- VisaPure cleanses your skin
deeply and stimulates blood
circulation. If your skin is used to
the treatment, you may
experience slight skin reactions
like redness or skin tightness on
occasion. If your skin is not used
to the treatment, these reactions
may be stronger and can last
longer, but should disappear
after some hours. To reduce
these skin reactions, you can
shorten the treatment time,
reduce the treatment frequency
and/or apply less pressure on
the skin during treatment.
After 2 weeks of daily usage,
your skin should have adapted
to treatment with VisaPure.
However, if you still experience
strong skin reactions after 2
weeks of daily usage, we advise
you to stop using VisaPure and
give your skin some time to
recover. You can continue your
treatment once the skin
reactions have disappeared,
using reduced treatment time
and frequency. If the strong skin
reactions reoccur, we advise you
to contact your doctor.
