With VisaPure Advanced you will enjoy a range of benefits to reveal a
radiant, revitalized and refreshed skin. Thanks to Intelligent Head
Recognition, the appliance recognizes which head you put on and
automatically activates a customized DualMotion program, with
dedicated levels of rotation and vibration. This means you get great
skincare results! VisaPure Advanced comes with a diverse set of
heads that can be easily integrated into your skincare routine. You
can use all heads with your current skincare products like cleansers,
creams, oils and serums. This user manual contains information about
how to use the product and how to cleanse your skin with it.
Why cleansing?
Cleansing is an essential part of the daily skincare routine. VisaPure
Advanced cleanses your skin 10 times better compared to cleansing
by hand*. It cleanses your skin thoroughly and removes dead skin
cells and make-up. Your skincare products will be absorbed better
after you have used VisaPure Advanced. Therefore your skin feels
clean and soft.

-VisaPure cleanses your skin deeply and
stimulates blood circulation. If your skin is
used to the treatment, you may experience
slight skin reactions like redness or skin
tightness on occasion. If your skin is not
used to the treatment, these reactions may
be stronger and can last longer, but should
disappear after some hours. To reduce
these skin reactions, you can shorten the
treatment time, reduce the treatment
frequency and/or apply less pressure on the
skin during treatment.
After 2 weeks of daily usage, your skin
should have adapted to treatment with
VisaPure. However, if you still experience
strong skin reactions after 2 weeks of daily
usage, we advise you to stop using VisaPure
and give your skin some time to recover.
You can continue your treatment once the
skin reactions have disappeared, using
reduced treatment time and frequency. If
the strong skin reactions reoccur, we advise
you to contact your doctor.
