• 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.
