NORMAL SENSATIONS & OBSERVATIONS when using Tua Spa
Tua Spa is a professional grade, gentle yet potent, device. There are therefore
some sensations that diff erent individuals may experience which are normal for
the treatment. If in any doubt however please consult your doctor.
Sensitive skin
With Tua Spa, we have taken steps to accommodate those who have sensitive
skin or areas of skin sensitivity on their face and neck. Please refer to our guideli-
nes on how to adjust the performance modes to suit your requirements on page
21. If you have sensitive skin, our advice is to begin each treatment slowly and
with care, taking no longer than 1 minute to complete it in the fi rst instance, until
you are confi dent that you have selected a comfortable setting.
Whistling in the ear
In the SONIC modes some people are aware of a high pitched ‘whistling’ in the ear
when the modulator is positioned on the cheek in front of the ear. This is a normal
occurrence caused by the sonic vibrations and is harmless. To alleviate, change
down to an intermittent and/or lower intensity SONIC program. Alternatively,
move the tip of the modulator away from your ear to a point where the sensation
goes away and concentrate treatment on your main areas of concern.
Sensitive teeth
If you have sensitive teeth, you may sometimes feel a vibration in your teeth when
using the SONIC modes near to your mouth. This is a normal occurrence caused
by the gentle sonic vibrations and is harmless. If you wish to alleviate, try choo-
sing a more sensitive program or selecting a lower intensity level. Alternatively,
move the tip of the modulator away from your mouth to a point where the sen-
sation goes away.
Low pitch noise
You will hear a low pitch noise while using Tua Spa in MICRO mode. This is com-
pletely normal and indicates that the micro-current waves are being correctly
emitted.
Metallic taste in the mouth
It is normal for some people to be aware of some metallic taste in the mouth
when the modulator is positioned on the cheek or near to the mouth in either
MICRO or SONIC+MICRO mode. This is caused by a slightly acid saliva and the
metallic taste can occur at any time, not just with micro-current. It is a harmless
occurrence.
However if you wish to alleviate, try selecting a lower intensity level of micro-
current. Alternatively, move the tip of the modulator away from your mouth to a
point where the taste goes away.
‘Pinking’ eff ect
You may experience a temporary ‘pinking’ of the skin during or after performing
a treatment with Tua Spa because the skin is stimulated and blood supply is bo-
osted. This normally disappears after a short period of time. If this ‘pinking’ eff ect
is accompanied by any irritation, you should choose a more sensitive program or
select a lower intensity level. If in any doubt consult your doctor.
Pets
It is possible that if you have a pet in close proximity to you while performing
the SONIC and SONIC+MICRO treatments, they may be disturbed by the high
frequency ultrasound waves. If this happens, it is advisable to take them out of
the room.
IMPORTANT: caring for your Tua Spa
Remember to always clean the steel modulator after use
when
the device is
switched off (see page 39 for correct cleaning directions). Never place under a
running tap or immerse in water. Tua Spa should be thoroughly dry before storing
away after each treatment. Do not leave the modulator wet. Keep the modulator
covered with the modulator cap when not in use.
