INTRODUCTION
NuFACE TRINITY ELE ATTACHMENT
The dual spheres of the Trinity ELE are similar to that
of the NuFACE Trinity Facial Trainer (Facial Trainer)
in that they are capable of providing complete facial
stimulation. However, the dual spheres of the Trinity
ELE are significantly smaller in size and designed for
optimal contact with smaller surface areas of the face,
like the areas around the lips and eyes. The Trinity
ELE is extremely responsive, as it delivers low-level
microcurrent and allows users to adjust the output level
for personalized comfort.
IDEAL USER
The Trinity ELE is for anyone looking to
achieve facial stimulation for strategic
locations on the face, mainly around the
lip and eye areas.

Trinity device.
2. Test your skin to make sure you are
not sensitive to the NuFACE primer
(sold separately). Rub a dime-sized
amount of the primer on your forearm
and leave for 15–30 minutes before
washing off. If an allergic reaction
develops within 24 hours, you should
not use the device and/or treatment
attachments in conjunction with the
NuFACE primer. Immediately consult
the Carol Cole Company for an alternate
conductive medium.
3. Before and after your treatment, take a photo of your
clean face/problem areas in a well-lit room. Every eight
weeks, take another photo and compare results.

TREATMENT STEPS
1. Follow all of the steps indicated in the “Before Using Your
Attachment” section.
2. Cleanse your face with an oil-free cleanser. Men should
shave before treatment, as facial hair can interfere with
the conductivity of the spheres. Note: Any make-up or
oil-based products left on the skin can block the
penetration of microcurrent.
3. Apply the NuFACE primer (sold separately) on your
clean, dry skin to the designated areas to be treated, only
after ensuring that no allergic reactions to the NuFACE
primer have occurred (refer to “Before Using Your
Attachment” section). Note: To ensure microcurrent
penetration, use enough NuFACE primer to create a
mask-like layer on each treatment area (do not rub in).
4. Remove your device from the charging cradle and turn it
on by pressing the ON/OFF button. An ascending audible
beep is emitted notifying you that your device is on.
5. Adjust the intensity level to your comfort by pressing
the intensity adjustment buttons on the front of your
device, either up (+) or down (-). As you increase or
decrease intensity, the number of illuminated blue lights
will change. At a maximum level, all five blue lights will
be illuminated. At a minimum level, only one blue light
will be illuminated. It is normal to not feel any sensation
when using the Trinity ELE.
6. Place the Trinity ELE in direct contact over the area to
be treated. Refer to “Treatment Areas” on next page.
Always keep both spheres on your face at the same time.
The device emits a beep every five (5) seconds to indicate
when to move to the next treatment area. This beep will
change to two (2) low tones when the battery is in need
of recharging. Note: The current is soft, very soothing, and
mild when used correctly.
7. It is important not to allow the primer to dry during
treatment. Reactivate the primer by applying more primer.
8. After treatment is complete, remove the NuFACE primer
by using a damp cloth.

TREATMENT AREAS
The Trinity ELE is designed to stimulate smaller surface
areas of the face, such as the lip and eye areas. The
instructions below are designed to provide users with the
most effective results when followed correctly.
Always ensure that you are correctly holding the device
in either a vertical or horizontal position, as required per
the specified treatment area. Reference the Treatment
Key below as a guide on how to properly position the
spheres during treatment. Keep in mind that all holding
and gliding actions are depicted in a sequential manner;
therefore it is important that you begin at the first
indicated position (1) and continue treatment by moving
to the next treatment position (2,3…), until the sequence
is complete.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What type of results will I see and how quickly will I
see them?
Results may vary based on skin type and skin damage,
however optimal results are achieved with regular use.
2. What can I do to maintain results?
For the first 60 days we recommend using the Trinity ELE
five times a week. Once you’ve achieved your desired results,
you can continue to use the Trinity ELE 2-3 times a week
for maintenance following the instructions in this manual.
3. Can I use my favorite skin care products with the Trinity ELE?
YES. The Trinity ELE works synergistically with many
skin care lines. However, do not use oil-based skin care
products prior to your microcurrent treatment as the oil
may prohibit the delivery of microcurrent and delay your
results. For advanced results, apply a NuFACE serum
before you apply the primer.
4. Why doesn’t the Trinity ELE contract the muscles? How
does it tone them if it doesn’t contract the muscles?
How much current will I feel? The Trinity ELE utilizes
microcurrent that gently stimulates the facial muscles. It
is normal not to feel any sensation with the Trinity ELE
treatment, although a slight tingling sensation may be felt
in certain areas. Facial sensitivity varies from individual
to individual. For this, you have the option of lowering or
raising the intensity during any segment of the treatment.
5. How is the Facial Trainer different from the Trinity ELE?
The dual spheres of the Trinity ELE are similar to that of
the Facial Trainer in that they are capable of providing
complete facial stimulation. However, the dual spheres
of the Trinity ELE are significantly smaller in size, and
designed for optimal contact with smaller surface areas
of the face, like around the lips or eyes, whereas the Facial
Trainer is designed for larger surfaces of the face.
