CUPPING TREATMENT
• The cups are designed to be used on lightly oiled skin. We recommend a light application
of a simple baby oil, olive oil or liquid coconut oil to the skin before treatment. Please
avoid perfumed oils as these can damage/discolour plastic surfaces. Do not use on
un-oiled skin.
• If you know that you are prone to bruising easily, you may wish to carry out a patch
test on a small area prior to full treatment to assess the effect on your skin. As with any
vacuum cupping treatment, temporary bruising may occur on the treated area, but
should resolve within a few days.
• Attach your chosen cup to the device by locating the lugs and twisting into position. The
larger cups are generally suitable for areas such as thighs and buttocks and the smaller
cups for areas such as arms and calves.
• Slip your hand under the silicon strap and press the power button. This will activate the
vacuum suction and IR heat simultaneously. There are 3 levels of continuous suction
and one of intermittent suction as indicated by the 3 LEDs. Press the + and – buttons to
change levels. Intermittent suction is the gentlest setting and is indicated by a single LED
pulsing on and off. Note: there is no IR heat on this gentlest setting.
• We recommend starting with either intermittent or low continuous suction while you get
used to the device. Place the device onto the skin and immediately start to move it slowly
in a circular or back and forth motion across the area to be treated taking care to maintain
contact between the cup and the skin. There is no need to apply pressure, but do keep the
device moving at all times. If the suction feels too strong or if it's hard to keep the device
moving, press the power button to release the vacuum. Start again at a lower intensity
level and/or with a larger cup. In normal use, you will see and feel the skin being drawn
up into the cup and across the massage fingers.
• To stop the treatment at any time, simply press the power button to release the vacuum.
• Treatment of each area usually takes around 3-5 minutes. Treat up to 3 times a week
for the first week building up to once a day if desired. Skin will typically start to appear
smoother after just a few weeks.
• Never treat areas of irritated or broken skin, or over varicose veins or moles.
• If bruising occurs it is always recommended to wait for this to fade before re-treating the
same area.
• Remove the cup after use by twisting counter-clockwise.
COOLING TREATMENT
• After removing the cup from the device, attach the cooling head by locating the lugs and
twisting into position.
• Press the power button to activate the cooling. The stainless-steel surface will start to
cool down immediately. Use the + and – buttons to adjust the cooling temperature as
required to what feels comfortable for you. Level 3 (3 LEDs lit) is the coldest.
• Gently apply the cold surface onto the skin, moving slowly over the whole of the treated
area. Continue with this treatment for a few minutes to help soothe and firm the skin.
Press the power button to switch off.
PLEASE NOTE: Auto-switch off will occur after 10mins of cooling. If further cooling time is
required the unit can be turned back on for another 10 minute session.
