THE AGELESS WONDERTM Facial Muscle Stimulation System is indicated
for the improvement of facial muscle tone, and for the tightening and firming of the
facial skin. Not for use on injured or otherwise impaired skin or muscles, or use in any
therapy or for the treatment, diagnosis, prevention or cure of any medical conditions
or diseases.
The device must only be used for the purpose stated – namely for the stimulation of
facial muscles as indicated in the instruction manual for personal beauty purposes.
All other uses shall be deemed improper.
How the AGELESS WONDERTM Facial Stimulation System works
The AGELESS WONDERTM is a battery-powered portable EMS device intended for the
improvement of facial muscle tone and for the tightening and rming of the facial skin.
It uses specially designed bi-polar low voltage micro-current impulses to stimulate your
facial muscles into contracting.
The face is one of the hardest muscle areas to train and work out. With the AGELESS
WONDERTM, you can contract the muscle bers of your face safely and effectively to
increase blood ow and exercise your facial muscles so they become rmer and give your
face a more lifted appearance.
1.0 INDICATIONS FOR USE
1.1 IMPORTANT! Introduction and Guidelines
Please read the complete instruction manual before you use the AGELESS
WONDERTM. It will give you a better understanding of how the device works, and
you’ll be able to enjoy the best results.
5

The AGELESS WONDERTM will work on some muscles that probably have never been
stimulated before. The AGELESS WONDERTM really works and delivers results. However,
consistency is the key. We recommend you use the AGELESS WONDERTM for 15 minutes
a day on each selected area 4 times a week for at least 4 weeks.
How to achieve the best possible results
Clinical research trials have been conducted to test the effectiveness of the AGELESS
WONDERTM device.
The performance of the AGELESS WONDERTM device has been enhanced with 6 pre-
programmed modes for ease of use, with maximum benets and results. The programs
are specically designed for 5 different facial areas.
The AGELESS WONDERTM is a uniquely designed device that enables you to stimulate
the facial branch nerve in the cheek bones, with the unique headset. You can disconnect
the application wand with a simple click to use the wand for handheld targeted
application in other facial areas.
This gives you the convenience of target-specic operation and twice the stimulation
when applying it to the most important facial branch nerve and the exibility to stimulate
other important areas of your face.
When you switch the device on, the LCD display will light up indicating that your
AGELESS WONDERTM is working properly.
Choose a facial area you want to stimulate and select the corresponding program and
intensity level as described on the workout pages.
The device comes with 4 pre-inserted conductive sponges. Sponge replacement is
described later in this manual. Apply a little
water until the sponge is wet to the touch.
When applying the AGELESS WONDERTM
to your face, you will feel a slight tingling
sensation. Adjust the intensity of the
electrical pulse by pressing the High/Low
button (+/-). The LCD will indicate the
chosen intensity level.
In order to obtain proper
stimulation, move the headset
and wand until you can feel your muscles
responding properly. Increase the intensity
until your facial muscles are noticeably
twitching and tone the unit down one step
after you have reached this point.

2.2 LCD DISPLAY
The facial muscles and skin are one of the hardest muscle groups and areas in
your body to tone, and the new AGELESS WONDERTM is ideally suited to assist
in this difficult task. In 15 minutes, you can contract your muscles with up to 3,000
contractions just by selecting program mode 1.
With the normal recommended use of the AGELESS WONDERTM for 15 minutes
each day for each specified area, you will see noticeable improvement of your
facial tone after 4 weeks of regular use. A healthy diet, combined with the modern
technology of the AGELESS WONDERTM, is the best way to achieve these results.
The AGELESS WONDERTM generates small, gentle electrical pulses that are
delivered onto your skin through the application wand. These electrical pulses
activate your underlying motor nerves, resulting in muscle contractions. The
AGELESS WONDERTM sends a signal to your muscle to cause it to contract and
then relax. These impulses are designed to mimic the natural nerve signal and to
obtain efficient, pleasant contractions, which repeat again and again. It stimulates
these impossible-to-exercise facial muscles and it is easy to use!
The AGELESS WONDERTM requires 2 x AAA batteries (included). Please make
sure to insert them in the right direction with the (+) marking matching the
indication in the battery compartment.

Power with 30 Intensity Levels
Push the button when in the Power Mode intensity level. Level 1 is the rst
intensity you can feel. The pre-set value is 0 after choosing your program in the mode
setting. After increasing the intensity, you will notice a tingling sensation prior to the
muscle contracting. Once the muscle is contracting, you will feel pleasant and relaxed.
Adjust the intensity according to your comfort level.
The intensity level has 30 steps per channel. With every push of the button, you
increase / decrease the intensity by one step.
Press and hold the button for 1.5 seconds to enter fast scroll mode.
IMPORTANT:
The AGELESS WONDERTM device has several built-in safety features:
A) AUTO OFF: After approximately 30 seconds, the AUTO OFF function will turn the
device off, if it is not in use.
B) KEY LOCK TOGGLE ON/OFF: Press and hold the button together with
the “+” button for 2 seconds, while the unit is operating and you are in intensity
mode. The LCD will show the key lock icon.
2.8 INTENSITY
For best results we recommend to set the intensity at a low level. To find a good training
intensity, increase the intensity to the maximum tolerable level and reduce it 1-3 levels
from there, until you feel comfortable and the unit is still generating strong muscle contractions.
As everyone is created differently, exact positioning of the AGELESS WONDERTM
application wand will vary from person to person. The ideal positioning is adjacent
to the motor nerve. While the device is operating, you will be able to move the
application wand to find the most effective placement. As you move it around, you
will notice contractions becoming either stronger or weaker. The best position is
when the strongest contraction is felt.
Wand Placement
2120

If no or not enough water is applied on the AGELESS WONDERTM sponge, or the
application wand is not placed tightly against the skin, an uncomfortable tingling
sensation can occur. This can also happen if there is excessive oil on the skin. Be-
fore use, ensure that the sponges are wet to the touch and that your skin is free of
all makeup and excessive oils.
If you experience skin redness or irritation after removing the device from your skin,
this could be caused by drying out of the sponge during a session. Ensure that the
sponges are kept moist at all times.
3.0 CARE AND CLEANING
3.1 IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
• Do not immerse the device, the application wand or the headset
in water!
• Clean accessories with a slightly wet sponge with detergent and
wipe with a cloth.
• Clean the sponge by soaking it in water with disinfectant diluted
in water at 1/10th strength.
Timer
Default time is 5 minutes. Press the button once to increase or decrease the time
increment. Maximum time is 20 minutes.
1. To switch the device off, press and hold the button for 2 seconds.
2. To turn the sound on/off, press and hold the and “–” button for 2 seconds.
The display will show the ‘sound off’ icon.
Auto Functions
The device will automatically turn off after 30 seconds if not in use. The AGELESS
WONDERTM device has an auto-timer. It will automatically switch off after the chosen timer
setting. If you change the exercise mode during an e.g. 15 minute exercise period, the
timer will continue to count-down from the original leftover time and not re-start the initial
timer setting.
What to do if you do not feel any muscle contractions
If no muscle contractions are felt, move the application wand slowly around the
area you want to target. Make sure the sponge of the application wand is moist
to the touch. Gradually increase the PULSE INTENSITY by pushing the +button
until muscle contraction is felt.
The AGELESS WONDERTM is a great way to tone, lift and firm your face. It may
take a few moments of practice to locate the application wand correctly and apply
the ideal pressure that will produce the best results for you.
2.9 TIMER
If the sponge of the application wand is not moist enough, or the skin contact is not
sufficient, you may experience an uncomfortable tingling sensation. The same may
happen if the sponge is worn and needs to be replaced.
2322

Q. When should I notice any difference?
A. Depending on the frequency of use, you should start noticing a difference within
2-3 weeks.
Q. I am getting a prickling sensation but no contractions.
A. Move the application wand slightly to find the right trigger points that give good
contractions and a pleasant feeling. Increase the intensity. Alternatively, ensure
that the sponge is wet enough and/or is placed tightly against the skin. Failing
this, remove the sponge and wash it with soapy water to remove body oils.
Q. I noticed a redness of the skin after use. Is this a problem?
A. A slight redness of the skin after using the AGELESS WONDERTM is normal.
It should fade quickly. If the redness is excessive, the sponge might have
dried out during a longer application. Try replenishing the sponge with water after
each 15 minute session and use a lower intensity level.
3.2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. How does the AGELESS WONDERTM work?
A. The AGELESS WONDERTM is designed to copy the messages sent from your
brain to the facial muscles. These messages cause the muscles to contract and
relax.
Q. Can muscles become over-developed or strained?
A. No. The principle is the same for general training of any muscle–the more
exercise, with suitable periods of rest, the stronger and more toned the muscles
become.
Q. Are there any age restrictions on use of the AGELESS WONDERTM?
A. The AGELESS WONDERTM is for adult use only. The elderly should only use the
device under supervision and at low intensity. The device should not be used by
infants, toddlers or children.
Q. Will I find it uncomfortable?
A. As long as the sponge is moist and kept firmly against the skin, you will not feel
any unpleasantness. At low intensity, you will feel a slight tingling sensation, but
as the intensity gets higher you will only feel pleasant contractions. However,
should you feel irritation or continued uncomfortable sensations in a specific
area, we recommend moving on to stimulate other areas.
Q. Should the intensity settings be the same for each muscle?
A. Each muscle will respond differently, so intensities will vary accordingly. Move
the application wand around to find the right trigger point that gives you maximum
contractions.
Q. Are there any contra-indications to use of the AGELESS WONDERTM?
A. Yes. Please read all contra-indications in section 4.0 carefully!
