To ensure accurate measurements with Remedy
For precise measurements, follow these steps:
- Pre-Measurement Preparation: Ensure the skin is completely dry. If there's any moisture present (e.g., sweat, recent cleansing, cosmetics), wait approximately 30 minutes before taking measurements.
- 3 Repetitive Measurements: Conduct three measurements of the same area with a 2-minute interval between each measurement. Calculate the average of the values obtained.
The rationale behind conducting three measurements is to account for potential changes in the skin, such as variations in sweat secretion and body temperature due to factors like emotion and posture. By ensuring a stable condition and measuring three times at 2-minute intervals, you can achieve accurate measurements akin to those in clinical trials.
Can I apply aloe gel before using Remedy for high-frequency care?
For optimal high-frequency management, it's advised to use a lipid-rich cream. Lipids help fill the spaces between keratinocytes as the product is absorbed,maximizing barrier management effectiveness during high-frequency treatment. While aloe vera gel is an option, applying a cream beforehand enhances the benefits of high-frequency management.
What skincare products and cosmetics do you recommend for each treatment?
For High-Frequency (Lifting), it's recommended to use a nourishing cream with ceramide, applying a larger amount than usual (about two fingers' worth). This regimen is especially beneficial when the skin is dry, and the skin barrier score is low.
For EMS (Tightening), applying aloe gel enhances current conduction to the skin, facilitating better muscle massage. After treatment, allowing the aloe gel to fully absorb and applying a finishing cream can aid in skincare.
When engaging in Ion Boosting (Iontophoresis), it's advisable to use vitamin C ampoules, nourishing ampoules, and serums. Maximize effectiveness by gradually absorbing Remedy products over multiple sessions.
How I apply basic skincare products before using Remedy?
We recommend following this order for application: toner, eye cream, essence, and cream, before using Remedy. Applying a larger amount of cream than usual will enhance comfort during use. After completing the routine, apply a thin layer of cream once again for optimal skincare.
Is it okay to use Remedy every day?
Customized care is designed for daily use, customized to address your skin's specific needs. You can safely use it every day, but it's recommended not to exceed 15 minutes in a single session. This ensures optimal effectiveness and prevents overuse.
Does it help an improvement on dark circles under the eyes?
Clinical trials have substantiated that Remedy effectively diminishes eye wrinkles and minimizes under-eye sagging, instilling confidence in its efficacy. However, it's advisable to refrain from using it on the delicate eyelids due to their thin and sensitive nature.
Can it be used on the body?
While Remedy can be utilized on the body, it's best to prioritize facial skin, considering the body's thicker layers of fat and muscle. Using the same intensity may not yield noticeable heat or electric stimulation on the body compared to the face.
Can it be used on the shoulders?
Although Remedy can be applied to the shoulders, for optimal results, employing a dedicated shoulder massager device is advised. Such devices are specifically designed to apply pressure and effectively manage the shoulder area, offering more efficient results compared to Remedy.
Can it be used on the neck?
Remedy can indeed be utilized on the neck, providing benefits for facial line management and targeting the neck and lymph node areas. Focusing on the jawline, under the ears, and the neck, specifically the thyroid hyoid muscle, can help address double chins and enhance facial contours. However, it's essential to avoid the hollow area between the collarbones, which corresponds to the thyroid gland area. If there are any inflammations or underlying health conditions, it's advisable to consult with a specialist before using Remedy in these areas.

LED and vibration seems not working in Ion Boosting mode.
In the Ion Boosting (Iontophoresis) mode of the Remedy device, it's important to ensure that both the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities adhere well to the skin simultaneously for optimal performance. Here's what you can do if you're experiencing issues with vibration and LED functionality:

By following these steps, you can troubleshoot issues related to LED and vibration functionality in the Ion Boosting mode of your Remedy device and ensure a smoother treatment experience.
Can I use each LED colour for 5 minutes, or should I use only one colour each day?
It's advisable not to exceed 10 minutes of daily skincare with the Remedy device. This duration allows for sufficient time for the LED wavelength to penetrate deep into the skin, promoting its beneficial effects. However, changing LED colors too frequently within this timeframe may not be as beneficial for skincare. It's essential to allow each LED color an adequate amount of time to work its magic before switching to another color. This ensures that the skin receives the full benefits of each LED wavelength and optimizes the effectiveness of your skincare routine.
The light from the device hurts my eyes; should I avoid around eyes area?
The LED light emitted by the Remedy device is part of LED color therapy, which offers various effects such as regeneration and sterilization through different colors of light, all without affecting eyesight. However, if you find the light uncomfortable during use, it's perfectly acceptable to close your eyes while treating the eye area.
Each color of LED light serves a specific purpose:
- Blue LED light helps with sterilization.
- Red LED light aids in regeneration.
- Yellow LED light improves skin tone and supports effective skin regeneration.
By understanding the benefits of each color, you can tailor your skincare routine with the Remedy device to address specific skin concerns and achieve optimal results.

How to care for the device after use?
After using the device, it's crucial to wipe its head to prevent any foreign substances from solidifying and potentially causing skin irritation. Avoid using alcohol wipes for cleaning, as they may damage the device. Additionally, be cautious with skincare products containing alcohol, such as high anti-inflammatory toners, aftershaves, lotions, and hand sanitizers, as they can also harm the device. If you accidentally clean it with alcohol wipes, immediately wipe it with wet wipes, a dry cloth, or a similar gentle cleaning solution to mitigate any potential damage.
How long is the record of measurement stored after taking a measurement?

Do I need to use dedicated products (gel/ampoule) with the device?
You have the flexibility to incorporate your regular skincare products into your routine with Remedy. During customized care sessions, continue using your preferred products, ensuring to apply a generous amount of cream in the final step. In Single Mode, applying a lipid-rich cream before high-frequency treatment offers comfort and bolsters the skin's barrier. For days when you seek brightening effects, consider applying a vitamin C ampoule before your cream or lotion to amplify the whitening benefits. When engaging EMS (lifting) mode, the application of aloe vera gel or a soothing gel can heighten the sensation of current flow, enhancing your experience with the device.
Can I use Remedy without applying cream or lotion?
To ensure optimal absorption of the various treatment functions offered by Remedy, it's important to generously apply skincare products before use. This is particularly crucial when using high-frequency programs tailored to different skin conditions. By ensuring ample coverage of skincare products, you facilitate the effectiveness of the treatment. Additionally, when using high-frequency, you may experience warmth on the skin, further highlighting the importance of applying skincare products generously beforehand.
