SKIN CARE RECOMMANDATIONS
• Always clean the treatment area using a mild soap, rince skin
thoroughly and dry well before applying the electrodes and after
removing them.
• Clip excess hair with scissors – do not shave the treatment area.
• Your doctor or therapist may recommend the use of a skin prep
solution. Let it dry thoroughly before applying the electrodes.
• Avoid stretching the electrode over the skin as this could cause
"pulling stress". Apply the electrode from the center outward to
prevent this from happening.
• When removing the electrodes, pull in the direction of hair growth.
• It may be helpful to apply a skin lotion over the treatment area when
not using the electrodes.
• Never apply the electrodes over irritated or broken skin.
