1. INTRODUCTION
Device Description & Principles of
Design
The Uniglo is a powered muscle
stimulator used for body toning and
shaping, as well as for the reduction
of wrinkles.
It sends a small and gentle
stimulation (similar to your natural
nerve impulses) to the muscles
being treated via two or four auto-
adhesive electrode pads, in order to
help you to firm and tone your body,
and to maintain your youthful
appearance.
We have developed bespoke
programmes dedicated to each
specific area: face, abs, buttocks &
hips, thighs, bust, arms and calves.
2. INTENDED USE
Uniglo is a device designed to be
used in the home environment to
improve muscle tone and bulk and
reduce signs of ageing. It is suitable
for use by all who can control the
device and understand the
instructions.
Do not use the device for any
purpose other than this intended
use.
Warning: Not suitable for use
by children without adult
supervision.
3. UNIGLO FEATURES
•Dual Channel
Two independent channels with four
electrode pads to treat two areas at
the same time.
•Comfortable Stimulation
Gentle stimulation with 90 small
steps of intensity (about 1 mA per
step).
•8 Preset Programmes
Including facial toning and firming;
as well as programmes for body
toning and shaping: abs, buttocks &
hips, thighs, bust, arms and calves.
•Memory
Features 3 functions: programme
retention (automatically starts in the
last programme used), duration of
use and average strength used.
•Open Circuit Detection
Automatically resets the strength to
zero if the electrode pads are not
correctly applied.
•Detachable Belt Clip
Enables the user to clip the unit onto
a belt.
•Large LCD Screen
Clearly shows the operation of the
unit and the programme and
intensity being used.
•Unique electrode pads
Face electrode pads: Simple
application to stimulate all areas of
the face in one treatment session.

8
Circular electrode pads: To be used
with the microcurrent programme
for deep facial toning.
Note: The electrode pads
need to be applied
directly to the skin before
the intensity increase buttons will
operate. If the Uniglo detects the
unit is not properly connected to
you (for example if the electrode
pads or leads come loose) then the
unit switches the intensity to zero.
This safety feature prevents any
unpleasant changes in output.
4. HOW ‘EMS’ WORKS
E.M.S. stands for Electrical Muscle
Stimulation and has successfully
been used in rehabilitation and
training in competitive sports. EMS
produces intensive and effective
muscular contraction.
EMS is a complement to other
physical therapy and should always
be combined with active mobility,
strength, coordination and
functional training.
In training, the technology for
electrotherapy is used for all kinds of
muscular exercise - warm-up,
strength, speed, power, resistance,
endurance, recovery and also for
rehabilitation. EMS is well known and
works as an excellent complement
to regular training.
Advantages of EMS
Use of EMS will help to tone and
shape the body by contracting the
selected muscle group. It is
particularly convenient for areas
that are famous for losing their
shape and hard to exercise such as
the upper arms and the face.
Successful athletes all over the world
have discovered the advantages of
electrical muscle stimulation, such
as an increase of the local
circulation and the size of the
muscle fibres.
How EMS Works
Muscular activity is produced by the
central and peripheral nervous
systems transmitting electrical stimuli
to the muscles of our body. EMS uses
external electrical impulses that
work through the skin to stimulate
the nerves supplying a specific
muscle group.
This current then passes into the
nerve fibres controlling that part of
the muscle stimulating it to contract.
So, electrical stimulation (EMS)
artificially activates a muscle for you
enabling to exercise the muscles
and, as with any kind of exercise if
performed regularly, build strength
and tone.
Different frequencies have different
effects; low frequencies (1-10 Hz)

9
coupled with long impulse times, for
example, have a purifying and
relaxing effect through individual
contractions, whereby the
circulation in the treated muscle is
simultaneously improved and
removal of metabolic end products
is supported (lymphatic drainage).
In contrast, by means of a rapid
succession of contractions
(fibrillation), medium frequencies
(20-50 Hz) can put a high level of
strain on the muscle, thus promoting
the muscular structure.
5. HOW ‘MIC’ WORKS
MicroCurrent Stimulation (MIC) is a
type of therapy where very low
current is sent into the cells of the
body. MIC is a very faint current that
is so small it is measured in millionths
of an amp (microamps).
Microcurrent has been used for
about 25 years in medicine. Good
results have been achieved in the
treatment of bell’s palsy, facial
paralysis, stroke, wound healing and
pain control.
Human cells generate a current that
is in the micro amp range which is
why some can’t feel it - the current
is so low it doesn’t stimulate the
sensory nerves.
As we get older, the body slows
down, the muscles start to age, and
the skin begins to deteriorate.
Microcurrent has the ability to speed
up the whole metabolism of the
tissue and cellular activity. It works in
two ways: preventative and
corrective. It heals the tissues so that
a visible result will be seen after only
one session. The skin will tighten, and
lines and wrinkles will be softened
because of the cellular activity
being stimulated.
In addition, because the muscle
and tissue are then in a better state
of repair to receive the body’s own
natural bio-electrical impulses, there
is preventative care as well. The
ageing process is being delayed
and a healing effect is produced.
Why use Microcurrent?
•Corrective: enhances natural
features, encourages collagen
production to plump out the
tissue
•Tightens and soften lines
•Very little sensation felt: very
relaxing treatment
•Preventative: delays the aging
process and stops further
damage by stimulating the
existing collagen
•Non-invasive: safer and less
intrusive than face lifting surgery
Benefits of Microcurrent:
•Lifts sagging muscles
•Reduces the appearance of
wrinkles and fine lines
•Reduces oedema: puffiness
under the eyes is reduced as is
dark circles under the eyes.
•Gives a youthful appearance to
the skin
•Tightens and reduces open pores

10
•Improves colours and texture of
the skin
•Tones flabby or sunken areas
•Diminishes scar tissue: although
older scars take longer
6. CONTRAINDICATIONS,
WARNINGS &
CAUTIONS
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Do NOT use if you have a
pacemaker (or if you have a heart
rhythm problem) or with any
electronic devices. Using this unit
with electronic devices may cause
erroneous operation of the device.
Stimulation in the direct vicinity of an
implanted device may affect some
models.
Do NOT use during the first three
months of pregnancy. It is not known
whether TENS and EMS may affect
foetal development.
Do NOT use on the abdomen in the
later stages of pregnancy. Stop
using immediately if you experience
unexpected contractions.
WARNINGS:
Do NOT use when driving, operating
machinery, or similar actions
needing muscular control. Loose
electrode pads, damaged leads, or
sudden changes in contact may
cause brief involuntary muscle
movements.
Do NOT use to mask or relieve
undiagnosed pain. This may delay
diagnosis of a progressive condition.
Do NOT use if you have, in the area
being treated: active or suspected
cancer or undiagnosed pain with a
history of cancer. Stimulation
directly through a confirmed or
suspected malignancy should be
avoided as it may stimulate growth
and promote spread of cancer
cells.
Do NOT use electrodes near the
thorax as this may increase the risk of
cardiac fibrillation.
Do NOT use optional electrodes on
the front of the neck. Stimulation on
the front of the neck can affect your
heart rate or cause contraction of
the throat.
Do NOT use optional electrodes
across the chest. Very strong
stimulation across the chest may
cause an extra heartbeat and/or
rhythm disturbances to your heart,
which could be lethal.
Do NOT use Uniglo while
simultaneously connected to high
frequency surgical equipment as it
may result in burns at the site of
stimulator electrodes and possible
damage to the stimulator.
Do NOT use Uniglo in close proximity
(e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or
microwave as this may produce
instability in the stimulator output.

11

term use is not harmful.
However, the device works your
muscles and unaccustomed
amounts of exercise may produce
muscle ache. If this happens, simply
reduce the strength of the machine,
or allow your muscles to rest until the
aching disappears.
7. INFORMATION ABOUT
THE PROGRAMME
SETTINGS
7.1. EMS PROGRAMMES
The Uniglo unit has 8 preset EMS
programmes: FACE 1, FACE 2, ABS,
HIP, THIGH, BUST, ARM and CALF.
Each programme has its own
combination of Frequency and
Pulse Width settings which allow for
different muscle groups to be
exercised and toned through the
electrode pads.
•Frequency (measured in Hz -
pulses per second)
Low frequencies (1-10 Hz) have a
purifying and relaxing effect
through individual contractions.
Medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can
put a high level of strain on the
muscle, thus promoting the
muscular structure
•Pulse Width (measured in μs -
millionths of a second)
The Uniglo unit has pulse widths of 80
to 600 μs. Generally speaking, the
higher the pulse width, the more
"aggressive" the stimulation feels, if
the pulse width is set high enough, it
will usually elicit a muscle
contraction, which is required for an
effective toning of the muscle group
selected.
Work/Rest:
All the programmes are intermittent.
Once you have reached a
comfortable level, 5 seconds after
you stop pressing the button, the
intermittent Work/Rest phase will
start.
For each programme, the unit will
go through a stimulation phase
(Work) for 0-10 seconds, followed by
a phase without stimulation (Rest)
for a similar time.
This is to allow your muscles to
recover from exercise and avoid
fatigue.

14
During the Work period (W), the unit
will generate contractions, try to
contract the muscle voluntarily at
the time to get the best possible
results.
This cycle Work/Rest will continue for
the duration of the programme
selected.
Wand Rare displayed on the
screen.
Each programme is a balanced mix
of toning, firming, and shaping
specifically designed for the
designated muscle group.
All the programmes except FACE 1
& FACE 2 consist of seven phases,
with a combination of settings
optimised for each part of the body
selected from the following.
•Capillarization (3 Hz to 8 Hz)
Treatment at these frequencies
significantly increases arterial flow in
the area treated. This is useful for
recovering after intense work and
improves local microcirculation.
•Tissue Elasticity (5 Hz to 15 Hz)
Stimulates the surface muscle fibres.
These frequencies facilitate the
removal of substances
accumulated on the surface and
improve the dynamic appearance
of the skin.
•Micro lifting (12 Hz to 20 Hz)
Toning facial muscles to improve
both the appearance and the
dynamism of facial muscles.
•Modelling (12 Hz to 30 Hz)
Due to a combination of
capillarizing and toning impulses,
this frequency range helps mobilise
fat in areas where it tends to
accumulate.
•Firming up (20 Hz to 30 Hz)
Firming up muscles working mainly
on slow-twitch fibres.
•Lipolysis (30 Hz to 40 Hz)
This frequency range is used in
electrolipophoresis treatments to
improve the appearance of the
skin.
•Toning (40 Hz to 50 Hz)
Toning up working mainly on fast-
twitch fibres.
•Definition and bulk (60 Hz to 100
Hz)
Defining muscles in the arms and
bust working mainly on explosive
fibres. Grows muscle size.
For all programmes except FACE 1 &
FACE 2, follow the guidelines below
to set the intensity level.
Phase 1 - Preparation: Turn up the
stimulation gradually, until you feel
an intermittent tingling.
Phases 2 to 6 - Activation: Increase
the intensity until you feel a very
smooth tensing under the pads,
there should be little visible
movement.
Use a low intensity for the first session
to help you to understand how the
machine works.
During the programme and over the
next few days the intensity should be
increased gradually to produce
marked, but not painful muscle
contractions.

15
Phase 7 - Cool down: Turn down the
intensity gradually until you can only
feel a mild tingling pulse.
For the programme FACE 1, which
has just one phase, increase the
intensity to the point where you can
just see the muscle moving.
Note: The stimulation should
remain comfortable and
relaxing at all times.
7.2. MIC PROGRAMME
The FACE 2 programme is a
microcurrent programme and
therefore uses specific settings.
Intensity is fixed, and the
programme starts when you set
display above zero.
Phase 1 – Circulation: This part of the
treatment stimulates the epidermal
and dermal blood circulation. It also
has an activating effect on the
lymph circulation.
Phase 2 – Superficial lift: This part of
the programme lifts the superficial
facial muscles.
Phase 3 – Deep facial toning: This
phase gives a lift to deep facial
muscles.

8. PROGRAMMES
8.1. PRESET PROGRAMMES
Programme Muscle group Description Special Feature
1 FACE 1 Quick Facial
Toning
Helps tone, firm, lift and
tighten the soft tissues of the
face, counteracting the
effects of ageing.
Intensity limited
to 40 mA.
Use with face
electrode pads
(see E-CM3050).
2 FACE 2 Deep Facial
Toning
Microcurrent is effective for
deep facial toning and there
is only very little sensation felt.
Facial muscles and skin may
also be stimulated to improve
circulation, help activate
fibroblasts which produce
collagen and elastin and can
also tone flaccid and sagging
face muscles.
Intensity is
preset and can
only be
decreased.
Use with circular
electrode pads
(see E-CM25).
3 ABS Abdominal Suitable for people who wish
to tone and shape their body
to obtain a thinner silhouette
and to enhance general
fitness levels.
4 HIP Buttocks &

ARM
Arms
Our upper arms often have
little shape, usually caused by
a lack of movement and
muscular work. This
programme is designed to
firm and bulk muscles.
Circulation

improve skin
tone and
appearance.
8 CALF Calves
It is usually a lack of trained
muscles in the legs which
disturbs us most. Targeted
muscle training for the calves
is very simple to perform.

17
Square electrode pads (E-CM5050) should be used for all programmes
excluding FACE 1 and FACE 2.
Note: These programmes must be used in combination with a healthy
diet and regular active exercises.

8.3. USING THE PROGRAMMES
FACIAL PROGRAMMES:
The FACE 1 and FACE 2 programmes
are a non-invasive option for
helping lift and/or tighten the soft
tissues of the face, improving facial
muscle tone and reducing the signs
of ageing.
Recommended use: One treatment
session daily, 5 days/week, for 12
weeks. You may notice some
positive effects after just one session,
but normally it will take about 6
weeks before you notice a
difference.
FACE 1 PROGRAMME:
Take care when adjusting the
intensity as facial muscles are
particularly sensitive; intensity should
be increased gradually, starting with
a very low level of stimulation (just
above perception) and increasing
with care until you reach a good
level of stimulation, represented by
good muscle activation.
On the face, it is not necessary to
reach levels of intensity capable of
causing discomfort! Great and
significant results are obtained
through consistency and patience.
Warning: Use these
programmes only with the
face electrode pads
included in the kit (see E-CM3050).
Warning: a minimum
distance of 3 cm. must be
kept between the electrode
pad and the eyeball.
The TensCare face electrode pads
(see E-CM3050) are designed to
reduce any risk to a minimum. Some
secondary effects may subsist but
they should be temporary.
Note: You might notice mild
skin redness at the site of the
