2.2. Attaching a Diamond Treatment Head
The Sonicrefresher comes with 3 diamond treatment heads of varying sizes and strengths. Select the appropriate head for your desired treatment area and skin sensitivity. Gently twist and secure the chosen diamond head onto the device until it clicks into place.
2.3. Filling the MicroMist Reservoir
For the optional Wet setting, locate the reservoir on the back of the device. Open the reservoir cap and carefully fill it with water or a suitable toner. Ensure the cap is securely closed before use to prevent leaks.

3. Operation
3.1. Powering On and Selecting Speed
Press the On/Off Power Switch to turn on the device. The LCD screen will illuminate. Use the speed setting button to cycle through Low, Medium, and High power levels. Choose a speed appropriate for your skin type and the area being treated.
3.2. Microdermabrasion (Dry Mode)
For dry microdermabrasion, ensure the MicroMist function is off. Gently place the diamond treatment head against your skin and glide the device across the desired area. It is crucial to keep the Sonicrefresher moving at all times; never hold it stationary over one area of skin to avoid bruising or irritation. The device is designed to buff away dead skin cells, revealing fresh, vibrant skin.
3.3. MicroMist (Wet Mode)
Activate the MicroMist function by pressing the MicroMist button. This feature can be used during or after microdermabrasion. The device will emit a fine mist, providing gentle rejuvenation and infusing soothing hydration into the skin. This mode is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin or for a calming finish to your treatment.

3.4. Post-Treatment
After treatment, your skin may appear slightly red. Apply a calming serum or moisturizer. Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after treatment and always use sunscreen.
