Notes for Use What Can I Use the Appliance For? The appliance is suitable for use on facial skin (apart from the area around the eyes and the area around the lips). Since, with the passing of years, the epidermal skin layer becomes thinner due to inward and outward impact, coarse skin and signs of light damage become noticeable. This appliance was developed to counteract the rst signs of aging facial skin. Use the appliance to clean, peel and massage your facial skin. With regular use, you can achieve an improved complexion.
