INSTRUCTIONS FOR F-803 TWO- IN- ONE BEAUTY INSTRUMENT

GALVANIC Iono theory The galvanic current is a constant and direct current (D.C.) rectified to a safe low voltage level. This direct current flows in one direction only and has adjustable polarity. When current is flowing, the current will always be from one electrode to the other (red to black) regardless of polarity. Chemical changes are produced when the current is passed through certain solutions containing acids and salts. Chemical effects are also produced when a galvanic current is passed through the tissue and fluids of the body. The Galvanic machine has two important functions during a facial treatment. Its main function is to introduce water soluble products into the skin, and this process is called ionophoresis. When using a galvanic current, there are two poles with a selective negative (-) or positive (+) polarity output to choose from. Positive pole (ANODE) and Negative pole (CATHODE) • Produces acid reaction • Produces alkaline reaction • Soothes nerves • Stimulates nerves • Decreases blood supply • Increases blood supply • Hardens tissue • Softens tissue The positive pole may be used:

• To close the follicles (pores) after the facial treatment • To decrease redness, as in mild acne. • To prevent inflammation after comedone and blemish treatment • To force acid pH solutions, such as astringent, into the skin. The negative pole may be used for the following conditions: • To stimulate the circulation of blood to dry skin. • To force desincrustation lotion (alkaline pH solution) into the skin. Do not use the galvanic current over an area with any broken capillaries. Desincrustation: describes a process that softens and liquefies grease deposits, usually accumulation of sebum in the follicles. This sebum is usually filled with dead cells, makeup and grease. In order to perform a desincrustation treatment, an alkaline solution is used to penetrate the follicle to dissolve the debris. It is important to remove all traces of massage cream and cleanser from the skin before starting the desincrustation treatment, as any residual desincrusation lotion will emulsify the products and may force them into the follicles. Ionisation: is the forcing of a solution or cream into the skin. The ions of electricity from the positive pole will pass through a moisturising cream or lotion that has been applied to the client’s face and assure deeper penetration of the product into the skin. In order for the ionisation to work properly, the cream or lotion applied to the face must be water soluble (o/w), such as a moisturiser or ‘vanishing’ type cream. Heavy creams that do not dissolve in water (w/o) and leave an oily film on the skin will not penetrate due to their larger molecular structure.

⑦ HF On/Off button ⑧Polarity Selector button ⑨Galvanic On/Off button Method 1. Connect the required galvanic probes (roller or ball) to the output lead inserted in the galvanic output socket on the machine. Ensure this is done prior to switching on or powering up the machine. The client holds the metal pole (optional, you may have chosen a non earth bar model), and the therapist holds the handle of the roller/s. 2. Changing polarity of the probes is done by adjusting ‘Lead’ (fig 8) button between + (red LED) or – (green LED). The treatment area must be cleansed and dried before penetrating any products into the tissue. Turn the polarity to + and you can then introduce the chosen product to the treatment area. You may then cover the probe (or face)

with treatment gauze/muslin or sponge that has your product on it. You may use directly, with the probe/s onto the skins surface which should be generously covered with the desired product. 3. When conducting desincrustation, you should change the electrode polarity button to (-), then cover the probe with a piece of cotton/muslin or sponge that has been soaked in the alkaline solution (astringent) chosen for this treatment. This is done to balance the skin PH and aid in the breakdown and removal of debris, grease/oil from the skin. 4. Switch on the ‘Power’ button, select the operational polarity for the treatment ‘+ or –‘, using the ‘Lead’ button. Then turn the “Energy” level to the minimum (fig 6), next touch the treatment area with the probes and slowly adjust the “Energy” level to the appropriate intensity required (usually where the client feels a mild tingling sensation). Smoothly slide the chosen probes over the treatment area. NB: When using a cotton or linen with the probes (or as a shroud) it should be noted that: the more moisture (product) on the linen pads/mask, the more effective the treatment will be. Contra-indications • Pacemaker (any electrical or rhythmic heart regulating device) • Pregnancy • Thrombosis/Phlebitis • Skin diseases • Operations (within last 6 months) • Silicone implants • Hypersensitive or vascular skins CAUTION 1. After treatments, all metallic roller parts must be cleaned, sterilised and dried. Then stow in the accessory

holder to avoid any damage. 2. When the rollers are in negative polarity, the tingling sensation will be felt more intensively (for the same energy output

setting) than when set for positive polarity. It is advisable to start with min output and increase as required to ensure client comfort.

3. Always ensure clients remove any jewellery, and confirm that no metallic implants (pins, joints etc) have been done since their last treatment.

4. Pregnant women and people who have sensitive, injured, inflamed skin or blood capillary expansions should not have this treatment.

5. Any products or lotions (desincrustation fluid etc.) used with the galvanic machine, must be used with the correct polarity assigned to the product (negative or positive). While the polarity is positive, the lotions used should always be acidic (+) or when the polarity is negative, only lotions that are alkaline (-) should be used. If you are unsure of the products polarity, please use PH paper for verification if the lotion polarity is not clearly indicated; consult the supplier of the lotion product for confirmation.

6. Clients with the following health issues are not suitable to use this instrument, such as heart disease, infectious disease patients, hyper allergenic, hyper sensitive (see contra-indications).

7. Do not allow the machine probes to be in contact with each other for prolonged periods, as this may cause damage to your probes or machine.

8. Always ensure the skins surface is moist with a liberal amount of conductive product. 9. If the rollers on the probes fail to rotate, disassemble and clean thoroughly before reassembly. If the roller still

fails to rotate freely, contact your sales agent for details on replacing the probe. 10. Do not over stretch the probe cables (between the machine and hand piece) whilst in use, as you may cause damage. 11. Never splash water or products over the machine and ensure your hands are dry before touching the machine

control panel. Some products (acidic or alkaline) may damage the machine fascia. 12. Care should be taken not to damage the probe rollers. Never use abrasives to clean the probe rollers as

damage to the surface of the roller may scratch the surface of the skin during treatment; any damaged areas may also harbor bacteria and make sterilisation more difficult.

13. Should you encounter any issues during normal use (unexpected behavior) immediately shut down the machine and unplug from the mains power. Please contact your sales agent or authorised maintenance agent for inspection. Never open the machine for inspection as it contains no user serviceable parts.

14. Should the power cable become damaged do not use the system until a ‘genuine’ replacement has been acquired. For safety reasons only use authorised replacement parts.

HIGH FREQUENCY

Theory

The high frequency (H.F.) electrotherapy instrument generates a ‘high speed’ vibrating current, which converts to heat energy and kills bacteria creating a sterilising effect on the skin. The current is so fast, it will not cause muscle shrinkage despite giving physical stimulation. Functions • Accelerate blood circulation.

• Stimulate glandular activity.

• Helping the skins excretion and absorption.

• Promote increased metabolism.

• Kill dermal bacteria

• Generate heat ‘energy’ within the dermal tissue.

• Help the penetration of active substances (prescribed product) deeper into tissue.

Method

1) First choose the desired glass electrode and insert the metal cap end into the receiving slot (mouthpiece) of H.F handset, then push firmly inwards until the electrode is securely connected.

Glass electrode ‘areas of use’ a. Mushroom shaped electrode ---- for large areas of skin: face, forehead, neck, etc. b. Spade shaped electrode ---- for medium areas of skin: chin, etc. c. Ball shaped electrode ---- for small areas of skin: nose, etc. d. Straight electrode pipe ---- for indirect treatment.

2) Hold only the handle of the H.F. handset (try not to touch glass electrode with your hands or any metal objects) Next, power on the “Hi-Frequency” unit (fig 7) and ensure the ‘energy’ button (fig 5) is set to the minimum output setting. Then touch the treatment area with the glass electrode. You may then, slowly adjust the energy output dial (fig 5) and increase the output until a mild current (tingling sensation) is felt by the client. If the face is covered with product or treatment gauze, move the glass electrode pipe in an upward direction from client’s neck, slowly slide up to the chin, then cheek, nose and forehead - over lapping to ensure complete coverage. Note, that the electrodes may be changed as the treatment area changes. During the course of the treatment when changing electrodes, you should return the output to minimum level before swapping the electrodes, and then slowly adjust the energy level and return to the appropriate intensity required. The warmth generated in the tissue will give a comfortable and calming effect, whilst actively killing any bacterial presence on the epidermis. This is particularly effective for oily or Acne skin, to reduce secretion and increase tissue healing. At the end of the treatment, slowly reduce the ‘energy’ level (fig 5) to the minimum output and then switch off the ‘power’ button (fig 7), before removing the electrode from the clients face. Indirect usage Firstly, select and insert the ‘straight’ glass electrode into the H.F. handset. Give the handset to the client ensuring they hold the ‘glass electrode’ and not the handset. Then, power on the “Hi-Frequency” function (fig 7) and then gradually increase “H/Energy’ level (fig 5) to the desired intensity. Then carry out the facial massage or treatment using the prescribed product as required. During the whole treatment process, ensure you do not touch or come into contact with the glass electrode being held by the client. When you have completed the treatment process, it is vital that the H.F. intensity level (fig 5) is returned to its minimum setting and that, the ‘power output’ (fig 7) is switched off before removing the glass electrode from the client. Indirect usage will accelerate and comfort the skin simultaneously. Front panel

Contra-indications • Pacemaker (any electrical or rhythmic heart regulating device) • Pregnancy • Thrombosis/Phlebitis • Skin diseases • Operations (within last 6 months) • Silicone implants • Hypersensitive or vascular skins CAUTION 1. The glass electrode may ‘arc’ when it is approx within 1”/ 2.5cm distance from the skin while the H.F. instrument

is turned on. Please reduce the energy of H.F. whilst connecting with the skin. If the client still feels the ‘arc-ing’ and finds it disagreeable, you may cover the face with a small piece of dry cotton-gauze but do not use any nylon or synthetic (man-made) fibres.

2. To prevent ‘arc-ing’, always ensure the minimum output intensity is selected (or off) before touching the glass electrode to the client’s face. You may then slowly increase the Hi-Frequency energy output as desired.

3. Before removing the glass electrode from the skin, decrease the ‘energy’ to its minimum setting, then power off before removing from the skin.

4. When inserting or changing the glass electrodes, always ensure the power output is turned to minimum and that the power to the handset is switched off.

5. The glass electrodes must be kept clean & dry, and should be sterilised before & after each use. 6. Clients must not be allowed to wear any metallic objects or jewellery; all items should be removed prior to

commencement of any treatment. 7. High frequency treatments should not be carried out on pregnant women, or any person using a pace-maker

(any electrical or rhythmic heart regulating device). 8. Any products used with the H.F. machine for treatment, must not contain any alcohol or spirit based

substances to prevent accidental combustion from ‘arc-ing’. 9. Never touch the inner eye (eyeball) area with any H.F. electrode.

10. Never touch any part of the ‘metal holder’ within the neck of the H.F. handset whilst the machine is powered on. If for any reason (eg; to tighten fixing) you need to touch the ‘holder’, power off the machine and ‘unplug’ the handset from the machine first.

11. Do not place the HF handset near the machine unit (any items on the tower, especially the steamer) whilst the HF handset in discharging a current as the HF current may interfere with the normal function of the machines. If this should happen, power down the machines and main tower unit. Then restart as normal. Should any machine still fail to function correctly, it is possible that the HF current has damaged some of the more delicate circuitry used and you should contact your sales agent for further advice.
