before use. If it is

bent or torn, replace it before your next
treatment.

• Clean the Thermicon™ Tips – Clean

the tips frequently during treatment
with the enclosed cleaning brush,

especially when working on long hair.
This will help prolong the life of your
Thermicon™ Tips.

• Stay Safe! Do not use no!no! on

sunburned skin, open cuts, bruises,
blisters, large moles or on raised areas
such as scars.

• Stay Smart! Do not use no!no! on the

genitals, nipples or on and around the
eye.

• Stay protected! Your no!no! warranty

lasts for one year on parts and service.
Keep your receipt.

• When first using no!no! or when starting to treat a new area, test no!no! on a

small section of skin using the lowest treatment level.

• For optimal results, raise and work at the highest level possible while still

maintaining comfort.

• If your skin feels hot or uncomfortable at anytime, STOP immediately. Lower

the treatment level and try again.

• The default treatment level is low. When you turn it on again, it will display the

last used treatment level.

15

Master the no!no! Glide

Crucial to the treatment is the no!no! Glide. To master this technique:

1. Hold no!no! at a

90º angle with the
rollers flat against
the skin.

2. Gently glide no!no! over each section against

the grain of hair growth, with the no!no! logo
in the front.

3. Always glide in a slow, steady, smooth, even motion in one direction. Do not stop in

one place.

16

4. Keep the blue light steady. If it flickers, you may be going too slowly, or too

quickly, adjust your speed accordingly.

5. You may need to go over an area more than once – but don’t over do it, 3-4

passes is enough. If there is more hair left, wait a few minutes and return
to that area if necessary.

6. Do not press down too hard with the device.

7. If you are treating facial hair, please see the Facial Tips section.

Important Note:

Do not be alarmed when the number of bars
change on the Status Screen. When you first

start to glide, the Status Screen will automatically
switch from the Treatment Level display (q) to
the Thermicon™ Tip status display (w).

Check the icon to determine what information is
being displayed.

q

17

Rounded areas

To work on more difficult areas, go slowly and allow
no!no! to follow the natural curve of the body. We
recommend mastering the glide on arms and legs before
moving on to the knees, elbows, face and bikini line.

NOTE: The bikini line may be extra-sensitive to temperature. If it becomes
uncomfortably warm during treatment, lower the treatment level or work on a
different area for a while. Do not go further than the bikini line.

Watch the Light

The signal light by the ThermiconTM Tip will guide you throughout your no!no!
treatment. It lets you know when you are working at the right speed and warns
you if the Thermicon™ Tip is torn, damaged or no longer working. The Signal Light
is only visible while you are gliding the no!no!.

18

When working at the right speed, the light will remain steady. If the light flickers,
adjust your speed accordingly.

Master the Buffer

You’ve tried everything but your skin still doesn’t feel smooth? Did you remember to
buff? Without buffing, crystallized hair remains in place, giving your skin a prickly
feel. These treated hairs will eventually fall out – but why wait? Buffing exfoliates
your skin, removes crystallized hair and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth.

To Buff:

1. Hold the Buffer by the flaps.

2. Firmly rub the buffer in either

a circular or back and forth
motion over the treated area.

20

Treatment Summary

1. Unplug no!no! from the power supply.

2. Remove the cover.

3. Insert the proper size Thermicon™ Tip for the area you are treating.

4. Push the On/Off button on the top of the unit.

5. Set the treatment level.

6. Glide no!no! over your skin at a 90º angle.

7. Buff after completing each section.

8. Apply a moisturizer.

21

Thermicon™ Tips

1. To avoid possible malfunction

or harm, make sure to gently
push the Thermicon™ Tip all
the way into the socket.

2. WARNING! Always check the wire in the Thermicon™ Tip before use. Never use

a Thermicon™ Tip if the wire is bent

,

torn or damaged in any way.

Treating Facial Hair

Your face is very sensitive. Take a few minutes and read these important tips for the
safest, most effective treatment.
To view videos of facial hair treatments in action, go to

www.howtonono.com.

Always use the narrow tip and start with the lowest treatment level.
And remember, if there is any discomfort, anywhere – STOP.
Get comfortable - Practice using the no!no! on your arms or legs before moving to

your face.

TEST

Before you begin, use the instructions below and treat a small, discreet section of
your face to see how your skin reacts to a no!no! facial hair treatment.

If there is any discomfort – STOP.

24

Upper Lip and Mustache Area

When treating the mustache area – start under the nose and work your
way outwards – be careful not to touch your lips or let your skin bunch up
into the tip – hold the skin tight and/or purse your lips inward to create a
straight, smooth surface.

DO NOT allow your lips to come in contact with the Thermicon wire.
DO NOT go over one area excessively.
If there is any discomfort – STOP.

Chin & Jaw Line

Starting from just below the jaw or chin line, glide your no!no! up and
around the curve.

If you need to, pull skin straight and/or purse your lips inward to give
your chin and jaw a straighter, smoother line.

If there is any discomfort – STOP.

25

Sideburns

Start at the base of the chin and glide upwards following the curve of your face. If you
need to, pull your skin tight and straight for a flat, smooth working surface.

If there is any discomfort – STOP.

IMPORTANTNOTE: The area just below the eye and around the eyelid is especially
sensitive. DO NOT treat this area.

26

Maintenance

Do not use any liquids of any kind to clean the Thermicon™ Tip or rollers.

Thermicon™ Tips

It is important to keep the Thermicon™ Tip free of hair debris. Allowing hair to build
up may cause it to burn out prematurely or malfunction. Check and clean the tip
periodically during each treatment session.

To clean the Thermicon™ Tip:

1. Turn off your no!no!.

2. Remove the Thermicon™ Tip.

3. Gently brush clean.

27

Rollers

Although not necessary to the performance of no!no!, keeping the rollers clean is all
part of proper maintenance. Use the cleaning brush to remove excess hair and debris
from the rollers.

Brush debris out and away from the socket in order to prevent any particles from
falling into the socket.

If any hair or debris fall into the socket, this may
cause no!no! to not function properly. Gently
blow any particles out of the socket before
beginning the next treatment.

28

Troubleshooting

If no!no! does not start when you glide it on the skin:

• Press and hold the On/Off button down for a few seconds again until the Status

Screen appears.

• If it’s not turning on make sure the unit is charged.

• Check the Status Screen while gliding. If no bars appear, replace the Thermicon™

Tip.

• Make sure the Thermicon™ Tip is not bent or torn. Replace it if necessary.

If the device is not working properly, contact your point of purchase for examination
or repair. The no!no! warranty is only valid if no!no! has been used according to the
instructions in this guide. Retain all receipts and original packaging.
