Some users may experience a metallic taste in their mouth during the use of your device,
resulting from stimulation and varying sensitivity around the mouth. If you notice this condition constantly without the use of your device, consult your healthcare provider.

The NuFACE Mini Device is intended for cosmetic use on the face as described.

GETTING STARTED

Follow these important steps before using your new device.

Remove your Mini Device and power adapter from the box.
Connect the power adapter to the device and plug into the wall outlet, safely away from any
source of water, to charge your device. Note: The Mini Device will not turn on when it is charging.
Place your Mini Device on a counter or table top, away from any source of water.
Important: Charge your Mini Device for 12 hours before the first use. The lights will increasingly illuminate, indicating that your device is charging. All the lights will stay illuminated when device is fully charged.
Important: Test your skin to make sure you are not sensitive to the NuFACE Microcurrent
Activator. To do so, rub a dime-sized amount of Microcurrent Activator on your forearm and leave for 15-30 minutes before washing it off. If an allergic reaction (rash, redness, etc) develops, immediately contact NuFACE for recommendations on alternative NuFACE formulas. You should not initiate treatment with the Mini Device until your reaction to the Microcurrent Activator has been resolved.
Remember to take a before photo of your cleansed face in a well-lit room. After your first
treatment, take an after photo and repeat the process in the same well-lit room every 4 weeks to track your results.

NUFACE MICROCURRENT ACTIVATOR
The essential first step to your microcurrent treatment to ensure optimal results.

Important: Always apply Microcurrent Activator when using the Mini Device. Refer to packaging for use by date.

TREATMENT AREAS
The Mini Device is designed to stimulate large surface areas of the face and neck, such as the
jawline, cheekbones and forehead. Avoid applying the device to the midline of the neck. Follow
instructions below for best results, and refer to your Quick Start for more detailed images.

TREATMENT TECHNIQUE
Using light to medium pressure, lift one side of the face and neck at a time using a gliding motion.

Important: Always ensure that both spheres are in contact with the skin during treatment.
Refer to your Quick Start for basic glides treatment for the neck, cheeks, and forehead. For more
advanced treatment options and holds, visit our website at MyNuFACE.com

HOW TO USE YOUR MINI DEVICE

Get ready to Tone, Lift, and Contour.

The instructions below are designed to provide the most effective results when followed correctly.

Cleanse your face and neck with an oil-free cleanser. Men should shave before treatment — facial hair can interfere with the conductivity of the spheres. Note: Any cream, lotion, self tanner, and/or oil-based products on the skin can block the microcurrent.
Important: Apply a mask-like layer of the NuFACE Microcurrent Activator section by section as you treat. Note: Always apply a NuFACE Microcurrent Activator when using your Mini Device. Reapply if skin becomes dry during treatment to avoid any uncomfortable sensations.
Remove the power adapter from the device and turn it ON by pressing the ON/OFF button. An ascending audible beep is emitted notifying you that your device is ON.
Adjust the intensity level to your comfort by progressively pressing the ON/OFF button
to increase or decrease the microcurrent output. As you toggle between the 3 intensity levels, an audible beep is emitted and the number of illuminated blue lights will change.
Intensity Levels:
• Minimum Intensity: Left 2 Lights Illuminated
• Medium Intensity: Middle 3 Lights Illuminated
• Maximum Intensity: Right 2 Lights Illuminated
Place the Mini Device in direct contact with the treatment area. Always keep both spheres
in contact with the skin during treatment to keep microcurrent flowing. Using light to medium pressure, begin your treatment. Note: Facial skin sensitivity varies from person to person. It’s completely normal to not feel any sensation at all. If you do experience tingling, add more NuFACE Microcurrent Activator to the area you are treating. The Mini Device will NOT contract the muscles when used as instructed.
The device emits a dual-tone beep every five (5) seconds to indicate when to move to the next treatment area. The beep will change to two (2) low tones when the battery needs to be charged.
After treatment is complete, massage remaining NuFACE Microcurrent Activator into skin for additional skincare benefits.
The Mini Device will automatically turn off after approximately 5 minutes of use. A descending audible beep is emitted notifying you that your device is turning off.

See the “CLEANING” section for proper cleaning instructions.

TREATMENT FREQUENCY

Use 5 minutes a day.
For the first 60 days, use 5 days per week.
After 60 days, use 2-3 times per week for maintenance.

RESULTS
Results may vary based on skin type and skin condition.
