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

I- INTRODUCTION
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.

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.
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.

III. IN WHAT CASES CAN THE DERMA PERFECT APPLIANCE BE
USED?
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).

V- INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
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.18 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
5.2 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
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).
10
1800126329_EP9840D0_DERMA_PERFECT:118 x 118 27/07/12 14:57 Page11
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.
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 13).
• 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 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).
