1. TIPS ON USING THE VECTOR SYSTEM ili Hold the tweezers as close as possible to the skin without actually touching the skin The goal of the procedure is to direct as much current as possible into the hair shaft and to prevent leakage into the surrounding skin Therefore it is very important to make sure that the tweezers are never touching the skin during treatment This is best achieved by grasping the hair so that the tips of the galvanic tweezers are touching the skin and then pulling back slightly to create about 1mm of distance between the tips of the tweezers and the skin then press the foot pedal to apply current Holding the tweezers farther away from the skin will reduce the amount of current reaching the hair shaft Using the vector requires practice At first it may seem somewhat daunting removing hair one at a time but with time as you develop proficiency in the procedure you can actually remove hair fairly quickly over large areas The recommended treatment times are only approximate Since every individual has different resistance to current some people will require slightly different treatment times With practice you will be able to determine the optimal treatment time For successful treatment you should feel a stinging sensation and actually feel the hair follicle burning inside the skin This sensation should be tolerable if it is unbearably painful then you are over treating and need to reduce the power set2.

6. ting WARNING Operating the Vector System on a setting that is too high may result in permanent skin damage Always start out at the lower settings and gradually increase to determine the optimal setting for your body Sy ADDITIONAL NOTES Permanent hair removal is a gradual process which takes 90 days or more for the complete destruction of the follicle tissues Each hair must go through its entire growih cycle to be fully destroyed Hair may begin to grow in an area that was completely cleared several months after treatment Since human hair grows in cycles these hairs were resting at the time of the original treatment If normally takes 3 to 4 months for all the hairs to go through a complete growth cycle Continue treating the area when enough hair is present After each treatment you will notice a reduction in hair growth This reduction is permanent and will compound until there is no hair growing from the skin If the skin is scabbing excessively after treatment then you are over treating Reduce the power setting until you find a comfortable level The treatment is most effective when you feel a stinging sensation but the treatment can be very painful if the power is turned all the way up This setting is normally used for individuals who have a high resistance to current The Unitab electrodes are reusable After each use rinse the adhesive side with warm water then place back on the plastic sheet for storage If you
