VisaCare enhances the absorption of your creams and facial masks. Due to this enhanced uptake a
negative skin reaction can appear. The advice is to not change between creams during the first
2-4 weeks of use of VisaCare. When you start to use a new cream after this period, first test this
cream on a small area. Do not continue to use this cream if there is a negative skin reaction when
applying it to the VisaCare treated skin. When starting treatment, or restarting after discontinuing for
more than 2 weeks, begin again with the sensitive tip. This will allow your skin to once again become
used to the treatment.
Contraindications and other warnings
This appliance has been developed to address the first signs of facial ageing. As the epidermal skin
layer becomes thinner over the years due to extrinsic and intrinsic factors, rough skin and signs of
photodamage become more prominent. The focus of this appliance is facial skin (excluding the area
underneath and above the eyes).
