Interesting information on colla­gen

The collagen exposure uses visible red light
with a frequency of 633 nm in order to stimu­late the body's own process of "Photo Bio Sti­mulation". This process is mainly responsible
for the development of collagen and elastin
and provides a more taut, youthful and fresh
complexion. The penetrability of the skin
for cosmetic products is also increased so
that the effective nourishment can penetrate
deeper into the skin. Skinfresh can be used
on the whole body and is particularly suitable
for the: face, eye contours, hands, feet, thighs
and legs.

• Regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin

• Visible anti-aging effect: combats wrinkles
and fi ne lines.

• Improves the skin's appearance for une­ven skin

• Clinically-proven stimulation of collagen
and elastin

• Preparation of the skin for cosmetic appli­cations

• Reduces the effects of damaging environ­mental infl uences

Information on UV exposure

• Please observe the recommendations
with respect to exposure periods, exposu­re intervals and distance from the lamps.

This is why the following cautionary measures
must be taken:

• Seek medical advice if stubborn swel­lings or wounds form on the skin or if
pigmented moles change their appea­rance;

• Protect sensitive areas of skin such as
scars, tattoos and sexual organs be­fore exposure;

• Please consult a physician before ap­plying further exposure if side effects,
such as itching, occur within 48 hours
after the fi rst use.

In new units, the lamps may fl icker or display
shadow effects. This does not have an effect
on the function.

Slight blackening may appear on the ends
of the lamp but this does have any infl uence
on the function of the unit or the life span of
the lamps.

persons (including children) with re­stricted physical, sensory or mental
capacity or by persons without the ne­cessary experience and/or knowledge

use the unit.

• Children do not recognize the dangers
that can occur when using electrical
equipment. Therefore, never leave
children to work with electrical equip­ment when unsupervised.

voltage in your building before connec­ting the unit to the mains.
