KIWI™ derma OVERVIEW

Tormented by uneven skin texture, wrinkles and age-spots? KIWI™ derma is the triple-tech solution to solve all your aging skin concerns. Microdermabrasion gently removes the dull, damaged, uneven top layer of skin to reveal the fresh and radiant  layer below. Perfectly calibrated suction ‘vacuums’ over- congested pores, leaving them perfectly purged and minimized.
T-Sonic™ massage improves microcirculation and lymphatic drainage to help fade pigmentation and reduce puffiness. For a complexion that looks younger, healthier and more refined.

   www.foreo.com/app

2. Log in to your existing account, or sign up for a new one.

4. Choose device series.

5. Follow the instructions on the app and fill in the purchase information.

And your device is ready to use!

H OW TO USE

1. CLEANSE SKIN
   Thoroughly cleanse and dry your face and neck. We recommend using a FOREO LUNA™ Facial Cleansing Massager with Micro-Foam Cleanser.
   (TIP: For optimal results, you can apply a hot towel to your face for 5 minutes to open up the pores, if desired).
   

2. SELECT PREFERENCES
   Attach your preferred tip to the device. Then press the universal button to turn on KIWI™ derma.
   Adjust the vacuum suction intensity by pressing the button again, once for each level. Access more settings via the FOREO app.
   

3. REFINE & REJUVENATE
   Gently hold skin taut. Then press the tip of the device flat against your skin, and quickly glide across your face in upward motions. Once finished, gently wash your face with water and pat dry.
   Complete your treatment by thoroughly moisturizing skin. We recommend using FOREO UFO™ Deep Hydration Facial Device with your preferred UFO™ Activated Mask
   

THINGS TO NOTE:

• Always glide the device quickly and evenly across skin, in an upward motion. Do not pause in one area as bruising may occur.
• Before using your KIWI™ derma on your face, you can test it on your arm to find your optimal comfort level. Start on intensity level 1, and see how your skin reacts. Then work your way up to the intensity level that feels effective yet comfortable.
• Do not over-exfoliate – one glide per area is enough. And do not apply excessive pressure – KIWI™ derma’s diamond microdermabrasion will work even with minimal pressure.
• After your treatment, moisturize your skin thoroughly to hydrate skin and reduce the reddening of sensitive areas. We recommend using FOREO’s UFO™ Deep Hydration Facial Device with your preferred UFO™ Activated Mask.
• We recommend using KIWI™ derma once a week for optimal results, in the PM to allow your skin to heal overnight.
• Avoid using retinoids, peels, or other exfoliating treatments for at least three days before and after performing microdermabrasion at home. Additionally, refrain from using vitamin C products at least one week before and after the procedure to avoid over-irritation.
• It’s important to limit sun exposure before and after microdermabrasion treatment. Avoid the sun and use sunscreen at least a week before and after the procedure to prevent potential harm to the skin. We recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF.
  

CLEANING YOUR KIWI™ derma

Since KIWI™ derma is the world’s first microdermabrasion device that doesn’t require any replacement parts, it’s important that you follow our device cleaning instructions carefully, to keep your treatments as effective as possible.

• For optimal results, unscrew the tip, hold it under running water to wash away any dirt and debris, and leave it to completely air dry before replacing it on the device
  

• Meanwhile, spray the body of the device with FOREO Silicone Cleaning Spray, and wipe away any residue using a damp, lint-free cloth or towel.
  

• Finally, spray FOREO Silicone Cleaning Spray onto a cotton swab, and use it to gently wipe away any dirt and debris that has collected on the silicone filter.
  

NOTE: KIWI™ derma is NOT 100% waterproof, so do not clean the device under running water. Never use cleaning products containing alcohol, petrol or acetone, as they may irritate the skin and damage the silicone.
