The FOREO BEAR™ 2 eyes & lips is a microcurrent line smoothing device designed to target fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, and to plump the lip area. It combines advanced skincare technologies including Lifting Microcurrent™, Tapping Microcurrent™, and T-Sonic™ massage to deliver a comprehensive anti-aging treatment.
Function Description
The primary function of the BEAR™ 2 eyes & lips is to provide a non-invasive facial and neck stimulation for cosmetic use. It utilizes two distinct types of microcurrent, unique to FOREO, to achieve its effects:
- Lifting Microcurrent™: This technology repeatedly staggers current from low to high frequency, gently coaxing muscles into a natural lifting action, resulting in a more contoured appearance. This helps to firm and tone the delicate skin around the eyes and lips.
- Tapping Microcurrent™: This involves quick and short waves of current that flow through the upper layers of the skin. Its purpose is to brighten the skin and provide a plumping effect, contributing to a more youthful and radiant look.
In addition to microcurrent, the device incorporates T-Sonic™ Pulsations. These pulsations enhance the absorption of active ingredients from skincare products and gently massage the skin, which helps to boost radiance and improve overall skin health.
The device features Microcurrent Spheres that deliver the microcurrent directly to the skin, aiming for a tighter and more plump look. It also includes an Anti-Shock System™ which is a crucial safety feature. This system scans the skin's resistance to electricity and automatically adjusts the microcurrent intensity for maximum safety and comfort during use.
Usage Features
The BEAR™ 2 eyes & lips is designed for user-friendly operation, with several features that enhance the treatment experience:
- Refillable Serum Capsule: The device comes with a detachable capsule designed to easily store FOREO SUPERCHARGED™ Serum. Alternatively, it can be used with FOREO SUPERCHARGED™ Eye & Lip Contour Booster capsules, which are specifically designed to fit the device and provide an instantly plump and highlighted look. This ensures that a conductive medium is always available for optimal microcurrent delivery.
- Smart Swedish Design: The device is lightweight and gently curved, making it comfortable to hold and allowing it to fit the contours of the face and hand for easy maneuverability during treatments.
- Universal Button: A single universal button controls the device. It turns the device on/off, allows users to change the microcurrent intensity level, and puts the device into Bluetooth pairing mode for connectivity with the FOREO For You mobile app.
- Intensity Indicator Lights: Five indicator lights illuminate to show the current microcurrent intensity level of the device, providing clear visual feedback to the user.
- Bluetooth Indicator Light: This light flashes to indicate when the device is in Bluetooth pairing mode and also signals when the device needs to be charged.
- Interactive App: The FOREO For You mobile app is an integral part of the BEAR™ 2 eyes & lips experience. Users can access video-guided treatments and a wider range of intensity settings through the app. The app is also necessary to unlock and register the device before first use.
- Customizable Preferences: Users can select their preferred microcurrent intensity. The device defaults to 'Beginner Mode' (levels 1-5), but 'Pro Mode' (levels 6-10) can be accessed via the app's settings for more advanced treatments.
- Application Process: To use the device, users first apply a conductive serum or booster, such as FOREO SUPERCHARGED™ Eye & Lip Contour Booster, evenly across the treatment areas, leaving a thin mask-like layer. Then, the device is turned on, and the metallic spheres are lightly pressed to the skin and slowly glided around the orbital bone, mouth, and forehead as desired. For lip plumping, the spheres are tapped and flicked around the outside of the lip line.
- Safety Guidelines: It is crucial to use the device with conductive skincare and ensure both microcurrent spheres are touching the skin during treatment. The device should always be glided in upward and outward motions. It is explicitly advised not to use microcurrent devices on the midline bone of the neck or within the orbital bone.
- Charging Port: The device features a charging port that allows for up to 180 minutes of use per USB charge, offering convenience and portability. A USB charging cable is included for charging anytime, anywhere.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the BEAR™ 2 eyes & lips device:
- Cleaning: After each use, the device should be thoroughly cleaned. This involves removing the capsule, washing the metallic spheres and silicone surface with water and soap, and then rinsing with warm water. The device should be patted dry with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth or towel. For optimal results, FOREO recommends spraying the device with FOREO's Silicone Cleaning Spray and rinsing with warm water. It is important to avoid cleaning products containing alcohol, petrol, or acetone, as these can irritate the skin and damage the silicone.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance for common issues, such as the device not activating (suggesting a low battery), not switching off or responding (indicating a temporary microprocessor malfunction), or not syncing with the app (recommending Bluetooth toggling, app restart, or app update).
- Battery Removal for Disposal: For environmental responsibility, the manual provides detailed instructions for safe battery removal before disposing of the device. This process, however, is irreversible and will void the warranty, and should only be undertaken when the device is ready for disposal.
- Warranty: The device comes with a 2-Year Limited Warranty covering defects due to faulty workmanship or materials under normal use. Users are encouraged to register their device through the FOREO For You app or website to activate their warranty.
The FOREO BEAR™ 2 eyes & lips is designed to be a sophisticated yet accessible tool for individuals seeking to address signs of aging around the eyes and lips, offering a blend of innovative technology, user-friendly design, and comprehensive safety features.
