INTRODUCTION

NuFACE TRINITY® WRINKLE REDUCER ATTACHMENTThe NuFACE Trinity Wrinkle Reducer (Wrinkle Reducer) uses a precise combination of red and infrared lights to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. There are 36 LEDs in the attachment, composed of 32 red LEDs and 4 infrared LEDs that illuminate when the device is turned on and placed on the skin. Please note, the infrared light is not visible to the naked eye. This means that the infrared LEDs will not appear to be on when in use. However, they are on whenever the red LEDs are illuminated.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DEVICE 1. POWER ON/OFF BUTTON2. INTENSITY CONTROL UP3. INTENSITY CONTROL DOWN4. PROTECTIVE SHIELD/SKIN SENSOR5. TRINITY WRINKLE REDUCER ATTACHMENT6. ATTACHMENT RELEASE BUTTON

BEFORE USING YOUR ATTACHMENT1. The Wrinkle Reducer’s unique

technology flashes the LEDs to provide improved results. Use in a well-lit room if you find the flashing lights bothersome.

2. Firmly press the release button to remove or fasten the attachment.

3. When fastening a new treatment attachment, press the release button, guide the attachment in place (as pictured), and then release the button to secure the attachment to your NuFACE Trinity device.

4. For most devices, the +/- keys are not active when the Wrinkle Reducer is attached. If your device’s +/- keys are active, increase the power so all five output lights are illuminated.

5. Test your skin to make sure you are not sensitive to light. To do so, place the Wrinkle Reducer on your forearm for 3 minutes and then check the area. If it turns red and lasts for more than 2 hours, your skin is sensitive to light and you should not use the Wrinkle Reducer. 2

6. Before treatment, take a photo of your cleansed face in a well-lit room to document your results. After treatment, take a photo of your face/problem areas. Every eight weeks, take another photo of your face in the same room with the same lighting at the same location. Compare results to previous weeks of treatment.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

INDICATIONS FOR USEThe Wrinkle Reducer is an over-the-counter hand-held device intended for the treatment of full-face wrinkles.

CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE• Do not use if you have a history of seizures, especially

if you have photosensitive epilepsy, as the pulsing light could induce seizures.

• Do not use on the neck if diagnosed with or suspect a thyroid problem.

• Do not use the Wrinkle Reducer if your skin is sensitive to light. People can be sensitive to light and not be aware of it. In addition, certain drugs or cosmetics can cause skin sensitivity, as well as other factors. See the “Before Using Your Attachment” section for directions to test your skin.

• Do not use over any suspicious or cancerous lesion — consult your doctor.

• Do not use over topical or systemic steroids.

• Do not use if you are pregnant.

• Do not use on infants and children under the age of 14, and keep device and attachments out of the reach of children.

TREATMENT STEPS1. Follow all of the steps indicated in the “Before Using

Your Attachment” section.

2. Cleanse your face with an oil-free cleanser. Note: Do not use the NuFACE Gel Primer with the Wrinkle Reducer. The Gel Primer is for use with microcurrent devices/attachments only.

3. Remove your device from the charging cradle and turn it on by pressing the ON/OFF button. An ascending audible beep is emitted notifying you that your device is on, and the red LEDs will flash rapidly 3 times. Do not touch the Wrinkle Reducer shield until the unit has finished flashing.

4. Divide the face into 7 sections as pictured (Page 5).

5. Place the Wrinkle Reducer in direct contact with your clean, dry skin, over the area to be treated. Your Wrinkle Reducer has a skin sensor that will illuminate the red LEDs when in complete contact with your skin. Press firmly enough to keep the Wrinkle Reducer in direct contact with your skin. The device should be used on lines and wrinkles within the section, not specifically where the number appears on the photo. Treat each section for 3 minutes until beep sounds.

6. If the Wrinkle Reducer is not touching the skin, your device will emit 3 beeps notifying you to hold directly on your skin.

7. Your device will automatically shut off after 21 minutes indicating you are now finished with the treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS1. Why do I hold the Wrinkle Reducer directly on my skin?

To allow your skin to absorb as much light as possible.2. Why does the Trinity Wrinkle Reducer flash?

It flashes when it’s in use to increase the efficacy of the treatment. The flash treatment is unique to NuFACE. If you’re sensitive to the lights, you can wear goggles. You can purchase goggles from your local drugstore.

3. Why do some of the red LEDs look like they aren’t on? Some of the LEDs are infrared, which are not visible to the naked eye.

4. How long will it take to see results? It usually takes 6 to 8 weeks to see the start of the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Some people see results in a shorter period of time, while others take longer.

5. What can I do to maintain results? Once you achieve your desired results, use the device 2-3 times per week for maintenance.

6. Can I use my favorite anti-aging creams or serums with my Wrinkle Reducer? Yes.

7. How long do the red LEDs last? The red LEDs are unique and are designed to last more than 25,000 hours.

CARING FOR YOUR DEVICETEMPERATURE SENSORThe Wrinkle Reducer will normally get warm during a treatment. A temperature sensor will turn the device off if the internal attachment temperature exceeds 129.5°F. Allow the device to cool for 30 minutes before reuse should this occur.

CLEANINGUse a damp, soft, lint-free cloth and water or rubbing alcohol to clean the Wrinkle Reducer. Do not immerse in water at any time. 6

TROUBLESHOOTINGIf your Wrinkle Reducer is not turning on, please make sure all the below are true:

• The Wrinkle Reducer is completely attached to the device and fits snugly. Make sure to firmly press the release button when attaching and detaching the Wrinkle Reducer.

• The NuFACE Trinity device battery is fully charged. If not, please charge your device for a full 12 hours. The NuFACE Trinity device battery needs to be fully charged as the Wrinkle Reducer takes more power than the Facial Trainer Attachment (microcurrent).

• The Wrinkle Reducer is pressed completely to the skin, activating (or turning on) the LEDs. Remember, the Wrinkle Reducer has a skin sensor making the red LEDs turn on only when in complete contact with your skin.

• The Wrinkle Reducer has been allowed to self-calibrate. The attachment will automatically calibrate within the first few seconds of turning on the device. This is indicated by three rapid flashes of the red LEDs. Make sure you do not touch the Wrinkle Reducer while the device is calibrating.

• The gold connector board (as pictured) is clean. Avoid getting any gel, skin care products or dirt on the connector board. Should the connector board get dirty, we recommend wetting a cotton swab (not a cotton ball) with isopropyl alcohol to clean the face of the connector board, wipe dry, and then air dry for one hour before use.

If all the above are true and your Wrinkle Reducer is still not working please call NuFACE customer service at 888-360-9171. We’re here to help!

• Contact a doctor immediately if you suspect that you have had a negative reaction from using the Wrinkle Reducer.

• Do not store the attachment in the sun or on a hot surface. High temperature may be damaging.
