introduction Congratulations on selecting SKINCLINICAL reverse for your skincare regimen. SKINCLINICAL reverse is a battery-operated, handheld, lightemitting diode (LED) device for the treatment of fine line facial wrinkles. SKINCLINICAL reverse emits gentle doses of red and infrared light leading to a reduction of these wrinkles. Please refer to the treatment protocol for additional information about treatment of fine line facial wrinkles. Before using SKINCLINICAL reverse, please review this manual in its entirety for the important information it provides. Dermatologists and clinicians worldwide have been using LED emitting clinical devices for many years to treat fine line wrinkles with great success. During the natural aging process, we lose appreciable levels of collagen which is the major supporting protein of the skin s cellular structure. As we age, this collagen depletion causes our skin to become more fragile, less able to maintain moisture and as a result thereof, less flexible. Thus begins the dreaded wrinkling process and the loss of that bright eyed vibrance we enjoyed when we were young. The sun s ultraviolet rays do more than just provide a nice sun tan. These UV rays damage our skin s supportive structure which inhibits the production of new collagen. The lack of sufficient replenishing collagen leads to fine lines and wrinkles. 1

indications for use SKINCLINICAL reverse is an Over The Counter (OTC) handheld device intended for use in the treatment of full face wrinkles. product benefits SKINCLINICAL reverse LED therapy works with the body s own natural processes to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. The SKINCLINICAL reverse system consists of Medical Grade ABS Plastic, ergonomic handheld treatment unit and a separate wall mounted Lithium Polymer battery charger with a standard micro USB connector similar to chargers used on many mobile phones. Please Note: Alternative Wall Chargers should meet the specifications in the Product Care and Maintenance section. When operating SKINCLINICAL reverse from a fully charged condition, the typical treatment time before the green fully charged Power On/Battery Status Indicator color transitions to the yellow Low Charge color is approximately 60 minutes. SKINCLINICAL reverse is tested as fully compliant with international standards to ensure that the emitted light will not harm your eyes. SKINCLINICAL reverse uses the latest state of the art high luminosity narrow spectral bandwidth LEDs with 4 separate wavelengths or colors of light and sophisticated micro controller, control and safety features in its design. These features make it a robust device that will provide many hours of beneficial treatment time and requires no special care other than a soft dry cloth wipedown from time to time. SKINCLINICAL reverse should be used only for the reduction of fine line facial wrinkles. SKINCLINICAL reverse is FDA cleared and classified as a medical device for treatment and reduction of fine line facial wrinkles. 2

When SKINCLINICAL reverse is ON, the Power LED should be green. Green = good battery charge. If the Power LED is YELLOW, this indicates the battery should be recharged. Please turn the power off, attach the USB wall mount charger and plug it into the power outlet until Charge Status indicator on the bottom of the product changes from flashing BLUE color to solid BLUE color. Once solid, the device is ready for use. The Power LED may change from GREEN to YELLOW color and you will hear a beep every 15 seconds advising you that the battery should be recharged. Once the LED turns YELLOW, there is at least 15 minutes of good usage time to complete your treatment cycle. After completing that treatment cycle, power off the device and attach it to the USB wall mount charger for a full charge before the next treatment. To maximize battery life it is best to charge the device only when the Power LED is yellow. It is normal that the plastic case and Stainless Steel ring of the device become warm to the touch during treatment. SKINCLINICAL reverse reduces facial wrinkles with a 3-minute a day per treatment area schedule. (See Fig. 1 for treatment area examples) SKINCLINICAL reverse uses 4 different colors or wavelengths of high intensity LED light to stimulate collagen activity beneath your wrinkles. 4

Fig. 1 : Examples of treatment areas. The following image and information will show what to do to accomplish your wrinkle reducing goal. Fig.1 SKINCLINICAL reverse works best by gliding the unit along small localized areas of the face, similar in size to the bubbles shown in the image. 5

sensitivity test Please Conduct This Test One Time Before Beginning Treatment And Within A 7-Day Period Of Product Purchase. Some people may be sensitive to the light outputs of SKINCLINICAL reverse. Should you fall within the sensitive group or experience any adverse reaction (which is defined as any pain or discomfort in the treatment area or any skin redness that lasts for longer than 2 hours after treatment), the device may not be suitable for you. Your sensitivity to the LED output of the device can be established by the following tests. LED Light Sensitivity Test: 1) Turn on SKINCLINICAL reverse unit and touch the aperture to your right forearm leaving it in contact without movement for 4 minutes. (See Fig. 2) Fig.2 2) The light output may result in a slight reddening of your skin for a period of 2 hours after application. This is normal. 3) If any redness or discomfort remains for any period longer than 2 hours, this product is not suitable for you and you may return it with your original receipt within 7 days from the date of purchase for a full refund. 6

treatment protocol Before treatment with the device, it is recommended that you use a high quality skin cleanser or exfoliating product to remove cosmetic dirt and oily residues from your face. The treatment protocol is simple: select a treatment area and use SKINCLINICAL reverse for 3 minutes a day on that treatment area. Do this at least 5 days a week for a period of 8 weeks. See Fig. 1 for treatment area examples --- For best results, keep the treatment area for each 3 minute session small and localized, following a 2 inch path along the lines of bubbles shown in Fig 1. Select a few treatment areas to concentrate on and continue the daily regimen for at least 8 weeks. Facial wrinkles do not appear overnight and they will not disappear overnight, so it is important to continue the daily regimen for optimal results. Note: For each treatment session, please keep the device in contact with the skin, while gliding it back and forth along the treatment area. Note: You will hear a beeping sound from SKINCLINICAL reverse as follows: a) Long beep when SKINCLINICAL reverse is turned on. b) Three beeps during treatment advising when the 3-minute treatment time is completed. c) Two beeps when SKINCLINICAL reverse is turned off. d) One single beep every 15 seconds advising you that SKINCLINICAL reverse needs its battery recharged. You should notice a decrease in your wrinkles over a 3 to 7 week period after the completion of the treatment sessions. 7

Some people see improvement during the treatment period but predicting results for all users during the treatment period is not possible. SKINCLINICAL reverse LED energy stimulates natural biological processes which lead to reduction of wrinkles. This process is cumulative and continues after the treatment sessions have stopped so it is imperative that you follow the treatment daily usage protocol. precautions For best results, please clean or wipe down SKINCLINICAL reverse before treatment with a clean soft dry cloth. You may use a soft cloth dampened with Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the stainless steel retainer and polycarbonate lens only. For protection from risk of damage to SKINCLINICAL reverse, do not leave any of the components in direct sunlight or in a storage area which may exceed 50 degrees Celsius / 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Charge SKINCLINICAL reverse ONLY with the wall charger unit that is in the product package. 8
