THINGS TO NOTE

• Shave any excessive hair in the treatment area as it can create a tingling sensation.
• Microcurrent devices like BEAR™ 2 body must be used with a conductive serum. For optimal results, we recommend using FOREO SUPERCHARGED™ Body Serum — developed specifically for use with FOREO’s microcurrent body devices.
• Leave a thin, mask-like layer of FOREO SUPERCHARGED™ Body Serum on skin, so the device can glide smoothly. If treating many areas in one session, you can apply the serum to each area before you use the device on that area.
• Make sure that all four microcurrent spheres are touching your skin during your treatment.
