CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations on your new CLARO from Spa Sciences, the next
generation in photo light therapy.
Eective, safe, pain-free and easy to use, the CLARO uses not one
but two types of light therapy that work synergistically to treat your
acne. Blue light eliminates acne causing bacteria and red light calms
the inammation, two of the major causes of acne breakouts. The
combination of blue and red light was clinically found to clear mild to
moderate inammatory acne better and faster than either blue light alone
or 5% benzoyl peroxide cream1. The CLARO will be your best friend in the
ght to eliminate acne and prevent future breakouts.
For important information about safety and how to use the
device, please read the full Instructions for Use booklet before
you use your CLARO for the rst time.
If you have any questions or problems with the CLARO, please contact
customer service at: [email protected]

BEFORE YOU START
WHAT IS THE CLARO USED FOR?
The CLARO is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate
inammatory acne.
Mild acne is generally dened as up to approximately 30 spots
which may or may not be inamed including papules (small bumps
with a rough texture) and pustules (inamed bump lled with white
or yellow pus, i.e., pimple).
Moderate acne is generally dened as more numerous spots
and pimples (up to approximately 100) with greater inammation
(redness/tenderness).
If you have nodules (solid mass under the skin) or cysts (liquid-lled
bag-like structure under the skin), then your acne is more severe.
Consult your doctor for the appropriate treatment.
HOW DOES THE CLARO WORK?
Using the CLARO according to instructions has been proven to
result in the destruction of the bacteria causing acne, healing of
existing pimples, and the reduction in the appearance of new
pimples. Best results can be expected after 2-4 weeks of daily
3-minute treatments.

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS
When used according to the instructions, side eects and
complications associated with use of the CLARO are rare. However,
every cosmetic procedure, including those designed for home
use, involve some degree of risk. Therefore, it is important that you
understand and accept the risks and complications that can occur
with energy-based systems designed for home use. Blue and red
light treatments are generally very well-tolerated. Most users sense
the moderate heat applied by the device during use, with no further
discomfort.
Minor Skin Discomfort / Skin Redness: Your skin may become
slightly irritated and/or red after using the device. This is a typical
and transient phenomenon. If the irritation or redness does not
disappear within a few days, please consult a physician or a
dermatologist.
