Plug in the device, set the switch to position 1 (massage only) or 2 (massage + infrared), then adjust the speed with the knob. Perform slow circular motions from bottom to top without excessive pressure. Do not massage the same area for more than 5 minutes and do not exceed 15 minutes of continuous use.

How to clean the device and accessories?

Unplug the device before cleaning. Clean the device with a soft slightly damp cloth. Plastic accessories can be rinsed under running water or cleaned with an alcohol-soaked cloth. The fabric cap can be machine washed. Never immerse the device in water and do not use abrasive products or solvents.

What are the contraindications for use?

Consult your doctor if you suffer from venous problems (phlebitis, varicose veins), skin disorders, diabetes, if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker. People insensitive to heat should use the device with caution. Do not use on the same area for more than 5 minutes.

What are the different accessories for?

Accessories 3a and 3b are multi-pin attachments for percussion massage (acupressure). Accessory 3c is a roller for vibrating anti-cellulite massage. Accessory 3d is a friction tip for a gentler, relaxing massage, ideal for relieving contractures. The fabric cap attaches to use creams without dirtying the accessories.

Is the infrared function useful?

Yes, the infrared/heat function combined with massage produces a thermal skin reaction that improves absorption of cosmetic products (creams, oils). It can be activated by setting the switch to position 2.

Results are not immediate. After 6 weeks of regular use, the skin on treated areas becomes smoother and firmer. For established cellulite, it is necessary to combine a balanced diet and physical activity.

Introduction

GB

Self-massage is a good daily practice that promotes blood and lymphatic circulation and reduces water retention, one of the causes of cellulite. Adding special cosmetic products during the massage will also enhance their effectiveness because the cream or oil will be better absorbed.

The treatment significantly improves overall wellbeing by relaxing muscular tension, alleviating pain, reducing stress and fatigue, stimulating blood circulation and restoring energy.

The results will NOT BE IMMEDIATE. After the first six weeks, the skin will be noticeably smoother and tighter in the treated areas but the treatment must be continued.

Massaging can also be used to prevent and reduce cellulite as soon as it appears, but it should be combined with a balanced diet and physical exercise in cases in which it is more evident.

Recommendations for a good self-massage:

Self-massage is best done in the morning because the body is rested and more receptive.

During the evening, especially after a long day spent sitting down or on your feet, the blood in the legs has already pooled and additional stress

may increase the inflammation so it is best to apply only cream with a light massage at this time of day.

How to do a self-massage:

Massage the areas to be treated in small concentric circles. The friction helps to improve local circulation. Use a fluid and slow motion, moving from the bottom up and without applying excessive pressure to the tissues.

Massaging the legs and feet is especially good for alleviating the sensation of tiredness and heaviness and promoting a pleasant relaxed feeling.

Instructions for use

GB

Choose the desired accessory for the massage, mount it onto the hexagonal base making sure that the apparatus is both switched off and unplugged.

Choose the desired accessory for the massage, mount it onto the hexagonal base making sure that the apparatus is both switched off and unplugged.

Use the apparatus by plugging it in and turning the switch to 1 to operate the massage only, or 2 to operate the infrared massage.

Adjust the speed of the massage by means of the appropriate switch.

The accessories supplied can be used interchangeably.

Choose the accessory based on your level of sensitivity and needs, mount it onto the hexagonal base making sure that the apparatus is switched off and unplugged.

You can find more information on the use in the diagram at the end of the paragraph, to choose the speed and the right accessory for every body part to be massaged.

Use the cloth head if you are applying cream during the massage to prevent dirtying the accessories. The cloth head will not interfere with the effectiveness or pleasure of the massage. Mount it by screwing it in a clockwise direction onto the base unit, making sure that it is properly closed.

Accessories 3a and 3b are known as multinodes due to the various shaped protrusions which have been specifically designed to simulate finger pressure, an ancient massage technique that is performed by pressing the fingers on the points of the body that correspond to the organs. Using these, you can perform percussion massages of varying intensity. Applying greater pressure will result in a deeper massage.

The 3c roller accessory is used to perform a vibration massage that works against cellulite due to the up and down movement. It also promotes good blood circulation. Accessory 3d is particularly useful for a more delicate and less intense friction massage which is still just as pleasurable and effective.

It is recommended for alleviating muscular pain from cramps due to the mild, relaxing action of the massage.

The infrared/heat function combined with a massage applies heat to the skin which helps absorb the nutrients from the cosmetic products used.

Do not massage the same part of the body for more than 5 minutes and do not run the appliance for more than 15 minutes at a time.

Before beginning a new session of massages wait for the appliance to cool down at least 15 minutes.
