Likewise, if you have a skin reaction when first using the collagen and retinol patches, do not continue treatment.

FARADIC FACIAL TONING

Practised for over 40 years in beauty salons, faradic facial toning uses EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) to gently contract and relax facial muscles to help tone, lift and tighten. this stimulation also increases local circulation, bringing more oxygen to the skin cells and removing toxins more rapidly, to leave the skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Important: use a mirror during treatment to help with positioning.

trEatMEnt ZonES

FOREHEAD AND BROW

Position one contact just above the end of your eyebrow, centred between the eyebrow and hairline. angle the unit so the other contact sits centrally between the brow and hairline.

CHEEKS

Position contact resting under and following the diagonal slope of the cheekbone. you may need to adjust the position slightly to find the best contact points for your specific face shape, this is when you have a strong contraction with less tingling.

UNDER EYE use the line where your delicate under eye skin meets your eye socket bone as a guide, position one contact on this line and directly under the centre of your eye. the other contact should follow the contour outwards.

NASO LABIAL naso labial lines occur between the nose and corners of the mouth. Position one contact on the

‘apple’ of your cheek and the other diagonally below this following the natural line and parallel to your naso labial lines. again, you may need to slightly adjust the position until you find the strongest contraction.

4

UPPER & LOWER LIP

Position contacts symmetrically just above lip edge. increase power to give a good contraction. repeat this just under the lower lip. if your lips appear to pull unevenly to one side this is natural.

CHIN

Follow naso labial line diagonally down and position contact either side on the edge of the jaw. increase power to find the best contraction. you may need to move the position slightly.

NECK

Position contacts in a line below the earlobe. For best position, keep contacts in line but slide the unit forward or backward slightly until you find the strongest contraction.

Move to the centre of the neck just under the jawline. increase the power and slide the unit back slightly until you find the best position.

BEHIND EAR

Position contacts just off your hairline as high up as you can without touching your ears. Great for a really strong contraction right through the neckline.

uSinG your unit

For best results we recommend following the faradic facial toning regime every day for the first few weeks, alternating between programmes 1 and 2 each day. afterwards, use as required to maintain good tone.

to begin with the pulses give a mild tingling sensation and as the intensity is increased you will notice muscle contractions. the muscle contractions are smooth and each contraction will start with a slow rise, hold itself in a contracted position for a few seconds and then gently relax. there are 17 power levels in total. We recommend starting on a low power level on each treatment area and building up until muscle contractions are felt.

PROGRAMME 1 - FIRMING rhythmic muscle contractions to condition muscles with a short interval between each pulse. Muscle contractions last 2 seconds followed by a 3 second pause. there are 17 power levels in total.

We recommend starting on a low power level on each treatment area and build up until muscle contractions are felt.

PROGRAMME 2 - TAP TONING rapid stimulating action. the pulsing massage action lasts 5 seconds followed by a 3 second pause.

STEP 1 apply a generous amount of conductive gel to each of the ball contacts. apply plenty of conductive gel to ensure good contact with the skin.

STEP 2

Turn the unit on by pressing the programme/on/off button, the light will turn green. the unit will start in programme 1, the programme/on/off light will flash once.

Note: To select programme 2, press the programme/ on/off button once more. The green light will flash twice to indicate programme 2 is selected.

STEP 3 onto clean skin, position both ball contacts for treating the first area.

uSinG your unit

STEP 4 increase power by pressing the (+) button and move the position of the ball contacts if necessary until you feel definite muscles contractions. if this is uncomfortable, decrease power by pressing the (–) button.

Note: you will need to adjust the intensity level when treating different areas of the face.

STEP 5

Hold the LiFt unit in position for 60 seconds to complete treatment of the area.

after 60 seconds, reduce the power level before moving onto the next treatment area.

Handy tiPS

• Your teeth may feel slightly sensitive during treatment, this is perfectly normal.

• Effective face toning and firming is based on a light and gentle stimulating massage on your face muscles. Should you experience any discomfort, you should add more conductive gel, reduce the intensity by pressing the (-) button, or remove the unit from the area being treated.

• Start at a low level to begin with until you get used to the sensation.

• The forehead requires higher intensity levels. Press the (-) button several times before returning to the facial area.

STEP 6 after use, switch the unit off. Press and hold the

Programme/On/Off button for 2 seconds.

Note: if unit is left on, it will automatically switch off after 10 minutes.

KNOW YOUR MUSCLE GROUPS

While using your face, you may be aware of certain muscles being exercised. this is a helpful guide to help you decide which ones they are?

NASALIS used to twitch the nose and flare the nostrils.

FRONTALIS draws scalp forward, raises eyebrows and wrinkles brow.

Very important for expression, this muscle raises the brows and wrinkles the forehead.

ORBICULARIS OCULI closes the eyelid for sleeping, blinking and winking.

LEVATOR PALPEBRAE SUPERIORIS opens the eyelid.

CORRUGATOR SUPERCILII

Wrinkles forehead.

MASSETER and

TEMPORALIS

Works with the Masseter muscle to open and close the mouth.

ZYGOMATICUS MINOR and

ZYGOMATICUS MAJOR and

LEVATOR LABII SUPERIOR

Work together to control the upper lip, so is very important for lots of expressions such as smiling and sneering.

ORBICULARIS ORIS

Sometimes known as the kissing muscle because it is used to pucker the lips.

PLATYSMA draws lower lip downward and to the side used in expressions of sadness or fright.

BUCCINATOR

Presses teeth together. Facilitates blowing, sucking and whistling actions and assists with chewing.

LEVATOR ANGULI ORIS

Lifts corners of the mouth to form a smile.

DEPRESSOR ANGULI ORIS and

DEPRESSOR LABII INFERIORIS affects facial expression by effecting tiny movements around the lower lip and mouth.

MENTALIS

Lifts and wrinkles skin of chin and protrudes lower lip.

STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID rotates the head and flexes the neck.

IONTOPHORESIS INFUSION

iontophoresis infusion uses small micro currents to carry the active ingredients for skin repair and rejuvenation deep into the skin. this transdermal infusion greatly increase the effectiveness of topically applied treatments which would otherwise find it difficult to penetrate skin.

LiFt gel patches contain positively charged collagen and retinol as anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing agents. When placing the positive contact on the patch and the negative contact on the skin, these active ingredients are directly ‘pulled’ into the skin.

Short-term visible results can usually be seen almost immediately.

With regular use the effects can become long lasting. We recommend collagen and retinol patches are only used once in 24 hours. if you have sensitive skin we would recommend leaving 48 hours between treatments.

the patches are profiled to fit under the eye, across the forehead, around the mouth and across the chin.

2 STEP 2

Place one patch onto the area to be treated. Place the other patch on the opposite side of the face.

IMPORTANT: For infusion you must remember which ball contact is which polarity. The (+) ball contact, should remain on the patch while the (-) ball contact remains on the skin.

3 STEP 3 apply a generous amount of conductive gel to the (-) ball contact. always apply plenty of conductive gel to ensure good contact with the skin.

continue treatment by alternating between patches for 10–30 minutes (5–15 minutes on each patch).

STEP 7 the patches may remain on the face for up to 1 hour to continue gently infusing.

after removing patches, you can massage any residue into your skin.

PatcHES inForMation

• The majority of the infusion happens in the first 5–15 minutes on each treatment area, but the patches may remain on the face for up to 1 hour.

• Retinol easily breaks down, therefore please store your patches in a cool dry place away from sunlight. you may even prefer to store them in the refrigerator to have a cooling gel patch for treatment.

• Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. After use, we recommend using a high factor sunscreen.

• Ensure patches are well adhered to the face before treatment so they don’t peel off.

• Use a gentle motion when moving the ball contacts over the patch and the skin.

• The patches are designed for single use only.
