Depending on the selected program, the interface allows adjustments to treatment time and intensity. The Meso menu also displays automatic mode, M1–M4 programs, continuous output, and dosage adjustment.

Safety principle: Begin at the lowest appropriate setting and increase intensity only within the limits specified by the manufacturer. A program name alone does not establish the treatment depth or biological effect.

4. Hydra Dermabrasion – Liquid-Assisted, Vacuum-Based Skin Cleansing

According to the manual, the Hydra dermabrasion function uses a specialised handpiece, liquid flow, and vacuum suction. Its purpose is to help remove surface impurities, excess sebum, and dead skin cells.

Operating principle

The handpiece delivers liquid to the skin while the vacuum draws the liquid and loosened impurities into the collection system. Depending on the handpiece design and settings, the treatment also produces a mechanical cleansing effect.

Preparation

1. Assess the client's skin condition and ask about irritation, allergies, active skin conditions, and recent procedures.

2. Remove makeup and surface impurities.

3. Check that the handpiece, tubing, and reservoirs are clean.

4. Use only liquids approved by the manufacturer for the relevant treatment function.

5. Start with a low suction setting, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Treatment procedure

• Keep the handpiece moving continuously; do not hold it in one place for an extended period.

• Follow the treatment direction and technique specified by the manufacturer.

• Monitor the skin's response, particularly around the nose, chin, and forehead.

• Avoid excessive suction, prolonged vacuum application, and repeated aggressive passes over the same area.

• After treatment, assess the skin and apply suitable aftercare products according to the client's skin type.

Precautions

Do not treat open wounds, active infections, severely inflamed skin, or areas where vacuum suction could cause further injury. The manual also warns against using excessively viscous products in the suction system, as these may cause blockages.

After use, clean the liquid pathways according to the manufacturer's instructions. The manual refers to flushing the system with warm water, but the cleaning solution and disinfection procedure must be compatible with the device materials and the manufacturer's requirements.

5. Ultrasonic Vibration

The manual presents ultrasonic vibration as a universal treatment function. The program allows the operator to adjust treatment time and energy intensity.

The vibrating handpiece transfers mechanical energy through its contact surface. Its actual effect depends on the operating frequency, power, handpiece design, and contact medium.

Procedure

1. Clean the skin.

2. Apply the contact medium or compatible cosmetic product specified by the manufacturer.

3. Select the Ultrasonic Vibration program.

4. Set the treatment time and intensity.

5. Move the handpiece smoothly and continuously using the manufacturer's recommended technique.

6. Clean the handpiece after treatment.

Important information

The manual refers to tens of thousands of vibrations per second, but this does not independently establish the device's actual ultrasonic operating frequency. The frequency must be confirmed through the manufacturer's technical documentation.

Without verified frequency and power specifications, no claims should be made about treatment depth or specific biological effects.

6. Ultrasound-Assisted Product Application – Ultrasound Import

This function is intended for applying cosmetic products to the skin. Under certain conditions, ultrasound may alter the properties of the skin's surface layer and support the penetration of some substances. The actual effect depends on the device's technical characteristics and the product used.

Treatment procedure

1. Clean and assess the skin.

2. Select a cosmetic product compatible with the handpiece.

3. Apply an appropriate amount of the product to the treatment area.

4. Select the Ultrasound Import function.

5. Begin at a low intensity and follow the manufacturer's specified treatment time.

6. Keep the handpiece moving continuously.

7. Remove any remaining product if necessary and apply suitable aftercare.

Not every serum or ampoule is suitable for this function. Use only products whose composition, intended use, and compatibility with the device have been established.

Injectable preparations or ampoules intended for injection must not be introduced into the skin using this function unless the device and the product are explicitly authorised for that specific use.

7. Oxygen Spray – Oxygen Injection

The manual describes this function as a spray system that uses a stream generated from air and reportedly enriched with oxygen. The documentation refers to an oxygen concentration exceeding 95% and a pressure of 0.2 Pa.

These specifications cannot be considered verified without supporting technical measurement documentation. In particular, the pressure value should be confirmed with the manufacturer because the stated value may not accurately describe the operating pressure of the spray system.

Use according to the manual

• Fill the reservoir with the specified clean water.

• The manual indicates an operating time of approximately 1–3 minutes.

• Maintain the distance from the skin specified for the selected application.

• Apply the spray in a controlled manner to prevent liquid from running onto the neck.

• Ask the client to keep their eyes closed during treatment.

The manual describes different working distances for fine spraying and direct hydration. These distances should be confirmed with the manufacturer before being incorporated into a final treatment protocol.

Professional note: Oxygen spray is not the same as medical oxygen therapy. The actual oxygen concentration, flow rate, and treatment effects must be verified through appropriate technical documentation.

8. Radiofrequency Facial Treatment – RF Face

The RF handpiece uses electromagnetic energy that can generate heat in tissue. In professional cosmetic treatments, radiofrequency is used to support the appearance of firmer-looking skin.

The manual identifies an RF function, but the available images do not clearly establish the exact frequency, output power, electrode configuration, or temperature-control system.

Preparation

1. Review the client's health history and ask about implants, implanted electronic devices, sensory disturbances, and other relevant contraindications.

2. Clean the treatment area.

3. Apply the contact medium specified by the manufacturer.

4. Check that the handpiece is undamaged.

5. Select the RF Face program and use only settings permitted by the manufacturer.

During treatment

• Keep the handpiece moving continuously.

• Do not hold it in one place for an extended period.

• Monitor the client's heat sensation and the skin's response.

RF treatment is not suitable for every client. The manufacturer's contraindications and the device's conformity documentation must be followed.

9. EMS Eyes – Electrical Stimulation for the Eye Area

EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation. The device identifies this function as a program for the eye area.

The function uses electrical impulses to stimulate tissues in the treatment area. Its precise effect depends on the waveform, frequency, intensity, and electrode design. The available manual images do not provide enough information to establish the safe electrical output parameters for treatment around the eyes.

Basic operating principles

• Use only the handpiece designed for this function.

• Work only within the treatment areas specified by the manufacturer.

• Avoid direct application to the eyeball and surrounding areas unless explicitly permitted by the manufacturer.

• Do not use the function on clients with contraindications listed by the manufacturer.
