Methode Brigitte Kettner MBK Wave User manual

The MBK Wave
Combining 4 modalities for optimal treatment results. The Wave offers the flexibility of using
the modalities individually or all four simultaneously.
Modalities:
*Ultrasound waves (3 million per minute) act on the body in the following way: they stimulate
cells. The tiny massage it produces expands the space in which the cells exist, causing
movement of cytoplasm, the rotation of mitochondria, and the vibration of the cell nucleus;
it stimulates and expands the cell membrane. It improves local blood and lymph circulation,
and increases the penetration of skin enhancing products.
*Biomechanical Vibrations (6000-7000 times per minute) send gentle vibrations that stimulate
muscles. The effects are particularly beneficial for speeding up metabolism by improving the
supply of nutrients and oxygen to the tissue for smooth healthy skin. This is the mode that I
feel that induces the toning!
*Ion+ electrical current draws debris out of the pores for a deep cleanse. Use over top of
cleanser.
*Ion- electrical current drives product deeper into the skin creating better hydration and
effectiveness of ingredients. For optimal product penetration use this mode in combination
with Ultrasound mode.
*Red LED 620-630nm: Stimulates fiber cells, improves blood circulation, reduces fine lines and
wrinkles. Anti-aging and pigmentation.
*Blue LED 460-470nm: Kills surface bacteria and calms skin.
*Green LED 520-530nm: Kills bacteria at a deeper level to help eliminate acne. Works on
pigmentation issues as well.
Usage:
Use the Wave in Ion+ mode over any cleanser for a deep cleanse. Use for 2 to 3 minutes.
You can offer this as a 10 to 15-minute add-on to any facial treatment or as a full
hydrating/lifting treatment that includes 10 minutes using the Wave on each side of the face.

If using the wave in a full facial use it toward the end of the treatment. Once you’ve
penetrated great products into the skin with the Wave, you don’t want to apply another
product (such as a mask) that you will rinse off. You can put your client under LED after using
the Wave and then apply sunscreen.
A series of treatments will be twice a week for four to six weeks depending on the age of the
client and the condition of their skin. Maintenance is once a month. Always leave one day in
between treatments.
There needs to be a product on the skin to conduct the modalities. You may use any water-
based gel or high moisture product for conduction. Remember that you are driving the
product deep into the so you don’t want to use something with inferior ingredients!! You may
apply any serum on the skin before applying the conductive product.
Use two units to save time. Do both sides of the face at once! Recommended time for a
good lift is 10 to 15 minutes on each side of the face.
Treatment idea: offer a 30-minute Super Lift treatment. Cleanse, exfoliate, 20 minutes of the
Wave, sunscreen.
Movements:
Apply product to half of the face and neck working that half for 5 to 10 minutes. Your
movements will be upward starting on the lower neck. Make your movements slow with a
pause at the end. No need to put pressure, just glide the unit. When finished with the first half
of the face apply product to the second half and repeat. Watch the video showing
movements on the full face. https://youtu.be/wEkez2DwoIk
If your product dries out a bit just add water. No need to add more product. The unit needs
plenty of water/moisture to conduct well.
NOTE: Please be sure your hands are clean of product and dry before using. If not, you will
feel the current in your hand.
Operation:
Plug the adaptor into device and charge - there will be a “Beep” sound which means the
machine is ready to begin charging.
When charging the Wave, the LCD screen will light up in blue. When fully charged, the light
will be off. Charging time is around 3 hours, and will allow for 2.5 hours for continuously using.
1. Push the on/off button to turn the machine on. LCD lights up after a beeping sound.
2. Press MODE to select the modality. The flashing modality name is the mode you are on.
3. Then press SHIFT to raise power level of that modality
4. Press CFM to confirm/lock in that modality.
5. After you’ve set your first modality, press MODE to choose the next modality. Repeat steps
3 and 4 with each modality.

6. Continue to repeat until each modality you want to use is working. If there is a modality
that you do not want to use continue to hit MODE to go past that modality.
7. Timer. The default setting for “auto off”is 15 minutes. When the timer is flashing hit the shift
mode to change the time. 19 minutes is the highest amount of time. Once timer is set where
you want it press CFM to confirm/lock in that time.
NOTE: lon+& lon- cannot work at the same time.
Misc. Info:
It’s fine to use the Wave on clients with fillers and botox. They may find that it even lasts a bit
longer because of this treatment! Wait a minimum of 10 days before doing the Wave
treatment in areas injected.
A tip for better results: Make sure that your client is hydrated (have her drink a glass of water
before you start the treatment). Ask them to not drink a lot of alcohol the night before their
treatment. Alcohol will definitely dehydrate them!
Goggles contain Latex.
Cleaning: wipe with anti-bacterial or alcohol wipe after each client. Do not spray alcohol on
the unit. Do not immerse unit in liquid.

Metal implants such as pacemakers or electronic monitoring devices
Metal implants in the mouth or jaw area
