Charging the battery

When the level indicator LED flashes red, the product needs charging. Connect the charging base to the mains using the USB power lead and the appropriate plug. Place the handle in the charging base and press down firmly. The LED lights will flash to indicate that charging is taking place. When charging is complete all the lights will stay on. It takes 4 hours for a full charge, which will provide 90-120 minutes use, dependent on power levels used.

Filter Fitting and Replacement

For correct operation it is very important that a new black wool filter is fitted before each use of the device. The filter collects dead skin cells and should be disposed of after use and then replaced. Using the device without a filter will allow debris and dead skin cells to enter the motor, shortening the life of the product and invalidating the guarantee. (Fig.1)

What to Expect

Regular microdermabrasion treatments can both restore and maintain a youthful appearance to the skin. We advise starting slowly with just one or two treatments a week, then building up to treatments every other day if desired.

During use you should feel a gentle suction effect as the tip moves across the skin and some people may also notice the slight coarseness of the diamond tip.

Depending on your skin type, you may experience some reddening or increased sensitivity after treatment. This is perfectly normal and usually subsides within a few hours. You may wish to consider this and make your first treatment at the end of the day rather than just before going out.

Adverse reactions are rare, but if skin becomes unduly inflamed or irritated, stop using the device immediately.

Facial Treatment Routine

• Wash and dry your face
• Remove the handle from the charging base and fit your choice of diamond tip with a new black wool filter.
• Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn the unit on. Press again as required to increase the power level, as indicated by the LEDs. It is recommended to start on level 1 for the first treatment and to progress to a higher level if comfortable. See also MAX recommended levels in the above diagrams

• Place the diamond tip flat against the skin until you feel suction then move it slowly across the surface of the skin in a smooth motion, covering the same area no more than 2-3 times in one treatment. Do not press hard. In some areas it can help to hold the skin taught with the other hand (eg. around the eyes).
• The diagrams above will help you establish an effective facial routine.

After treatment

• Press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds to turn off device.
• Wash your face with cold water to remove any remaining dead skin cells and then apply your preferred moisturiser. NOTE: Avoid using AHA (acid based) moisturisers on the day of treatment
• Depending on your skin type, you may experience some reddening or increased sensitivity after treatment. This is perfectly normal and usually subsides within a few hours.

- Avoid direct sun exposure after treatment, consider applying a stronger sunscreen as required.

- Always, dispose of the used black wool filter and replace with a new filter ready for next use.

- Remove dead skin cells and debris from the diamond tip using the brush provided. We also recommend the periodic use of an ultrasonic cleaner for deep cleaning the diamond tip, especially if it starts to feel smooth or less effective.

Other Treatments

Other areas of the body can also be treated 2-3 times a week. For example, neck, chest, hands etc. When treating larger areas, replace the black wool filter part way through the treatment in order to maintain the level of suction. Aim to cover the same area no more than 2-3 times in one treatment.

FAQ

How often should I use the product?

It's best to start slowly – usually just once a week, then build up to 2 or 3 times a week if this is comfortable for your skin.

Will it hurt?

No. Treatment should not be painful. Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, you may feel slight discomfort from the diamond tip as it moves across the skin and there could be some short term redness or sensitivity after treatment, but this will soon subside. If treatment is uncomfortable, then you may need to use a lower power setting or switch to the sensitive diamond tip.

Can I use the product in combination with anti-aging creams/serums?

If your anti-aging cream or serum contains AHA (or acid) then it should not be used on the same day as the microdermabrasion treatment, but can be used on non-treatment days. Non-AHA (acid free) anti-aging products can be used at any time.

The product does not switch on

The power button has to be pressed continuously for 2-3 seconds to turn the product on. If you try this and it still doesn't work, then it may need recharging. See 'CHARGING THE BATTERY'

The product seems to be losing power

This can happen if the black wool filter is not replaced after each treatment. Try fitting a new filter. Also check the tip to ensure that the plastic part of the tip has no cracks or damage. Check that the two rubber o-rings are in place on the nozzle end of the unit (where the tip fits over).

The diamond tip no longer seems rough

The diamond tip can accumulate skin cells over time which may start to make it feel smooth and reduce its effectiveness. If this happens we recommend cleaning the diamond tip in an Ultrasonic Cleaner. These are either available to purchase, or jewellery stores offer a cleaning service. If using the product regularly you may need to do this several times a year to maintain optimum effectiveness.
