WARNINGS
Nu Skin Facial Spa provides electrical microcurrent that can
travel through the skin/body. As such, care should be taken
whenever direct currents (DC) such as these are applied
to the skin. The following warnings and precautions
should be heeded.
If you are in the care of a physician, consult with your
physician before using the device.
Do not apply stimulation over your neck because
this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in
closure of your airway, diculty in breathing, or
adverse eects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
Do not apply stimulation across your chest because
the introduction of electrical current into the chest
may cause rhythm disturbances to your heart, which
could be lethal.
Do not apply stimulation over painful areas. If you
have painful areas, you should consult with your
physician before using the device.
Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or rashes,
or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed areas or
skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,
varicose veins).
Do not apply stimulation over, or in proximity to,
cancerous lesions or diseased tissues.
Do not apply stimulation in the presence of elec-
tronic monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors,
ECG alarms), which may not operate properly when
the electrical stimulation device is in use.
Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
Do not expose this device or batteries to excessive
heat. Do not attempt to recharge batteries. Handle
leaking batteries with caution.
Do not conduct more than three Facial Spa regimens
per week.
When using the device, do not touch any other
person or live parts and protective earth.

7
When using the device, do not use with other de-
vices at same time
Do not change, release, or attach conductors when
the device is turned ON. You risk exposing yourself
to the exposed electrical lead, which may result in
electrical shock or burning of the skin.

reduce the risk of shock, burn, fire, or injury, do not
immerse your device in water. Do not place or store
where it may fall or be pulled into a bathtub, shower,
sink, or toilet.
Do not apply stimulation on skin without Nu Skin®
Conductive Gel. Using the device without Conductive
Gel may burn your skin. Only use with Nu Skin
Conductive Gel.
No modification of device is allowed.
Remove batteries when the device is not likely to
be used for some time.
PRECAUTIONS
Use the Facial Spa only as directed.
Always inspect your Facial Spa and conductors before
use. Ensure there are no rough or defective surfaces,
sharp edges, blistering of the chrome, and/or abnor-
malities on any surface. If you notice any abnormalities,
do not use the device and contact Nu Skin Support
Services.

PRECAUTIONS (cont.)
Use in home environmentout of direct sunlight.
The long-term eects of electrical stimulation are
unknown.
Since the eects of stimulation of the brain are
unknown, stimulation should not be applied across
your head, and electrodes should not be placed on
opposite sides of your head.

has not been established.
You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity
due to the electrical stimulation or electrical con-
ductive medium (Nu Skin®Conductive Gel).
If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease,
you should follow precautions recommended by
your physician.
Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally,
such as following an injury or fracture.
Consult with your physician prior to using the device
after a recent surgical procedure because stimulation
may disrupt the healing process.
Use caution if stimulation is applied over the
menstruating uterus.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Please read all the instructions before beginning. If you
have any questions relating to the safe use of the device,
please call Nu Skin Support Services.
The following general instructions will guide you through
operating your device.
Do NOT conduct more than three Facial Spa regimens
per week. See Section 6 for more information on
regimen selections.
For each spa regimen, you must attach the appropriate conductor
to your device. Select the appropriate conductor—SMALL or
LARGE—at the beginning of each regimen and use for both
spa sessions.
Inspect Your Device: Look at your Facial Spa and conductors
to ensure that the chrome surfaces appear smooth.
If you notice any sharp edges, blistering of the chrome,
and/or abnormalities on any surface, do not use and
contact Nu Skin Support Services.
GENERAL USAGE AND CLEANING
To Release a Conductor: Ensure that your
device is turned o (display is unlit). Hold
the device with the chrome panel facing
you (see Figure 5.1). Place your thumb on
the release button and press firmly. With
your free hand, grasp the conductor on
the sides and gently pull the conductor
o the device.
Do not pinch or hold the middle of the conductor as this could
permanently damage the device release mechanism.
Section 5: Key Information
Figure 5.1

14
Do NOT change, release, or attach conductors when the
device is turned ON. You risk exposing yourself to the
exposed electrical lead, which may result in electric shock
or burning of the skin.
To Attach a Conductor: Ensure that
your device is turned o (display is
unlit). Hold the device with the display
side up, and the conductor with the
positioning indicator (small etch) facing
you (see Figure 5.2). Press firmly to snap
the conductor into place. If the conductor
fails to attach, make certain the conductor is positioned
correctly. Do not force the conductor—this could damage
both the device and the conductor. The device will not work
unless the conductor is attached correctly.
Nu Skin®Conductive Gel: The gel must be used with your
spa device to ensure adequate conductivity. Apply a generous
amount of gel to the conductor and to the face treatment
area (see Section 6).
Display: The display will remain lit while the device is on—both
when choosing the spa session number and during the spa session. If
you lose contact with your skin during the spa session, the display will
flash on and o and the spa session timer will pause until you resume
contact. If the display is flashing on and o, it is either because the
device has lost contact with your skin or there is not enough moisture
for optimal conductivity. To continue your spa session, ensure there
is adequate moisture by applying more Nu Skin®Conductive Gel
at all contact points and resume contact with your skin.
Choose the Spa Session Number: Press the
selection button once to turn on the device.
The spa session number will be lit in the upper
portion of the display, with dots indicating
the length (minutes) of the selected spa
session (see Figure 5.3). The selection button
acts as a scroll button; each time you press
the button the device will proceed to the next spa session
number. In order to select or “lock in”a spa session number,
FACIA L SPA

15
simply press the conductor against your face. The device will
beep, indicating that your spa session is beginning.
See Section 6 for more information on the dierent regimen
options.
During a Spa Session: The device display
will be lit and the device will beep every 10
seconds to indicate that the unit is on and
working (see Figure 5.4). The audible beeps
are the ONLY indicator that the device is
working. Once the spa session time reaches
30 seconds remaining, the spa will beep
every five seconds until the spa session is
complete, at which point the “spa session
complete”alert will sound.
Spa Session Interruption: You must keep the conductor in
contact with facial skin and ensure adequate moisture at all
contact points using Nu Skin®Conductive Gel only. Losing
contact with the skin will interrupt the spa session. In this case,
the display will flash on and o and the device will stop beeping
until contact is either reestablished or until the device automat-
ically shuts o after two minutes of non-use.
If an interruption lasts more than two minutes and the device turns
o, simply restart the interrupted spa session. Repeat cleansing
step, if needed. If Nu Skin®Conductive Gel has dried, wipe o with a
damp cloth, reapply, and then restart the session. See Section 6 for
more information on regimens and spa sessions.
Spa Session Completion: At the end of your session, the device
will emit a long beep followed by two short beeps and automatically
turn o. To manually turn the device o, press the spa session
selection button until the display turns o (is unlit).
Clean and Properly Store Your Spa: After every use, turn the
device o and wipe the device and conductors with a damp
cloth to remove any excess Nu Skin®
Conductive Gel (see Figure 5.5).
Be sure to check if gel seeped between
the device and conductor. If so,
remove all of the used gel with
a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

Refer to Section 8 for proper storage specifications.
Remember: See the contraindications, warnings, precautions,
and adverse reactions described in Section 2 of this manual
before using the Facial Spa.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Why does the device beep at the beginning of a session?
After making contact with the skin, the device will beep, indicating
the session is started. See Section 6.
What do the lights and sounds mean during a session?
The device will be lit and emit audible beeps (every 10 seconds
until the last 30 seconds of each session, then every 5 seconds)
indicates the device is working as intended. See Section 6.
What do the beeps mean at the end of a session?
The device will emit a long beep followed by two short beeps
and then turn o to indicate the spa session is complete.
See Section 6.
Why does the display flash during a session?
The display will flash and the device will stop beeping when a spa
session is interrupted. To continue your spa session, ensure there
is adequate moisture by applying Nu Skin Conductive Gel to all
contact points and resume and maintain contact with your skin
throughout the session. (See “Spa Session Interruption” above)
Why is there an amber light and successive beeps?
When the amber low battery icon below the section button is
lit and the device beeps four times twice, the batteries are low
and need replacing. Install two new AAA batteries.
See Section 7.
Why won’t the device remain on?
If when turning the device on, the selection button flashes but
won’t power on, the device is critically low on batteries. Install
two new AA batteries. See Section 7.
