UNIQUE FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

HoMedics Microdermabrasion brings professional salon skincare into your own home. The  diamond tip works with a gentle but powerful suction action to remove dead cells from the skin  surface, revealing and stimulating the fresh skin layer beneath. Perfect for restoring youthful  radiance to the skin; improving skin tone and texture, smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reducing the appearance of age spots and sun damage. Use regularly to maintain young and fresh looking skin.

CLINICALLY TESTED – Salon quality microdermabrasion device

4 INTENSITY LEVELS – Adjusts for maximum comfort and effectiveness

2 DIAMOND TIPS – Normal and Sensitive tips included

BLACK WOOL FILTERS – 50 black wool filters included

RECHARGEABLE – Charging Base, Charging Cord and Adapter included

HOW TO USE

BEFORE TURNING THE UNIT ON

• Make sure the unit is fully charged

• Confirm the placement of the black wool filter

• Install the desired Diamond Tip on the Hand Unit

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Before turning the unit on, connect the charging base to a household electrical outlet using the  charging cord and adapter. 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. When the level indicator LED flashes red, it indicates that the product needs  charging.

BLACK WOOL FILTERS

A new black wool filter must be installed prior to the first use and before each use of the device.  The filter collects dead skin cells and should be disposed of after use and then replaced.  NOTE: Using the device without a filter will allow debris and dead skin cells to enter the motor,  shortening the life of the product.

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. 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.

Note: Avoid the sensitive areas immediately above and below the eye.

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 the POWER  BUTTON 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 illustration.

• Place the diamond tip flat against the skin until you feel suction. 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 too firmly as this may cause some irritation. In some areas it can help to hold the skin  taught with the other hand (ie, around the eyes).

• The illustration 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.

• Discard used black wool filter and replace with a new one.

• Wash your face with cold water to remove any remaining dead skin cells, then apply your preferred  moisturizer.

NOTE: Avoid using AHA (acid based) moisturizers 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.

OTHER BODY AREAS

• 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.
• Make sure 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. There could be some short-term  redness or sensitivity after treatment, but this will soon subside. If treatment is uncomfortable, 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.
