Daily facial cleansing with
VisaPure
Cleansing procedure
Note: The appliance does not work
directly from the wall socket (Fig. 2).
Note: Do not use the brush head on
the sensitive skin around the eyes.
- If you have sensitive
skin or experience
skin irritation after
using the appliance
with the normal brush
head, we advise
you to switch to the
sensitive brush head.
- 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
1 Push the brush head onto the
connection pin until it locks into
position with a click (Fig. 3).

water or liquid cleanser or apply

4 Press the on/o button once to
switch on the appliance. Press twice
to switch o the appliance (Fig. 5).

5 Gently move the brush head across
your skin from the nose towards the
ear (Fig. 6).
Do not push the brush head too
hard onto the skin to make sure the
treatment remains comfortable.

your face.
