After Treatment; Cleaning And Storage; Possible Side Effects - Braun Silk-expert PRO 3 Manual De Instrucciones

After treatment

Once you have completed your treatment, unplug the power supply from the electrical outlet.
After treatment, we recommend using sunscreen SPF >15 whenever treated areas may be exposed to the
sun. We recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources, such as tanning booths or solariums.
Avoid any activity or skin products that may irritate your skin for 24 hours after treatment. This includes
using hot tubs or saunas, wearing tight-fitting clothing, using bleaching creams, perfumed products or
exfoliation products. The above may cause irritation, such as itching and redness, in the treated areas.

Cleaning and storage

After each treatment, the skin tone sensors (2) and the treatment window (1) should be inspected for
damage and wiped down with a dry, lint free cloth. If any marks or black spots are seen, clean them off
straight away. Do not touch or clean the glass filter (9) immediately after use to allow it to cool down.
Do not rinse or immerse the device in water or any other liquid.
To ensure maximum performance, keep the heads (10, 11) with their built-in reflectors free from dirt, hair
or other debris. Do not clean in water, but use a dry cloth for cleaning them carefully.
Store the device in a cool, dry place. Make sure the treatment window and skin sensors are protected from
damage.
