1. WHAT IS THE STOP X?
Use the STOP X at home to help reduce the appearance of mild to moderate
facial wrinkles.
STOP X uses a mild energy source that heats the skin and treats the wrinkles.
Indications for Use:
The STOP X device is intended for use in the non-invasive treatment of
mild to moderate facial wrinkles for adult users who have Fitzpatrick
Skin Types II-IV*.
* See section 3 for contraindications and safety information.
The STOP X device is a radio frequency (RF) device, based on the well-
established TriPollar
®
technology. The technology is based on four electrodes
designed to transmit thermal (heat) energy into the deep layers of the skin,
in order to trigger collagen remodeling that will reduce the appearance of
wrinkles and improve your skin tone and texture. TriPollar®Radio Frequency
technology combines the delivery of controlled heat deep into the skin, while
preserving the external layer - the epidermis.

6. STOP X TREATMENT PROCEDURE
HOW OFTEN TO USE YOUR STOP X
For best results, use the STOP X device 2-3 times (not consecutive days) a
week for a period of 8-12 weeks. For maintenance: additional treatments
are recommended once a week.
TREATMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Be sure that all four energy tips firmly touch the skin at all times during
treatment.
• It is important to keep the device moving at all times during treatment.
Leaving the device on the same spot without movement may
result in skin overheating and possible excessive skin redness.
• For most effective treatment, use slow, circular movements.
FIRST TIME USE
Before your first treatment, perform a test on a small area of skin (forearm,
2"x2"). This will ensure that your skin does not have a negative reaction
(excessive redness and/or swelling) to the gel or treatment and that the
device is operating correctly.
• Apply a small amount of STOP preparation gel on the test area
• Treat the area with the STOP X. Follow the steps below:
1. Remove the protective cover.

4. Place the device on the skin, and using slight pressure ensure that all
4 energy tips touch the skin.
5. Move the device slowly in circular motions until the orange indicator
light comes on.
6. After the orange light comes on, continue treating the same area for
a few more seconds.
