How to Use ageLOC Galvanic Spa
The ageLOC Galvanic Spa includes different conductors for face, scalp, and body, but they are all used in similar ways. Specific instructions for individual applications can be found on pages 282-289. Please read the instructions before starting to use the device.
For each use, you must attach the appropriate conductor to the device. The skin touching both chrome contact points must be moist to successfully conduct galvanic currents.
Attaching a Conductor:
Hold the device with the display facing you. Align the conductor positioning indicator with the device and then press the conductor down from the sides until it clicks into place (Figure 1). If the conductor does not connect, ensure it is facing the correct direction and is positioned correctly. Do not force the conductor as it may be damaged. ageLOC Galvanic Spa will not function if one end of the conductor is not securely attached.
Removing a Conductor:
Turn the device so the chrome panel faces you. With your free hand, grasp the conductor by the sides and then press the release button (Figure 2). Gently pull the conductor away from the sides.
Display Lights:
The display will remain illuminated while the device is on, when you select, and during an application. If the display turns off and on, it is either because the device has lost contact with the skin or the skin is not moist enough to conduct the current.
Product Usage:
Apply the recommended amount of product to the desired area on your face, scalp, or body.
Selecting Application:
Press the selection button until the desired number is illuminated (Figure 3).
Activating Galvanic Current:
Your fingers must touch the chrome panel on the back of the device while the conductor touches the skin.
We recommend wetting your hands thoroughly with water or NaPCA Moisture Mist to improve conductivity.* If your fingers slip off the chrome panel during use, do not worry, just adjust your grip on the device and continue the spa treatment.
*Note! The skin touching both chrome contact points must be moist to successfully conduct galvanic currents.
During Application:
The device will beep every 10 seconds indicating it is on and functioning. When there are 30 seconds left in an application, the device will beep every 5 seconds until the application is complete.
Interrupting Application:
You must keep the conductor in contact with the target area and keep all contact points moist (Figure 4). If you break contact with the chrome panel or the application head, the display will turn off and on. The device will turn off a few minutes after use ceases.
Completing Application:
At the end of the treatment, the device will emit one long beep followed by two shorter ones and will automatically turn off. If you wish to perform another application, press the selection button to access the next application number. To turn off the device, simply press the selection button until the display disappears.
Discontinue use if you experience inflammation, redness, or adverse skin reactions.
