Derma Wand TM * - Professional Results Skin Care
You are about to embark on a journey to reclaim the beauty of your skin.
Derma Wand technology is not new. Skin care therapists have depended
on this same corrective therapy for many years. Now, for the first time,
this highly advanced tool has been condensed in size, but not results.
Derma Wand represents new hope in restoring the overall appearance of
your skin. Think of it as intense physical therapy for your skin.
This is how it works…..The Derma Wand imitates hundreds of fingers
patting the skin’s surface at 100,000 cycles per second. This is a
welcome stimulus to tired, aged skin. As a matter of fact, it is the best
way to stimulate the skin into a new firmer position; without pulling or over
manipulating fragile skin fibers. Over manipulation of the skin is an enemy
and should be avoided as it encourages slackening.
This arousing stimulus helps to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles.
Puffy, saggy eyes come alive. Is your skin looking gray and pasty? You
will quickly enjoy a new, revitalized appearance, and a healthy tone.
When you use your Derma Wand you will notice that suddenly there is an
aroma of fresh, clean air. This is going to bring a new clarity and
relaxation to stressed skin, like breathing new life into your complexion. It
also provides an incredible cleansing; so effective in fighting blemishes
that skin care professionals can eliminate many blemishes in only 1 day!
The main components behind this extraordinary tool simply cannot be
duplicated or found in any “off-the-shelf system”, or other facial machine.
Derma Wand is not like any other facial machine. Other machines work
on muscle toning. Derma Wand concentrates on skin toning. Our skin is
like fine leather and does not respond as easily as our muscles; so more
encouragement is required. The skin needs activity and will respond to
3

the Derma Wand’s signal. So, if you use muscle-toning machines, please
use your Derma Wand after those procedures for your skin’s benefit.
Derma Wand is the skin recovery tool. You can safely use the Derma
Wand wherever the skin appears slackened, the neck, upper arms, thighs,
etc. Skin care professionals commonly use this same technology for total
body treatments.
The exciting stimuli and the enriched oxygen cannot be found in any bottle
or in any other tool. Only Derma Wand can supply this type of recovery.
This powerful resource boosts the performance of your existing skin care
products. If you have been disappointed with results from lotions you
have purchased, add the Derma Wand and see the difference it makes.
Derma Wand is not time consuming; only 2 to 5 minutes is required. It is
safe, without side effects and is tolerated by even the most sensitive skin.
Some of you will notice a difference, even after the first use….better tone,
a tightening effect and definitely a revitalized appearance. Some may
take a little longer. Within a few short weeks you will notice a change.
You will see why the skin care industry relies on this same technology to
keep their clients enjoying a beautiful and youthful complexion.
You can expect to see the diminishing of lines and wrinkles, lazy and
slackened looking tone, puffy eyes and the dark circles that accompany
them, enlarged pores and a dull tired appearing complexion.
This is not about magic…this is about results!!! As skin care professionals
we know that the Derma Wand is effective. If you have any questions or
concerns call us, toll free, at 1-888-819-3005. We are here to make a
difference!!!

General Instructions For Use
1. Always thoroughly cleanse and dry your skin before starting.
2. REMOVE CAP BEFORE USE. Turn the dial to the lowest setting, 1.
As soon as the unit is plugged in it begins its wave action. The bulb will
not glow however, until it touches your skin.. After your Derma Wand
has not been used for several days, it may take up to one minute for
the unit to begin to work.
3. Touch the bulb to your hand to experience the Derma Wand. You will
feel a slight tingling sensation and the bulb will glow with an orange light.
4. Place the bulb directly on your face to experience the sensation.
Remember to remove the cap first. Always work at the lowest setting
for the first few days. When you no longer feel the intensity of the stimuli,
that is the signal that your skin is ready for the next level. Work at the
next level for another few days until you no longer feel that intensity.
Continue this program until you are at a maximum comfort zone. The
Derma Wand is effective even at the lowest setting. Your comfort setting
is dependant on your skin sensitivity.
5. Apply a moisturizer of your choice to your face and neck as usual.
Empower your product by sweeping the Derma Wand over the entire area
in a circular motion over top of your beauty product for 2 to 3 minutes. The
bulb should sweep lightly on the surface of the skin, always touching the
skin. It is not necessary to apply pressure onto the skin. For thighs or
other slackened skin areas, work at higher levels for 4 to 5 minutes.
6. Use your Derma Wand once or twice a day to start. After a few weeks,
you can maintain your skin by using it 3 or 4 times a week. If your skin
starts to look dull or stressed, just go back to daily use.

Derma Wand For Blemishes
The Derma Wand produces enriched oxygen, right on the surface of your
skin. This provides an extra level of purification to reduce, or even
eliminate blemishes.
Bacteria cause blemishes. The Derma Wand is one of the most effective
anti bacteria agents available.
Begin by cleansing with your favorite cleanser. Next, give your entire face
a Derma Wand cleansing by lightly sweeping the Derma Wand over your
entire face for 1 to 2 minutes. You can do
this in either a sweeping motion:
or a circular motion:
6

Next you need to dab the blemish by lifting the tip off of the skin slightly:
Finally, because bacteria travel along the skin, Derma Wand the area
around each pimple in a circle of about 1 inch:
Repeat this 3 or 4 times each
day.
Beauty care professionals use
this procedure to get rid of
occasional pimples in less than
one day. You may still see
some redness but the infection
can be killed almost
immediately.
Try the Derma Wand on cold sores. If you can catch them early enough,
they will never appear!

Derma Wand Exercises:
Puffy Eyes: There isn’t a cream or lotion that can help with this dilemma.
However, we do need to use an eye cream when using Derma Wand
around the eye area. Always use the Derma Wand at its lowest setting.
This is important as the eye area is super delicate. Remember those
hundreds of patting fingers? That will help to relieve puffy eyes. You may
even experience a runny nose right after as it helps to decongest the
excess fluid in the eye area. What a relief!!!
Starting outside the eye, slowly sweep the Derma
Wand across underneath the eye to the nose,
lightly gliding the bulb over the surface of the
skin. Keep the bulb on the bone area.
Then, continue over the
eyelid and back to the
outside of the eye.
Repeat this 5 or 6 times on each eye. Do not
expect to see instant results. Wait 15 minutes
and you should see remarkable improvement.
Eyebrows and Forehead: Begin with the
Derma Wand at the inner edge of your eyebrow.
Slowly glide the Derma Wand up to the hairline
with light pressure. Hold to a count of 3.
Repeat from the center of the eyebrow and the
outer edge.
Repeat the entire exercise on both eyes, 5 or 6 times.
8

The Chin and Jowls: Begin with your Derma
Wand on the center of the chin. Slowly glide
along your chin line to your earlobe, while
applying light pressure. Hold the Derma Wand in
this position for a count of three. Then lift it off
your skin.
Next, beginning at the center of the chin, glide up
and over to the corner of the mouth. Hold the
Derma Wand in this position for a count of three.
Then lift it off your skin.
Finally, beginning at the
center of the chin, glide
around to the side of the
nose. Hold the Derma Wand in this position for a
count of three. Then lift it off your skin.
Repeat on both sides 5 or 6 times.
Eyelids: If you are noticing that your eye
shadow is becoming less noticeable, try this
exercise to bring new life to your eyes. Place
the Derma Wand under your eyebrow near the
nose and lift while pressing in. Do not slide
the Derma Wand as in the other exercises but
merely lift the skin slightly. Hold for a count of 3. Repeat this in the center
of the brow and near the outer edge. Repeat 3 or 4 times on each side.
Enlarged Pores: Right after cleansing your skin, use your Derma Wand
around and over of the enlarged pore area. Work at a higher level for
about 30 seconds. Do this every day until there is an improvement. Each
time, follow with your moisturizer and Derma Wand.

Extra Helpful Tips
• If you experience excessive peeling, you are using the Derma Wand at
too high a setting for too long a period of time. The Derma Wand will
promote exfoliation of the skin, but this should not be overdone. If you
experience a drying sensation to your skin, add more moisturizer after
using your Derma Wand. A second application will only be a temporary
requirement. The Derma Wand penetrates your product further into the
skin, which helps to replenish the deeper layers. In no time your skin
will be softer and silkier.
• We caution against the use of high concentrations of AHA or other
abrasive products. When you apply your products and you feel a
tingling or burning sensation this is a signal that your skin is in stress.
Also, many of these products thin the skin in hopes of thinning out lines
and wrinkles. We do not advocate this science. A woman’s skin thins
more rapidly than a man’s. Skin that is thin cannot defend itself against
lines or wrinkles or loosening. Even though initially the skin feels or
looks more alive from these products, in the long term this causes
added structure breakdown. We recommend the use of hydrating
products and the Derma Wand. The Derma Wand promotes a natural
exfoliation with enriched oxygen and is not overly aggressive. Our goal
is to replenish the skin, not delete an all ready fragile condition.
Strengthening the skin with hydration and the Derma Wand stimuli will
fortify the skin’s ability to defend itself against breakdown and you will
be more successful.
• If you experience excessive drying, check your products. Are you using
AHA’s or glycolic acids? Even high concentrates of vitamin products
such as A and C vitamins can cause unwanted stress to the skin. Try
to use sensible hydrating products instead.

• If you notice any redness after using the wand, that is good!!! It means
the circulation is feeding those tired cells. This helps to re-new your
skin and has many benefits. Any massaging will cause redness to
occur. This is normal. If you experience excessive redness or swelling,
stop use. Resume when skin regains its normal texture and color.
• Do not use the Derma Wand on skin that is prone to excessive amounts
of broken capillaries or to a Rosacea condition. Having a few broken
capillaries is not a problem.
• Do not use in any mucous membranes (eyes, mouth, nose, etc.) The
Derma Wand is not to be used internally.
• Do not use if you have a pacemaker or other electrical medical device.
If in doubt, consult your physician.
Note on pregnancy:
• During pregnancy a number of natural changes may occur in our
complexion. Some women develop acneic conditions. Others
experience skin discoloration. The list goes on and on. These changes
are merely the result of natural hormonal changes that may occur.
These are not related to the use of the Derma Wand. If you are
pregnant or suspect that you are, we recommend you postpone use of
your Derma Wand.
