If you have sensitive skin or experience skin irritation after using the
appliance with the normal brush head, we advise you to switch to the
sensitive brush head.

VisaPure cleanses your skin deeply and stimulates blood circulation. If
your skin is used to the treatment, you may experience slight skin
reactions like redness or skin tightness on occasion. If your skin is not
used to the treatment, these reactions may be stronger and can last
longer, but should disappear after some hours. To reduce these skin
reactions, you can shorten the treatment time, reduce the treatment
frequency and/or apply less pressure on the skin during treatment.
After 2 weeks of daily usage, your skin should have adapted to treatment
with VisaPure. However, if you still experience strong skin reactions after
2 weeks of daily usage, we advise you to stop using VisaPure and give
your skin some time to recover. You can continue your treatment once
the skin reactions have disappeared, using reduced treatment time and
frequency. If the strong skin reactions reoccur, we advise you to contact
your doctor.
-
Do not use any of the attachments if they are damaged or broken to
avoid injuries.
General

skin.
