introduction The Rio Lift 60 Second Face Lift features 2 treatment methods to tone, lift and rejuvenate. FARADIC FACIAL TONING uses EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) technology. The pulses do all the hard work for you as they gently tone and tighten sagging facial features and rejuvenate the skin. IONTOPHORESIS INFUSION uses the collagen & retinol patches. The active ingredients are infused deep into the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help increase skin elasticity.

FARADIC FACIAL TONING Practised for over 40 years in beauty salons, faradic facial toning uses EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) to gently contract and relax facial muscles to help tone, lift and tighten. This stimulation also increases local circulation, bringing more oxygen to the skin cells and removing toxins more rapidly, to leave the skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Important: Use a mirror during treatment to help with positioning.
TREAT M ENT ZON ES FOREHEAD AND BROW Position one contact just above the end of your eyebrow, centred between the eyebrow and hairline. Angle the unit so the other contact sits centrally between the brow and hairline. CHEEKS UNDER EYE Use the line where your delicate under eye skin meets your eye socket bone as a guide, position one contact on this line and directly under the centre of your eye. The other contact should follow the contour outwards.
UPPER & LOWER LIP NECK Position contacts symmetrically just above lip edge. Increase power to give a good contraction. Repeat this just under the lower lip. If your lips appear to pull unevenly to one side this is natural. Position contacts in a line below the earlobe. For best position, keep contacts in line but slide the unit forward or backward slightly until you find the strongest contraction. Move to the centre of the neck just under the jawline.
US ING YOUR UNIT For best results we recommend following the faradic facial toning regime every day for the first few weeks, alternating between programmes 1 and 2 each day. Afterwards, use as required to maintain good tone. STEP 1 Apply a generous amount of conductive gel to each of the ball contacts. Apply plenty of conductive gel to ensure good contact with the skin.

know your MUSCLE GROUPS While using your face, you may be aware of certain muscles being exercised. This is a helpful guide to help you decide which ones they are? LEVATOR PALPEBRAE SUPERIORIS Opens the eyelid. NASALIS Used to twitch the nose and flare the nostrils. CORRUGATOR SUPERCILII Wrinkles forehead. FRONTALIS Draws scalp forward, raises eyebrows and wrinkles brow. Very important for expression, this muscle raises the brows and wrinkles the forehead.
IONTOPHORESIS INFUSION TREATMENT ZONES Iontophoresis Infusion uses small micro currents to carry the active ingredients for skin repair and rejuvenation deep into the skin. This transdermal infusion greatly increase the effectiveness of topically applied treatments which would otherwise find it difficult to penetrate skin. LIFT gel patches contain positively charged collagen and retinol as anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing agents.
PROGRAMME 3 - INFUSION 2 STEP 2 Place one patch onto the area to be treated. Place the other patch on the opposite side of the face. The infusion programme gives a continuous high frequency sensation. There are 10 power levels. We recommend starting on a low power level on each treatment area and building up until a strong tingling is felt. IMPORTANT: For infusion you must remember which ball contact is which polarity.
