Rio 60 Second Face Lift Facial Toner

Product Information

Programme Programme 3: Infusion The infusion programme gives a continuous high frequency sensation. There are 10 power levels. We recommend starting on a low power level on each treatment area and building up until a strong tingling is felt. Programme 1: FIRMING - Rhythmic 2 second muscle contractions to condition muscles with a short 3 second interval between each pulse. Programme 2: TAP TONING - Rapid stimulating action. The pulsing massage action lasts 5 seconds followed by a 3 second pause.

The green led continually flashes on & off, is this right? Yes, after selecting your required program, there will be a brief pause before the green led begins to flash on & off throughout the treatment. Although EMS is safe when in devices designed for facial use, it is still putting electrical currents into your face and there are some circumstances in which you cannot use it, including… The forehead can require higher intensity levels than normally used on other areas of the face, however it is important to remember to return to lower intensity by pressing the - button several times before returning to treat the facial area. The issue of scars and moles is that they can change the surface profile of the skin, which in turn can cause local changes to how the micro currents enter the skin, theoretically leading to a variation in the micro current density across the pad/skin interface. The result might be increased discomfort and/or possible chemical changes on the skin surface which would not occur After removing patches, you can massage any residue into your skin. After use, switch the unit off. Press and hold the programme/on/off button for 2 seconds. Note: If unit is left on, it will automatically switch off after 10 minutes.

It comes with 17 settings. God knows what 17 is like because 8 is bloody painful. I’d say if you have a low tolerance of pain then 8 is good. It really contracts the muscle enough in my opinion.

Tone and firming has a lifting effect on the face together with plumping out to reduce the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This in effect is a natural alternative to dermal fillers. If you already have dermal fillers you should seek advice from whoever gave the treatment as they could consider whether it could be combined – dermal fillers can only achieve so much. The microcurrents would not have any direct effect of the filler. It is important to note that if you stop doing it, the effects won’t remain. It has to be done frequently and long-term to see true results, as the results build over time. So, exactly like working out the rest of you! How to work out your face at homeTopical skincare is the bread and butter of a skincare routine but we believe in a holistic, 360˚ approach when we’re treating the skin, being inside, outside and on top. That “inside” stands for the nutrition you give to your body through food and supplements but it also means the muscles that lie under your skin. There is a very simple answer to your question. You are probably either right/left handed or chew your food on the right/left side or both. The muscles on the right/left side of your face are as a result more developed and more toned and will respond more vigorously to the EMS stimulation. Over time your right/left side will improve and gain important tone and firmness The collagen and retinol treatments should only be used once in 24 hours and we would recommend 48 hours if you have sensitive skin. Always do a patch test with the conductive gel on an inconspicuous area of your skin 24 hours before use. If any irritation occurs do not continue treatment. Likewise if you have a skin reaction when first using the collagen and retinol patches, do not continue treatment. Is there anything I must avoid after treatment? The Rio has another uber cool function: it can be used for iontophoresis, aka the infusion of ingredients into the skin via electrical current. It comes with specifically designed collagen and retinol patches that you apply to the skin. Once the patches are applied to the area, you select the Infusion programme on the Rio and gently roll the machine across it for 60 seconds, repeating this on the patches for between 10 to 30 minutes (5 to 15 minutes per patch).

This is where the pain comes in. I have a very low pain threshold it has to be said. I am such a baby. My husband says I say Ouch for nothing, just like a reflex action. Practised for over 40 years in beauty salons, faradic facial toning uses EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) to gently contract and relax facial muscles to help tone, lift and tighten. This stimulation also increases local circulation, bringing more oxygen to the skin cells and removing toxins more rapidly, to leave the skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The Galvanic Treatment uses small micro currents to carry the active ingredients for skin repair and rejuvenation deep into the skin, known as Galvanic Infusion or Iontophoresis, infusing collagen and retinol to help further combat the appearance of frown lines, crow’s feet and marionette lines.Programme 3: Infusion The infusion programme gives a continuous high frequency sensation. There are 10 power levels. We recommend starting on a low power level on each treatment area and building up until a strong tingling is felt. How often can I repeat the Treatment? For best results we recommend following the Faradic Facial Toning regime every day for the first few weeks, alternating between programmes 1 and 2 each day.

I read that the two little lights on the right of the machine indicate the highest setting. That was the one for me.

Well, yes actually. It does this because of the tightening and firming of the muscle in whichever area you are treating. By pulling the muscle tight, it also makes it stronger and that in turn pulls the skin tighter, making lines less visible. My Conclusion
