of adipocytes' (fat cells); and
improving microcirculation and
lymphatic drainage. Together,
these effects lead to firming
and smoothing of the skin,
improvement in cellulite
appearance and
circumferential reduction, for a
tighter body with the best
possible visible, lasting results.
Introducing
LIPOTHERM RF™
technology- how it works
Radio Frequency (RF) is a form
of electromagnetic energy
that has been used for a long
time in aesthetic medicine. The
spacing between Sensifirm’s
four RF electrodes enables
great treatment volume and
allows multiple RF waves to
reach deeply into the skin
layers, heating the dermis,
hypodermis (inner skin layers)
and subcutaneous fat layers,
without damaging the
epidermis (outer skin layer).
This deep thermal effect in
turn activates several
biological mechanisms,
among them remodelling, and
later producing, collagen and
elastin; decreasing the volume
Intended use
By women who want to
improve cellulite appearance.
By men and women who want
to tighten and reduce the
circumference of their body.
Sensifirm can be used on
buttocks, thighs, abdomen,
waist and arms.
Note: This device is especially
designed for your own personal
treatment and is intended for
a single user and home use only.

Make sure your skin is dry,
clean and free of topical
products, such as
moisturizers and lotions.
Caution: Never use
flammable liquids, such as
alcohol (including perfumes,
sanitizers, or other

What to expect
when using Sensifirm
Check the expiration date of
the Base Gel.
Before beginning the treatment,
make sure that the electrodes
are clean, dry and intact.
During your treatment,
it is normal to experience:
Sensations of warmth created
by the RF energy.
Some mild red or pink colour
on the skin, during and just
after the treatment session.
Remove long and/or thick
hair from the treatment area
(mostly applicable for male
users).
Perform a preliminary test on
a small patch of skin in the
intended treatment area, 48
hours before the first use of
Sensifirm. In the preliminary
test, you can determine the
energy level settings that
best suit you (see
Preliminary test section
below).

English
Preliminary Test
Perform a preliminary test on
each area you intend to treat
48 hours before the first full
treatment.
Apply a thin, even layer of
Base Gel, included in your kit,
on the treatment area.
Plug in the Sensifirm device
and select RF energy level 3.
Place the Sensifirm device on
the desired treatment area
and move it in a circular
motion, for 3 minutes.
The treatment will create a
warm sensation on your skin.
However, if you feel your skin
is heating up too fast, reduce
the RF energy level, adjusting
it to suit your own comfort.
Stop the test immediately if
you do not feel comfortable,
such as severe redness or
blistering.
Wait 48 hours and examine
the tested area.
Prepare the treatment area

indicates the rate at which the
temperature rises when in
heating mode. A high RF energy
level will enable you faster and
more even heating.
We recommend performing all
treatments at energy level 3
(highest). However, you can
achieve maximum results at all
RF energy levels: at lower levels,
it will just take longer to reach

hot water and do not use
abrasive or harsh products.
Since skin cellulite formation
is an ongoing process, you
may repeat the Sensifirm
treatment according to your
needs.
Cleaning
unplug the device before
cleaning.
It is recommended to use a
soft damp cloth, paper towel
or pre-moistened wipe to
clean any residual Base Gel
from the Sensifirm. Make sure
the entire underside of the

Troubleshooting
If the device does not turn on
If you experience any problems with your Sensifirm, please refer to
the information below:
In case of general error
If Sensifirm does not deliver
RF signal energy and massage
(i.e. you cannot feel the warm
sensation or feel the gentle
vibration)
Make sure that the power cord is
plugged in properly, both to the
electrical outlet and into the
device socket.
Make sure that the power outlet
has power.
Make sure that there is full contact of
the electrodes with the skin
Gently press the device onto your skin
Make sure that there is enough Base
Gel on the treatment area.
The RF signal will be activated only
when at least 2 electrodes are in full
contact with the skin. (See indicator
details set out in the User Interface
description section above.)
If dirt or debris get stuck on the
electrodes, you should clean them in
accordance with the Cleaning section
above. If you cannot get the area
clean, contact our customer service.
Reset the device – unplug the power
cord from the electrical outlet on the
wall, wait 10 seconds and then
reconnect it.
If you still have problems with your
device, please contact our customer
service.
