1. INTRODUCTION
Device Description & Principles of
Design
The Beauty Max 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, pelvis,
thighs & calves, bust, and arms
alongside a new, general massage
programme.
2. INTENDED USE
Beauty Max 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
in children without supervision.
3. BEAUTY MAX
FEATURES
•Dual Channel
Two independent channels with four
electrode pads to treat two areas at the
same time.
•Channel Splitters
Two channel splitters allow each
channel to provide stimulation through
four dedicated pads, significantly
increasing the capability of the device.
The splitters are particularly effective
for Programme 5: PELV.
•Comfortable Stimulation
Gentle stimulation with 90 small steps
of intensity (about 1 mA per step).
•10 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), number of uses and
time of usage.
•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.

6
•Unique electrode pads
Face: Simple application to stimulate all
areas of the face in one treatment
session.
Breast: Large surface area for
comfortable stimulation.
Note: The electrode pads need
to be applied directly to the skin
before the intensity increase
buttons will operate. If the Beauty Max
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 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)
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

7
a high level of strain on the muscle, thus
promoting the muscular structure.
5. CONTRAINDICATIONS,
WARNINGS &
CAUTIONS
In this manual:
A Contraindication is used
when a device should not be
used because the risk of use clearly
outweighs any foreseeable benefits
and may result in serious injury or
death.
Warning is used when failure to
follow the instructions may
result in serious injury or death.
A Caution is used when failure
to follow the instructions may
result in a minor or moderate injury, or
damage to the device or other property.
Notes are used to provide
clarification or
recommendation.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
•Do NOT use if you have a
pacemaker (or if you have a heart
rhythm problem) or with any
electronic medical devices. Using
this unit with electronic medical
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 modify the equipment. There
are no user serviceable parts. No
modification of this equipment is
allowed.
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 Beauty Max while
simultaneously connected to high
frequency surgical equipment as it may
result in burns at the site of stimulator

8
electrodes and possible damage to the
stimulator.
Do NOT use Beauty Max in close
proximity (e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or
microwave as this may produce
instability in the stimulator output.
Do NOT use electrodes near the thorax
as this may increase the risk of cardiac
fibrillation.
CAUTIONS:
Caution should be used if you have a
bleeding disorder as stimulation may
increase blood flow to the stimulated
region.
Caution should be used if you have
suspected or diagnosed epilepsy as
electrical stimulation may affect seizure
threshold.
Caution should be observed when
using the device at the same time as
being connected to monitoring
equipment with body worn electrode
pads. It may interfere with the signals
being monitored.
Caution should be used following
recent surgical procedures. Stimulation
may disrupt the healing process.
Caution Simultaneous connection to
high frequency surgical equipment may
result in burns and damage to the

DO NOT PLACE ELECTRODE PADS:
•On skin, which does not have normal
sensation. If the skin is numb too
great a strength may be used, which
could result in skin inflammation.
•On broken skin. The electrode pads
could encourage infection.
•On the front of the neck. This could
cause the airway to close, giving
breathing problems. May cause
sudden drop in blood pressure
(vasovagal response).
•Over the eyes. May affect eyesight
or cause headaches.
•Across the front of the head. Effect
on patients who have had strokes or
seizures is not known. May affect
your sense of balance. The effects of
stimulation on the brain are
unknown.
ELECTRODE PADS CAUTION:
Caution: Do not ignore any allergic
reaction to the electrode pads: If a skin
irritation develops, stop using TENS, as
this type of electrodes may not
be suitable for you. Alternative
electrode pads specially made for
sensitive skin are available (see E-
SV5050).
Caution: Do not use this device with
leads or electrode pads other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer. Performance may vary
from specification. Electrodes with

effects to use and long-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

10
the machine or allow your muscles to
rest until the aching disappears.
6. INFORMATION ABOUT
THE PROGRAMME
SETTINGS
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 Beauty Max 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.
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,
PUBIS and RELAX 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.

11
•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,
PUBIS and RELAX 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.
Phase 7 - Cool down: Turn down the
intensity gradually until you can only
feel a mild tingling pulse.
For the programme FACE and PUBIS,
which has just one phase, increase the
intensity to the point where you can just
see the muscle moving.
Note: The stimulation should
always remain comfortable
and relaxing.

7.3. USING THE
PROGRAMMES
FACIAL PROGRAMMES:
The FACE programme is 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.
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
electrode pads after the
treatment session. It should fade within
10 to 20 minutes.
Note: Very rarely temporary
after-effects, such as mild
eyelid flutter, have been
reported after facial stimulation. This
has always resolved within a few days.
ABS, BUTTOCKS AND HIPS
PROGRAMMES:
These programmes help improving
body toning and body shaping by
generating passive muscle contractions
in the selected area.
It may improve your general fitness
levels as well as achieving a thinner
silhouette by building up the muscles.
Recommended use:
Generally, 3 sessions per week, over a
period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives good initial
results depending on the body shaping,
toning, sports training or rehabilitation
and recovery needs.
PELVIS PROGRAMME:
This programme helps to improve body
toning and body shaping by generating
passive muscle contractions around the
pelvis.
It may improve your general fitness
levels as well as achieving a thinner
silhouette by building up the muscles.
Recommended use:
Generally, 3 sessions per week, over a
period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives good initial
results depending on the body shaping,
toning, sports training or rehabilitation
and recovery needs.
LEG PROGRAMME:
Most people are aiming for thin but
muscly legs with a harmonious balance
between the size of the thighs and the
size of the calves. Often, the calves are
either too skinny with only little muscle
mass or too big with a long muscle
mass especially around the ankle.

17
The aim of this programme is to tone,
shape and lift the calves’ muscles and
thighs to achieve slender legs with
improved definition of the muscles as
well as a slimming effect on the ankles.
Recommended use:
Generally, 3 sessions per week, over a
period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives good initial
results depending on the body shaping,
toning, sports training or rehabilitation
and recovery needs.
BUST PROGRAMME:
Electrical Stimulation can build,
strengthen, and firm the pectoral
muscles giving bulk and lift.
•Exercise and massage therapy to
enhance the size and shape of your
breasts
•Natural method to enhance your all-
natural body
Recommended use:
Generally, three sessions per week,
over a period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives
good initial results depending on the
body shaping, toning, sports training or
rehabilitation and recovery needs.
ARM PROGRAMME:
The upper arms often get saggy and
flabby especially in women with the
triceps (back of the upper arm). It is
commonly referred to as “Bingo Wings”
or “Bat Wings”. It is tricky to tone this
muscle group and some women find
this area ungraceful or even
embarrassing.
Beauty Max helps to tone, firm and lift
the triceps and the biceps as it allows
you to generate contractions in this
specific muscle group.
Recommended use:
Generally, 3 sessions per week, over a
period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives good initial
results depending on the body shaping,
toning, sports training or rehabilitation
and recovery needs.
PUBIS PROGRAMME:
After birth, it is common to experience
discomfort in the pubis region of the
pelvis. The aim of this programme is to
relieve this discomfort by activating the
muscles that support the area and
stimulating areas of the skin that are
close to the pelvic nerves that carry
information to the spine.
Recommended use:
Generally daily for as long as is
required. Each session should last a
maximum of 2 hours, with at least one-
hour rest between sessions.
MASSAGE PROGRAMME:
You can use the massage programme
to relieve stiffness caused by incorrect
posture caused by work (sitting for
extended periods at a desk, work on the
computer, driving for long periods,
constant standing, incorrect lifting and
carrying of heavy loads etc.). You can
also use the programme after intensive
exercise to prevent a stiffening of the
muscles or to help relieve stiffening
more quickly.

18
Recommended use:
The massage programme may be used
daily to relieve or prevent muscle
stiffness.
GENERAL ADVICE:
Ideally, use Beauty Max once every
two days for each muscle with a day of
rest in between. It is possible to work on
pairs of muscles, for example thighs
and abdominal muscles, treating one
set one day and the other the next day.
Massage programmes may be used
daily.
Warning: Working on too
many muscles at the same
time is not recommended.
Once good results have been obtained
the sessions may be reduced to once or
twice a week until the user feels that
optimum body shaping has been
achieved.
8. ELECTRODE PADS
8.1. PAD POSITIONING
The electrode pads must always be
used in pairs (two electrode pads on
each channel), so that the signal can
flow in a circuit. If using the channel
splitters, each channel will require two
pairs of electrode pads.
Note: The face electrode pad
acts as a pair of standard
electrode pads. Connect each
pigtail leads to the same channel on the
unit.
Electrode placement for EMS is very
important for obtaining the best
results.
Place two electrode pads over the bulk
of the muscle, with one electrode over
the muscle’s motor point. The motor
point is the area on the skin that is
located closest to the motor nerve’s
entry into the muscle – about 1/3 of the
way down the muscle from the spine.
Here, it is easiest to trigger a
contraction by electrical stimulation.
Experiment by moving the electrode
pads across the skin until you locate the
point over the muscle that gives the
cleanest contraction. In the examples in
section 8.3., the electrode pads are
marked +ve (red) and -ve (black) to
match the red and black leads. One of
the electrode pads should be
positioned over the motor point.
Large muscle groups may require
stimulation with two channels, that is,
four electrodes simultaneously.
When exercising smaller muscles, take
care to adjust the intensity level slowly
as the motor nerves may be more
sensitive and using smaller electrode
pads increases the current density.
You may feel more sensation in one
pad than the other. This is normal – it
depends on where the electrode pads
are in relation to your nerves.
Use the square electrode pads (see E-
CM5050) for all areas except the face
where specific electrode pads are
required (see E-CM3050).

19
Always check that the unit is OFF
before attaching or removing
electrode pads.
Beauty Max resets strength to zero if
the pad or lead is disconnected from
your body. This is to prevent sudden
changes in sensation when the pad
is re-connected.
8.2. PAD ADVICE
•The electrode pads supplied are
reusable but for single patient use.
•The adhesive is a peel-able hydrogel
(water based).
•To obtain the best conductivity
through the electrode pads always
ensure that they are in good
condition and tacky.
•Before use make sure your skin is
clean and dry.
•Peel the electrode pads from their
protective plastic shield by holding
and lifting one corner of the pad and
pulling. Do not pull on the pigtail wire
of the pad.
•After use always replace the
electrode pads on the plastic liner
and replace them in the re-sealable
plastic bag.
•If the electrode pads dry out, then it
is best to buy a replacement pack. In
an emergency, it may be possible to
restore some of the tackiness of the
pad by adding a tiny drop of water on
each pad and spreading around. If
too much water is added, the
electrode pad will become too soft. If
that happens then it is suggested to
try and re-establish some
adhesiveness, to place them sticky
side up in a refrigerator for a few
hours.
•In very hot weather the gel on the
electrode pads may become soft. In
such cases place them, still on their
plastic liners and in their pouch into
a fridge until they return to their
normal condition.
•The electrode pads provided are
latex-free.
•Replace the electrode pads when
they lose their stickiness.
Poor connection may cause
discomfort and skin irritation.
•Storage life of an unopened pack of
electrode pads is 2 years. This may
be affected by very high
temperatures or very low humidity.
