Preparing For Use; Preparation; Using The Appliance - Philips VisaCare SC6220 Mode D'emploi

Preparing for use

Make sure you have charged the appliance for 8 hours before you use it for the first time.

Preparation

Always clean and gently dry your face until it is completely dry.
Note: The appliance is intended for dry use only. Do not use it on a wet face or in the shower or bathtub.
Note: Use the QR-code on the front cover or follow the link to watch the online video for instructions on
correct use of the appliance.

Using the appliance

Note: Use the appliance twice a week. Using the appliance more often may cause skin irritation.
1 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance (Fig. 6).
2 When you use the appliance for the first time, test the treatment tip on your forearm before
you use it on your face. Make a pass with the appliance and then wait for approximately one
hour. If a possible skin reaction diminishes, you can safely use the tip on your face.
Note: Always visually check the treatment tip before use to see if it is damaged. A damaged treatment tip
scratches your skin. If the treatment tip is damaged, replace it.
Note: Do not use the appliance without the treatment tip as this does not benefit your skin and may
cause an unwanted skin reaction.
3 Put the treatment tip on your face in such a way that you feel the suction. Make sure there is
always full skin contact between the treatment tip and the area to be treated. However,
do not press the treatment tip hard onto the skin's surface (Fig. 7).
4 Gently move the treatment tip in straight lines. Start on the chin, and then move to the
cheeks, forehead and nose. Make sure you treat all areas.
Tip: Use your other hand to stretch and hold the skin and move the appliance away from your hand.
This makes it easier to achieve proper suction, especially on the temples and cheeks.
See facial map in the back of the user manual for detailed instructions on how to move the appliance
across your face.
Do not move the appliance over large moles, tattoos, port wine stains or permanent makeup.
Do not treat the skin below or above the eyes, as it is thin and delicate. When you treat fine lines
on the side of the eye, put a finger of the other hand in the corner of the eyelid and move the
appliance away from the finger towards the temple.
Note: Do not hold the treatment tip in one spot when you have placed it on the skin.
5 Depending on the condition of your skin, start to treat each area 2-4 times. When your skin
is used to the treatment, increase to 4-6 passes or start to use the normal treatment tip.
When you use the normal treatment tip, start to treat each area 3-4 passes. When your skin
is used to the treatment, increase to 4-6 passes.
6 When you have treated all areas, press the on/off button to switch off the appliance.
A complete treatment takes approximately 5 minutes (Fig. 8).
Depending on your skin type, you may experience a warm and tingling sensation and your skin may
become slightly red. This is only a temporary effect that should diminish within 5-10 minutes.
