ELECTROSTIMULATION
Electrostimulation exploits a natural principle of our body. The brain in fact stimulates muscles
through electro-chemical impulses conveyed to the bres.
In the same way, through its electrodes, TUA TRE’ND conveys special low-voltage currents to the
muscles and tissues. These currents are controlled and absolutely safe, able to cause the passive
contraction of the muscle bres and increase blood ow in the areas involved.
As and from today, all the advantages of electrostimulation are at your disposal.
In human beings, skeletal muscle contraction is controlled by the central nervous system by means
of electro-chemical impulses conveyed through the nervous system.
The electro muscle stimulator is an appliance able to generate specic electrical currents that
cause muscle contraction by substituting the impulses generated by the central nervous system.
In this case, the current is applied at the point where the nerve comes into contact with the muscle
cells (neuromuscular plate).
By modulating a series of variable parameters like the frequency of electrical impulses, duration
of contraction and recovery, etc....various programs can be obtained useful for achieving dierent
goals, strengthening muscle power, toning up beauty treatment, right up to the decontraction of
injured and contracted muscles. Besides the correct positioning of the electrodes (see attached
tables), care must also be given to choosing the right program for the result to be achieved.
On this in fact will depend to a great extent the success of training through induced electric
stimulation.
BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTIMULATION
Training by electrostimulation provides a number of advantages which, when used according to
criteria suited to the specic
context, are such as to
integrate and partially replace
voluntary training. Among
these can be included:
- Selective stimulation of the
muscle group or part of this.
By positioning the electrodes
correctly on the dierent
muscles, a specic stimulation
can be achieved on the
selected muscle. Reducing
activity of the adjacent
muscles to a minimum. This
is unlike what happens in the
case of voluntary contraction,
where the muscles always
work according to specic
muscle chains and synergies.
For example, the selective
stimulation of the quadriceps
Voluntary brain-marrow-muscle
triggering

muscle, or one of its heads (like the vastus medialis) can be achieved.
- Maximum recruitment of muscle bres. By setting suitable current intensities, the maximum
recruitment of muscle bres can be obtained, something hard to achieve through voluntary
contraction.
- Absence of load on joints. Especially on the spine, where problems in this area often represent a
limitation to physical activity in both sedentary and sportspersons.
- Absence of general body tiredness. This makes it possible to concentrate a high number of
specic intensity training stimulations within a short period of time. A large volume of work is thus
done that would otherwise be impossible, within the same space of time, during the performance
of traditional muscle activity programs.
- Rapid progress.Whether sports training, beauty treatment or rehabilitation after injuries, progress
is always fast. In this latter case in fact, with due parameters, electrostimulation can be promptly
used, thus considerably speeding up recovery and strengthening processes.
MAIN CONTRAINDICATIONS AND WARNINGS
- During the menstrual cycle, skin conductivity changes; stimulation could prove less pleasant.
- Stimulation can cause reddening of the skin where the electrodes are applied, above all in the
case of people with very sensitive skin.
Such reddening is perfectly normal and usually disappears fairly quickly.
- Patients allergic to the gel of the electrodes should suspend treatment and see a doctor.
- Do not apply the electrodes on hyperpigmented areas (large moles) and varicose veins.
- Do not apply the electrodes directly on the breasts but rather on the muscles that support the
breasts.
- Do not use in intimate and delicate areas - armpits, groin, knee cavities.
- Do not use on the abdomen of pregnant women.
- Do not use TUA TRE’ND on children, pace-maker wearers and people in weak psycho-physical
condition or with physiological and organic ailments.
- Do not use on people with metal prostheses, silicone prostheses or aorta-abdominal bypasses.
- Do not use in transthoracic mode to prevent interference with the heart beat.
- Do not use on people suering from epilepsy or multiple sclerosis.
- Do not apply near transplants.
- Do not apply to persons suering from tumour syndromes or major neurological illnesses.
- Do not use on animals.
- IN CASE OF DOUBT, SEE A DOCTOR

Switch on the appliance while keeping the central key pressed for over 1 second.
TUA TRE’ND Face features 5 treatment programs which can be selected by means of the right
arrow key (forward movement) or left arrow key (to move back) each of which is specic
for a face area.
The example shows the program 1
selection procedure – specic for the cheek
bone area.
The display shows the number of the
selected program, the total treatment time
expressed in minutes (in this case 3), and
the battery charge, the face icon showing
the area to be treated and the program phase indication.
At this point, the selection procedure ends and treatment can start. To start the program press the
ENTER button.
The intensity of the stimulation current
expressed in milliamperes is indicated
on the display screen on the right. This is
initially set at 00.
By means of the up arrow button and
down arrow button the desired value
can be set (with single step pressures of 1
mA, or by keeping the buttons pressed so forward movement is continuous and faster).
In the example, the value is set at 20 milliamperes.
The progress of the treatment time is indicated by the ashing clock icon and that of the minutes
symbol. The number to the left of the clock symbol represents the selected program work phase.
REGULATING THE INTENSITY
Always remember that individual sensitivity to current can vary considerably and very much
depends on the physiological condition of the person, on perspiration, on the adipose layer, on
the condition of the electrodes and on the level of battery charge.
It is a good idea to increase the impulse level until maximum muscle contraction is achieved with
acceptable current intensity.
Thebestresultscanbe achievedwithdeepcontractions, but withouteverreachinguncomfortable
and troublesome current levels.
The pulses are alternated with intervals; intensity adjustment must only be made during pulses
and not during the intervals to avoid undesired excessive stimulations.
At the end of treatment, switch o TUA TRE’ND by keeping the enter button pressed for
about 2 seconds.
USING THE FACE APPLICATOR
TUA TRE’ND uses a special face applicator consisting of 2 sprung electrodes adjustable in every
direction to be able to adapt to every face conformation.
The stainless-steel electrodes are covered by special cellulose sponges.
Before each treatment, dampen the sponges well using normal tap water and the special spray.
Be very careful: the sponges must be perfectly wet, otherwise they insulate and do not
conduct the pulses.
Do not wet the electrode under the tap. Water could leak inside and remain there for a long
time.

RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
Use the battery charger provided to recharge the battery set supplied with the appliance.
The batteries must be recharged when ample and deep muscle contractions are no longer
achievable. By means of the graphic display icon, TUA TRE’ND Face indicates the battery charge
condition. When the battery is completely down, the appliance switches o and can only be
switched on again after changing or recharging the batteries.
To recharge the batteries, t the battery charger plug in the socket and connect the battery charger
to a power mains supply point.
The battery condition icon starts ashing
on the display screen. After charging the
battery charger automatically disengages
and the battery condition icon remains on
the display screen.
If correctly used, battery life expectations are
around 300 charge/discharge cycles.
For safety reasons, during battery
recharging, appliance operation is
deactivated.
If the appliance is not used for long periods
of time, remove the batteries from their
housings.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES

FACE APPLICATIONS (POSITIONING OF ELECTRODES)
1 • CHEEK BONE AREA 2 • CHEEK AREA
Position the applicator vertically, just above the corner of the mouth, as shown in
the photo; during operation, the applicator can be moved along the entire cheek
bone and just skim the eyelid.
A second treatment envisages the electrode being positioned obliquely at the corner
of the mouth; this can be moved as far as the ear for a complete stimulation of the
lower part of the cheek bone, skimming the cheek.
In this exercise, the applicator must be positioned obliquely, right at the corner of
the jaw.
During treatment, the applicator can be moved as far as the ear, following the
shape of the face, for a complete exercise on the entire cheek area.
This exercise contracts and lifts the upper lip, causing the cheek and the lower part
of the nose wing to stretch.
The stimulation of this area tones the cheek and gives the face a relaxed
expression, as if slightly smiling, increasing the volume of the lip and combating
the appearance of vertical wrinkles typical of ageing.
A slight stretching is obtained
of the corner of the mouth and
the contraction of the muscles
of the entire area, which will
appear more toned and rm.

FACE APPLICATIONS (POSITIONING OF ELECTRODES)
3 • FOREHEAD AREA 4 • CHIN – JAW AREA AND NECK
This program has been developed to stimulate several areas: the chin, jaw and
neck area.
The applicator must be rested on the temporal region, with the two electrodes
located obliquely between the ascula of the ear and the edge of the eyebrow,
slightly above the latter.
During the exercise, the applicator can slide on the remainder of the forehead in
order to treat the whole area.
Mind the intensity of the stimulation. The forehead muscles are in fact very thin
and delicate. Consequently lower the intensity slightly if necessary.
Stimulation of the forehead muscles helps reduce expression wrinkles and raises
the eyebrows.
4.1 Chin area:
the applicator is positioned
horizontally on the chin, right
underneath the lower lip.
This exercise make the lower lip puy
and often increases its volume. It
contrasts atrophy.

28
29
FACE APPLICATIONS (POSITIONING OF ELECTRODES)
4.3 Neck area:
the applicator will be positioned
vertically and during the exercise will
slide in this position to extend the
work to the entire area.
Be careful because these muscles are
delicate. To start, use low stimulation
intensities.
4.2 Jaw area:
the applicator must be positioned
immediately below the jaw,
between the corner and the apex,
following the conformation.
During the exercise, the electrodes
can slide along the entire lower
jaw for a complete exercise on the
whole area.
This exercise contracts the chin and tones up the jaw area, helps sculpt the face
oval and reduces the stretching caused by the drop of the Bichat’s fat pad.
5 • BAGS UNDER THE EYES
This application is dedicated to the eye area.
The applicator must be positioned underneath the lower eyelid.
The lower lid and bag are contracted without lowering.
This is a very useful exercise because it provides draining stimulation and the
“squeezing”of the bags under the eyes.
Be careful because this is a very delicate area, to be treated with low intensity.
