Chapter 8: Skin Care

SENSUS works by electrically stimulating your sensory nerves

through your skin. Many people have dry or sensitive skin, and

it is important to regularly monitor your skin where it contacts

the electrode to ensure that skin irritation does not occur. If your

skin becomes irritated, it can make the stimulation uncomfortable.

There are some simple things you can do to prevent skin irritation

and allow it to heal if it does occur.

Never use the device on open wounds or rashes or over

swollen, red, infected, or inﬂamed skin.

Keep Your Skin Moisturized

Dry skin can make the electrodes difcult to remove which can

potentially damage the electrode gel.

If you have dry skin or notice that electrode gel comes off the

electrodes you should consider using a light lotion 10 minutes

prior to SENSUS use.

Lotions that are light, non-greasy, fast-absorbing, and intended

for daily use will work best. Some examples include:

• Aveeno

Daily Moisturizing Lotion

• Lubriderm

Daily Moisture Lotion

• Gold Bond

Skin Therapy Lotion

• Curel

Daily Moisture Lotion

Make sure the lotion has absorbed fully into the skin before

placing the electrode and device.
