with wet hands.

area, any areas that contain inammatory acne,

Preexisting Conditions
and Precautions

Do NOT use the MiniMD without rst consulting
a skincare professional if you have any of the
following pre-existing conditions:

» Lesions, warts, or recent herpes outbreak
» Sunburn or sun sores
» Active rosacea
» Auto-immune disorders
» Skin cancer
» Vascular lesions
» Any open wounds, sores or cuts
» Taking oral blood thinners (anti-coagulants)

Users with Sensitive Skin

The MiniMD can still be used by those with sensitive
skin, but you must take a few precautions. Use the
device on the Low suction level for at least the rst
few treatments. Apply calming lotions, moisturizers,
or witch hazel after each treatment.

You can still enjoy the benets of
microdermabrasion if you follow these steps. You
may also inquire about our ne-grade diamond tip
made especially for sensitive skin.

How To Use

Wash and dry your face before
starting each treatment.

STEP 1

Plug power adaptor into wall power
outlet. Check to see the LED light
has come on the power adaptor.

STEP 2

Press the power button again to
adjust the suction level to High.
We recommend starting with Low
Suction Level for at least the rst
few uses to allow your skin to get
accustomed to the treatment.

STEP 4

Press and HOLD the power button
“ ”. The device will turn on, and
the button/power level light will
light up. Your MiniMD is now on
the Low power setting.

STEP 3

9

With the suction motor running,
stroke the diamond tip against
the area of skin to be treated. It
helps to pull the skin tight or taut
with your free hand, especially in
hard to treat areas like the nose or
where you skin tends to be a little
loose like below the jaw or closer
to the eye area. The diamond tip
must be FLAT against the skin for
proper suction to take place.

Stroke the diamond tip against the
skin with smooth, even motions,
making sure not to stroke more
than 2-3 times in any given area.

Treat areas such as the face, neck,
chest, arms, hands, feet, or any other
body area 2-3 times per week using
this method. If it feels comfortable
to you, use the higher power level
for these other body areas.

Skin Care After
Treatment

You may experience some redness and sensitive
skin after your treatments. This is completely
normal. This will usually subside within a few
hours, and will vary greatly from person to person.

You can increase or decrease the suction level
or the amount of weekly treatments to suit
your own comfort level. Microdermabrasion is a
gradual treatment process that will continue to
improve the appearance and health of your skin
for years.

Wash your face with cold water to
remove dead skin cells and debris.

Apply Trophy Skin Argan Stem Cell
Serum or your favorite anti-aging
moisturizer.

STEP 1

STEP 2

Skin Care After
Treatment

The diamond tip that comes with your MiniMD
unit is made of real diamond powder, making it
very durable. The diamond tip is built to last at
least 6 months 1 year with normal usage.

To keep your tip in best condition, we suggest
that it be cleaned with an ultrasonic jewelry
cleaner every few months. You can purchase
an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner very inexpensively
online. Please contact us if you need more
information. Also, many jewelry stores will do the
cleaning at no charge or for a small fee.

We highly recommend this cleaning as it will
keep the diamond tip in new condition.

Make sure to remove the black
wool lter and replace it with a
new one after each treatment.

STEP 3

14

Skin Care After
Treatment

• Keep the device away from water and humidity.

• Be careful to prevent foreign substances from

entering the motor by keeping a black wool
lter in at all times.

• Clean the diamond tip with an ultrasonic

jewelry cleaner every few months.

• Replace the black wool lter after every

treatment.

• Be sure to unplug the power cord when the

MiniMD is not in use.

• Using a soft cleaning brush (like an old

toothbrush, nail brush, or small wire brush)
gently brush the head of the diamond tip after
each usage to remove dead skin cells and
debris.

Troubleshooting Tips

ISSUE: MiniMD does not turn on
SOLUTION: Make sure the power

adaptor is plugged in securely at
the back of the unit, and plugged
into the wall power outlet. Check
to see if the light is on above the
“Power” button. If the light does
not come on, please contact us for
a replacement power adaptor.

ISSUE: MiniMD has lost suction power
SOLUTION: Check the diamond

tip closely for any hairline cracks,
punctures or spaces that would
cause a lossof suction. Remove
the diamond tip and ensure that
both rubber orings are in place.
If either problem exists, contact
us for a replacement diamond tip
or new orings. If neither problem
exists, contact us for further
troubleshooting of your device.

16

ISSUE: Diamond Tip is no longer

coarse enough

SOLUTION: The Diamond Tip will

accumulate skin cells in between
the diamond grains over time,
making thetip feel smoother and
less eective at exfoliating the skin.
We recommend using an ultrasonic
jewelry cleaner to remove the skin
cells every few months. You can
purchase an ultrasonic jewelry
cleaner for use at home, or take
the diamond tip to a jewelry store
for professional cleaning. This will
restore the diamond tip back to
new condition.

About Trophy Skin

Trophy Skin was founded in 2009 with the idea that
costly in-oce skincare treatments such as light

medical spa and dermatologist inspiration, Trophy
Skin has created a range of devices that are safe,
eective, and easy to use for the average consumer.
Our customers use Trophy Skin products in the
comfort of their own home, on their own schedule,
and at a fraction of the cost of expensive, in-oce
treatments.

Since 2009, we have introduced an array of home
skincare products such as acne treatment,
microdermabrasion, antiaging and exfoliation. Each
device is highly eective for its intended usage, and
the customer reviews across the web are a great
testament to this. Keep checking our website often
for the latest and greatest in athome
beauty devices.
