ABOUT GENEO +U
geneo+U is a microdermabrasion system providing safe, eective and simple solutions.
Microdermabrasion is a mechanical process based on the concept of removing the uppermost layer of
dead skin cells (stratum corneum). During this process the body interprets this activity as a mild injury
to the skin and will begin to produce healthy new skin cells to replace the lost ones.
geneo+U also includes a massager head providing a more vibrant appearance and leaving the
complexion with a fresher and more toned look.
geneo+U consists of 6 main parts: Body Unit (1), Base Unit (2), OxyGeneo Applicator (3), Power Supply
(4) Massager Head (5), Capsugen (6).
For detailed description and illustrations, please refer to page 9.
Ultrasound Applicator is an additional applicator purchased in a separate kit.
