DEVICE OVERVIEW

This is a non-invasive, home- use device that uses Radio
Frequency (RF), a form of electromagnetic energy,
intended to reduce wrinkles, tighten skin and renew skin
elasticity on the face and neck. It is suitable for all skin
tones, easy to use and provides noticeable, long- lasting
results. RF technology has been used in doctors' clinics
for several years and was found to be highly effective.
How it works
Collagen decreases as we age. The device has four
electrodes that deliver the RF energy into the skin
to contract collagen fibres and stimulate the natural
production of collagen. If used correctly, the device will
reduce the appearance of wrinkles as well as tighten the
skin and renew elasticity. Results may be visible after just
one treatment.
The Radio Frequency Gel is especially designed to
work with this device and ensures proper delivery of
RF energy. This will provide the best possible results by
improving contact between the device and the skin.

Sensitivity test
Before using the device, you must conduct a sensitivity
test.
Perform a preliminary test on each area you intend to
treat 48 hours prior to the full treatment. Prepare your
skin as described below in Step 1: Prepare your skin.
Before using the device, apply an even layer of Radio
Frequency Gel to the treatment area.
Start your test with energy level 1 and move the device in
small circular motions.
Stop the test if you do not feel comfortable or if you see
adverse effects.
Perform the sensitivity test for 3 minutes. Wait 48 hours
and examine the tested area. If the skin in the tested area
appears normal you can start a full treatment.
What to expect during treatment
The device is equipped with 2 safety sensors which will
keep the temperature in the effective and safe range
throughout the entire treatment.
The device stops heating when effective temperature
is achieved; heating is then re-activated when the
temperature beings to drop. You will achieve results with
all RF energy levels but, for the lower levels, it will take
more time to reach the effective temperature.
During your treatment it is normal to experience a
sensation of warmth created by the RF energy. You may
experience some mild redness on the skin during and just
after each treatment.
Getting Started
Step 1: Prepare your skin
Prior to use, make sure your skin is dry, clean and free of
topical products such as moisturisers, liquids or lint. Make
sure you remove all jewelry from the treatment area and
from your hands.
The device is suitable for men. However, male users
should make sure their skin is clean-shaven before
treatment.
