What is VisaCare and how can it help your skin? Age, lack of sleep, emotional stress or environmental elements can take their toll on your skin. When you start to see the first signs of skin ageing and your skin does not seem to recover so quickly anymore, your skin requires extra care and attention. That is why we have developed VisaCare, our exciting new approach to address the first signs of ageing, for a youthful looking skin today and tomorrow. Depending on your skin, you can experience immediate effects such as smoother and revitalised skin after one session or a few sessions. Effects such as skin firmness and a more even skin tone can be expected within 4-6 weeks.

You can use VisaCare in the comfort of your own home to enjoy smoother, firmer and revitalised skin. VisaCare comes with a dual-action system that exfoliates and massages at the same time. This system is more effective and controlled than exfoliating your skin with your hands only. Designed to enhance your current routine, use VisaCare after cleansing your skin and before applying a nourishing mask, day cream or night cream. After use, your skin is prepared for better absorption of the mask or cream. Ready to get started? Use VisaCare at home twice a week to enjoy real and visible results.

How Philips Microdermabrasion technology works

Philips VisaCare offers a DualAction Air Lift & Exfoliation system, which massages and exfoliates at the same time. This stimulates the resurfacing process of the skin for firmer, smoother and visibly radiant skin.

1 The exfoliating tip renews and unveils skin that is smoother, with more

refined texture, and firmer by stimulating your natural cell renewal process. It gently nudges away roughness, flakiness to refine the skin and to prepare the skin for better absorption of your favorite cream after use.

2 The Air Lift System™ creates a gentle, stimulating massaging action

encouraging blood circulation while removing dead skin cells and revitalising your skin.

VisaCare enhances the absorption of your creams and facial masks. Due to this enhanced uptake, a negative skin reaction can occur. The advice is to not change between creams during the first 2-4 weeks of using VisaCare. When you start to use a new cream after this period, first test this cream on a small area. Do not continue to use this cream if there is a negative skin reaction when you apply it on the skin on which you used VisaCare. When you start to use the device, or when you restart after discontinuing for more than 2 weeks, begin again with the sensitive tip. This will allow your skin to once again become used to the device.

Contraindications and other warnings

This device has been developed to address the first signs of facial ageing. As the epidermal skin layer becomes thinner over the years due to extrinsic and intrinsic factors, rough skin and signs of photodamage become more prominent. The focus of this device is facial skin (excluding the area underneath and above the eyes).

Do not use this appliance:

If you have skin infections, open wounds, rashes, burns, sunburn, inflammation, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, telangiectasia (couperose or spider veins), sensitive skin, active infections like herpes or active acne breakouts in the areas to be treated.

If you have large moles, tattoos, port wine stains, permanent make-up or any skin irritation in the areas to be treated.

If your skin is still recovering from a cosmetic procedure, such as a chemical or mechanical peeling, laser resurfacing, fractional laser treatment, or mesotherapy treatment or any other treatment with dermal fillers in the past two weeks.

If you are taking medication that may affect your skin, such as steroids or acne medication (Accutane, Isotretinoine or Roaccutane). Consult your doctor.

If you have warts, do not try to erase them with this device. It can spread the warts.

If you have scars, consult your doctor or dermatologist before you start using the device.

In combination with any other home skincare system containing an active peeling ingredient.

General advice

After each session it is advised to use a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or above on the areas on which you used the device, for a minimum of 3 days.

If you have a significant skin condition (including but not limited to melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, melasma, systemic lupus erythematosus, porphyria, coagulation abnormality and collagen abnormalities such as keloid wounds, excessive scar formation or a history of bad wound healing), consult your doctor before you start using the device.

If you plan to enjoy the sun (e.g. summer holidays) we recommend that you stop using the Firming tip and only use the Brightening tip one week before the holidays and as long as you are extensively exposed to the sun.

Charging

Charging the appliance

English

Note: You can use the appliance before the battery is fully charged. However, its performance and operating time will not be optimal in this case.

Note: Charging normally takes approximately 8 hours. When the appliance is fully charged, it has a cordless operating time of up to 30 minutes.

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off. 2 Insert the small plug in the socket of the charging stand and insert the

adapter in the wall socket.

English

3 Put the appliance in the charging stand.

The charging light flashes white to indicate that the appliance is charging.

When the battery is fully charged, the charging light lights up white continuously. After approx. 30 minutes, the charging light goes out to save energy.

'Battery low' indication

When the battery is almost empty, the charging light flashes amber for 4 seconds during use and after you have switched off the appliance. The battery still contains enough energy for a complete 5-minute session. When the battery is completely empty, the device switches off automatically and the charging light flashes amber very quickly.

Preparing for use

Make sure you have charged the appliance for 8 hours before you use it for the first time.

Application tips

VisaCare comes with two different tips:

’Normal’ tip for regular use.

’Sensitive’ tip for mild use.

We advise you to use the ‘Sensitive’ tip during the first sessions to see how your skin reacts. If the skin reacts well to the ‘Sensitive’ tip, you can try the ‘Normal’ tip. Normal and adverse skin reactions are described elsewhere in this user manual (see 'Troubleshooting').

Note: Use the QR-code on the front cover or follow the link to watch the online video for instructions on correct use of the appliance.

Using the appliance

Note: Use the appliance twice a week. Do not use the appliance more often, as this may cause skin irritation.

1 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.

2 When you use the appliance for the first time, test the tip on your forearm

before you use it on your face. Move the appliance over your skin once and then wait for approximately one hour. If a possible skin reaction diminishes, you can safely use the tip on your face.

Note: Always visually check the tip before use to see if it is damaged. A damaged tip scratches your skin. If the tip is damaged, replace it.

Note: Do not use the device without the tip as this does not benefit your skin and may cause an unwanted skin reaction.

3 Put the tip on your face in such a way that you feel the suction. Make

sure there is always full skin contact between the tip and the area to be treated. However, do not press the tip hard onto the skin’s surface.

4 Gently move the tip in straight lines. Start on the chin, and then move to

the cheeks, forehead and nose. make sure you treat all areas.

Tip: Use your free hand to stretch and hold the skin. Move the device away from your hand. This makes it easier to achieve proper suction, especially on the temples and cheeks.

See facial map in the back of the user manual for detailed instructions on how to move the appliance across your face.

Note: Do not move the appliance over large moles, tattoos, port wine stains or permanent makeup.

Note: Do not use the appliance on the skin below or above the eyes, as it is thin and delicate. When you use the appliance on the fine lines on the side of the eye, put a finger of the other hand in the corner of the eyelid and move the device away from the finger towards the temple.

English

After treatment

Note: Do not hold the treatment tip in one spot when you have placed it on the skin.

5 Depending on the type of tip and the condition of your skin, start to treat

each area 2-4 times. When you skin is used to the treatment, increase to 4-6 times or start to use the normal treatment tip. When you use the normal treatment tip, start to treat each area 3-4 times. When your skin is used to the treatment, increase to 4-6 times.

6 When you have treated all areas, press the on/off button to switch off

the appliance. A complete session takes approximately 5 minutes.

Depending on your skin type, you may experience a warm and tingling sensation and your skin may become slightly red. This is only a temporary effect that should diminish within 5-10 minutes.

Tip: In areas where full skin contact is harder to achieve, such as the forehead, try different ways of holding the appliance. Try vertical and horizontal movements to find the best way to establish proper contact with your skin. You can also hold your hand still and move your head instead.

Caution: If you suspect damage to the appliance (such as after a drop or bump), examine the tip carefully. If the tip is damaged, replace it. Do not use a damaged tip, as this may cause scratches.

After the treatment, apply a nourishing mask, day cream or night cream and make sure you use sun protection when you go outside.
