Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The MicrodermMD is a personal microdermabrasion device designed to help achieve smooth, glowing, and youthful-looking skin. It is presented as a simple and easy-to-use system, with treatments taking as little as 5 minutes. The device offers both automated and manual modes to cater to different user experience levels.

Function Description

The core function of the MicrodermMD is to perform microdermabrasion, a cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells from the outermost layer. This process aims to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath. The device utilizes a diamond tip that is moved across the skin, combined with suction, to achieve this exfoliation. The suction also helps to stimulate blood flow and improve contact with the skin.

The device is designed to treat various areas of the face, neck, and chest. It comes with optional accessories, such as a Pore Extraction Tip and an Infusion Tip, which expand its functionality beyond basic microdermabrasion. The Pore Extraction Tip is likely used for targeted removal of impurities from pores, while the Infusion Tip could be used to enhance the absorption of skincare products into the skin after exfoliation.

Usage Features

The MicrodermMD offers a user-friendly experience with clear instructions for both before, during, and after treatment.

Before Treatment:

1. Preparation: Users are instructed to wash their face with a foaming cleanser to remove dirt and oil, then gently pat dry. This ensures the skin is clean and ready for treatment.
2. Setup: The device requires connecting a power adapter to a wall outlet and then plugging it into the back of the MicrodermMD unit.
3. Power On: Pressing the Power button activates the motor for 2 seconds, indicating the device is ready for mode selection.

During Treatment:

1. Technique: Users are advised to brace the skin with their free hand and place the diamond tip flat against the skin. Short, even strokes are recommended to move the diamond tip across the skin.
2. Feedback: Users should feel suction against their skin with each stroke. If maintaining good contact is an issue, slowing down strokes and ensuring the tip remains flat against the skin is suggested.
3. Precaution: A key tip is not to stroke the same spot more than 2-3 times to prevent over-exfoliation.

Modes of Operation:

• Auto Mode (Beginners): This mode is ideal for new users. It guides the user through an entire treatment cycle for each zone of the face and neck.

  • To activate, press the "Auto" button, then "Start/Stop."
  • The screen displays the current face zone to treat, a preset power level, and a countdown timer.
  • Once the timer for a zone expires, the device automatically prompts the user to move to the next zone.
  • A full treatment of the face, neck, and chest in Auto Mode takes approximately 5 minutes.
  • The display includes "SUCTION POWER," "COUNTDOWN TIMER," and indicators for "FOREHEAD" and "TREATMENT ZONE." It also shows "AUTO" and "MANUAL" options, along with "LEVEL" and "TIMER" values (e.g., "88" for both).

• Manual Mode (Advanced): This mode offers more control for experienced users.

  • To switch to Manual Mode, press the "Auto" button again.
  • In Manual Mode, users can control the suction power level using "Up" and "Down" buttons.
  • It is recommended to switch to Manual Mode once comfortable with the device's operation.

After Treatment:

1. Tip Cleaning: Users should gently slide off the diamond tip, discard the black wool filter, and immediately replace it with a new filter. The diamond tip is then pushed back into place.
2. Skin Care: After treatment, wash the face with cold water to remove any remaining debris and gently pat dry.
3. Frequency: It is recommended to use the MicrodermMD 2-3 times per week to maintain smooth and radiant skin.

Maintenance Features

The primary maintenance feature highlighted is the replacement of the black wool filter. This filter is crucial for hygiene and the proper functioning of the device, likely trapping dead skin cells and debris removed during treatment. The instructions specify discarding the used filter and immediately putting a new one in place after each treatment. The device also includes "RUBBER O-RINGS" which are part of the hand probe assembly, suggesting they may need occasional inspection or replacement to maintain proper suction and seal, though specific instructions for these are not detailed in the provided text.

The device also emphasizes the importance of registering the warranty online, which implies a commitment to product support and potential future maintenance or repair services. The overall design suggests ease of use and straightforward maintenance, focusing on consumables like filters.
