Vacuum pressure
The more sensitive the
skin the less pressure
should be used.
Too much pressure is
uncomfortable for the client
and may lead to a greater
peel than is needed.
The most sensitive skin is
found around the eyes and
on the neck below the chin.
We recommend a working
pressure for sensitive skin
of –2 PSI.
The rest of the face (and
body) is less sensitive.
Depending on the depth of
peel and the condition of
the skin a working pressure
of –3 to –4 PSI is adequate
Beginning Treatment:
Once you have checked the following, the machine is ready to use:
Tubing attached securely to Handpiece and to DermaVisage.
Plastic treatment tip securely attached to Handpiece
Fresh crystal container is lled to required level.
The rst step is to set the working vacuum for the hand-piece.
To do this, place your thumb over the hand-piece tip and turn on the
machine. Keeping the hand-piece closed set the vacuum regulator to
show –3 psi. (This is the standard setting for facial peeling) You are now
ready to treat.
Treatment technique:
Place a nger on the skin to one side of the area to be treated. This
keeps the skin taut and hinders the skin from being pushed forward by
the hand-piece. Keeping your nger placed here, apply the treatment tip
gently to the skin and move it smoothly away from your nger.
It is better not to run the treatment-tip backwards and forwards over
the same area of skin, but to start from the same position next to your
nger and to move in one direction only. The treatment will otherwise be
signicantly more intensive.
The crystals can only ow when the system is completely closed, in
other words when the treatment tip is in proper contact with the skin.
Always support the skin with one hand and do not exert any pressure
on the skin with the hand-piece. The vacuum itself ensures that the
system is properly closed.
A hand-piece pushed too tightly against the skin will only cause irritation
and reddening, with no positive eects on the intensity of the treatment.
General Treatment Guidelines
Do not place the hand-piece onto the skin with too much pressure.
This has no bearing on the peeling results. Too much physical
pressure is uncomfortable for your client.
Place a nger onto the skin and work away from this with the hand-
piece. This keeps the skin taught and hinders the skin form being
pushed forward by the hand-piece.
Avoid peeling in a circular motion. Peel in one direction only lifting the
hand-piece from the skin at the end of each pass.
