Charging the battery
When the level indictor LED ashes red, the product needs charging. Connect the
charging base to the mains using the USB power lead and the appropriate plug.
Place the handle in the charging base and press down rmly. The LED lights will
ash to indicate that charging is taking place. When charging is complete all the
lights will stay on. It takes 4 hours for a full charge, which will provide 90-120
minutes use, dependent on power levels used.
Filter Fitting and Replacement
For correct operation it is very important that a new black wool lter is tted
before each use of the device. The lter collects dead skin cells and should be
disposed of after use and then replaced. Using the device without a lter will
allow debris and dead skin cells to enter the motor, shortening the life of the
product and invalidating the guarantee. (Fig.1)
What to Expect
Regular microdermabrasion treatments can both restore and maintain a
youthful appearance to the skin. We advise starting slowly with just one or two
treatments a week, then building up to treatments every other day if desired.
During use you should feel a gentle suction eect as the tip moves across the skin
and some people may also notice the slight coarseness of the diamond tip.
Depending on your skin type, you may experience some reddening or increased
sensitivity after treatment. This is perfectly normal and usually subsides within
a few hours. You may wish to consider this and make your rst treatment at the
end of the day rather than just before going out.
Adverse reactions are rare, but if skin becomes unduly inamed or irritated, stop
using the device immediately.
Facial Treatment Routine
Wash and dry your face
Remove the handle from the charging base and t your choice of diamond
tip with a new black wool lter.
Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn the unit on. Press
again as required to increase the power level, as indicated by the LEDs. It is
recommended to start on level 1 for the rst treatment and to progress to a
higher level if comfortable. See also MAX recommended levels in the above
diagrams
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
(Fig.1)
NOTE: Avoid the sensitive
areas immediately above
and below the eye.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
When the level indictor LED flashes red, the product
needs charging. Connect thecharging base to the
detachable supply unit model SAW06C-050-1000AB
provided with this appliance using the USB charging
cable. Place the handle in the charging base and press
down firmly. The LED lights will flash to indicate that
charging is taking place. When charging is complete
all the lights will stay on.
It takes 4 hours for a full charge, which will provide
90-120 minutes use, dependent on power levels used.
FILTER FITTING AND REPLACEMENT
For correct operation it is very important that a new
black wool filter is fitted before each use of the
device. The filter collects dead skin cells and should
be disposed of after use and then replaced. Using
the device without a filter will allow debris and dead
skin cells to enter the motor, shortening the life of the
product and invalidating the warranty. (See below)
WHAT TO EXPECT
Regular microdermabrasion treatments can both
restore and maintain a youthful appearance to the
skin. We advise starting slowly with just one or two
treatments a week, then building up to treatments
every other day if desired.
During use you should feel a gentle suction eect
as the tip moves across the skin and some people
may also notice the slight coarseness of the
diamond tip. Depending on your skin type, you may
experience some reddening or increased sensitivity
after treatment. This is perfectly normal and usually
subsides within a few hours. You may wish to consider
this and make your first treatment at the end of the day
rather than just before going out. Adverse reactions
are rare, but if skin becomes unduly inflamed or
irritated, stop using the device immediately.
FACIAL TREATMENT ROUTINE
• Wash and dry your face
Remove handle from the charging base and fit your
choice of diamond tip with a new black wool filter.
Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds
to turn the unit on. Press again as required to
increase the power level, as indicated by the
LEDs. It is recommended to start on level 1 for the
first treatment and to progress to a higher level if
comfortable. See also MAX recommended levels in
the above diagrams.
Place the diamond tip flat against the skin until you
feel suction then smooth motion, covering the same
area no more than 2-3 times in one treatment. Do not
press hard. In some areas it can help to hold the skin
taught with the other hand (eg. around the eyes).
The diagram above will help you establish an
eective facial routine.

AFTER TREATMENT COOLING SURFACE
Press and hold the cooling button for 1 second.
A blue LED will glow indicating the cooling surface
is activated.
Apply cooling surface to the treated area to soothe
the skin post-treatment.
DO NOT hold the cooling surface on the same
area of skin for more than 10 seconds. The product
is designed to be moved continuously across the
surface of the skin.
Press and hold the cooling button for 1 second to
turn the cooling surface o.
NOTE: the cooling surface is equipped with a 2.5
min auto-o feature.
NOTE: the cooling surface operates independently.
It is normal for the unit to feel warm when using the
cooling surface.
AFTER TREATMENT
Press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds
to turn o device.
Wash your face with cold water to remove any
remaining dead skin cells and then apply your
preferred moisturiser. NOTE: Avoid using AHA (acid
based) moisturisers on the day of treatment.
Depending on your skin type, you may experience
some reddening or increased sensitivity after
treatment. This is perfectly normal and usually
subsides within a few hours.
Avoid direct sun exposure after treatment, consider
applying a stronger sunscreen as required.
Always, dispose of the used black wool filter and
replace with a new filter ready for next use.
Remove dead skin cells and debris from the diamond
tip using the brush provided. We also recommend
the periodic use of an ultrasonic cleaner for deep
cleaning the diamond tip, especially if it starts to feel
smooth or less eective.
OTHER TREATMENTS
Other areas of the body can also be treated 2-3 times
a week. For example, neck, chest, hands etc. When
treating larger areas, replace the black wool filter part
way through the treatment in order to maintain the
level of suction. Aim to cover the same area no more
than 2-3 times in one treatment.
FAQ:
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE THE PRODUCT?
It’s best to start slowly – usually just once a week, then
build up to 2 or 3 times a week if this is comfortable for
your skin.
WILL IT HURT?
No. Treatment should not be painful. Depending on the
sensitivity of your skin, you may feel slight discomfort
from the diamond tip as it moves across the skin and
there could be some short term redness or sensitivity
after treatment, but this will soon subside. If treatment
is uncomfortable, then you may need to use a lower
power setting or switch to the sensitive diamond tip.
CAN I USE THE PRODUCT IN COMBINATION
WITH ANTI-AGING CREAMS/SERUMS?
If your anti-aging cream or serum contains AHA (or
acid) then it should not be used on the same day as
the microdermabrasion treatment, but can be used on
non-treatment days. Non-AHA (acid free) anti-aging
products can be used at any time.
THE PRODUCT DOES NOT SWITCH ON
The power button has to be pressed continuously for
2-3 seconds to turn the product on. If you try this and it
still doesn’t work, then it may need recharging.
See ‘CHARGING THE BATTERY’
THE PRODUCT SEEMS TO BE LOSING POWER
This can happen if the black wool filter is not replaced
after each treatment. Try fitting a new filter. Also check
the tip to ensure that the plastic part of the tip has no
cracks or damage. Check that the two rubber o-rings
are in place on the nozzle end of the unit (where the
tip fits over).
THE DIAMOND TIP NO LONGER
SEEMS ROUGH
The diamond tip can accumulate skin cells over time
which may start to make it feel smooth and reduce its
eectiveness. If this happens we recommend cleaning
the diamond tip in an Ultrasonic Cleaner. These are
either available to purchase, or jewellery stores oer
a cleaning service. If using the product regularly you
may need to do this several times a year to maintain
optimum eectiveness.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE:
TO STORE

inside the storage case. Store case in a safe, dry place,

TO CLEAN
Always unplug before cleaning the unit. Never use
liquids or abrasive cleaners to clean the housing of the
unit or case. Wipe o case with damp cloth.
