Operation Procedure
• Operators are advised to always wear a mask and gloves while performing microdermabrasion.
• Be sure a new nozzle is properly attached to the tubing. New tubing is recommended if any medical skin problem is noted.
• Clean the nozzle with a mild disinfectant (you may also autoclave the “blue” reusable nozzles).
• Plug the tip opening with your thumb and turn the vacuum control knob to reach a 10” Hg setting.
• Start with the Crystal Flow Control Nut screwed down fully (maximum flow).
• Place the tip opening against the skin and crystal will begin to agitate in the Crystal Capsule
™
(as described on page 7) and begin
flowing through the nozzle.
• Maintain nozzle opening in full immediate contact with the skin to achieved smooth results.
• Increase or decrease vacuum level depending on patient’s tolerance and the manufacturers recommended settings.
• Increase or decrease crystal flow, depending on results and patient tolerance, by turning thread nut. If less crystal flow is desired,
unscrew the nut until you see a slight decrease of the crystal bubbling inside the capsule, or no movement at all, which indicates
minimum volume of crystal flow.
• Once satisfactory results are obtained, note the vacuum settings for that patient for future treatments.
• Upon completion of the microdermabrasion treatment, turn the machine off and clean according to recommended cleaning pro
-
tocol.
• Clean outside of machine with a mild disinfectant only.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL
, which may damage unit and filter cover.
• Proceed with an after-treatment regiment as recommended by your skin care specialist.
Safety
• When the nozzle opening is in full immediate contact with the skin, a vacuum is created thereby activating the pressure system.
The vacuum may be visually confirmed by watching the clean crystal, in the top half of the pre-filled sealed capsule agitate
throughout.
• The airflow from the system begins at the vacuum port post, then passes through the Crystal Capsule
™
and carries the Micro-Crystal
through the tubing to the nozzle. The specially engineered nozzle allows for uniform, steady and effective abrading action. Once
the abrading media is passed over the skin, it is drawn away and suctioned back into the bottom half of the sealed waste receptacle
portion of the Crystal Capsule
™
.
• Crystal emission should be activated only when the nozzle is in full immediate contact with the treatment area. Immediately begin
continuously moving the nozzle over the treatment area.
Warning
•
Holding the nozzle in STATIONARY
CONTACT with the skin can cause
SERIOUS DEEP
ABRASION
,
BLEEDING
AND
SCARRING!
•
The Gio Peel Microdermabrasion machine is a closed loop type system, which prevents cross-contamination. The nozzle may be
disinfected. Disposable nozzles eliminate the need for sterilization, but could be used a couple of times if you have an ultra violet
or steam sterilizer.
• Insert capsule fully onto the post with both o-rings down inside the opening in the capsule (fig. 8).
Important
• Never reuse crystal from the waste receptacle half of the capsule. Dispose of the entire Crystal Capsule
™
into a trash receptacle,
which you can seal to prevent accidental inhalation. Reuse the yellow and orange caps and tape over the vacuum posts opening
to help seal up the capsule before disposing for added protection against spills or inhalation.
• Gloves and masks are recommended for the operator during use and cleaning.
• Always protect the patient’s eyes from crystals. The patient should remove contact lenses and eyeglasses.
Eyes must be protected
with cotton balls, goggles, tanning eyecups or a combination of these
.
