I HAVE ECZEMA. WILL FACESHOT HELP TO EXFOLIATE?
Unfortunately, Faceshot™ cannot be used on skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis. This type of skin is very sensitive and can easily be irritated by exfoliating and overstimulating the skin.
CAN I REUSE THE NEEDLES SEVERAL TIMES?
The microneedles are designed for single use only for hygiene purposes. Dispose of them carefully after each use.
CAN I USE FACESHOT WITHOUT THE LIQUID VITAMINS AMPULES OR WITH A DIFFERENT AMPULE?
The Faceshot™ cannot be used without the Liquid Vitamin ampoules. The device has been specifically designed to work with these ampules to achieve maximum exfoliating results. Using an alternative may damage the device.
I HAVE AN ALLERGY TO GLYCOLIC ACID. CAN I USE FACESHOT WITH SOMETHING ELSE?
The Faceshot™ has been designed to be used specifically with the Liquid Vitamin ampoules to achieve maximum exfoliating results. We would recommend that you consider the FaceGym Hyaluronic Roller as an alternative to boost hydration and encourage cellular rejuvenation.
CAN I USE FACESHOT EVERY DAY?
For best results, we suggest using Faceshot™ every two days for a bootcamp or once a week to maintain a good exfoliation regime and healthy skin renewal. Use in the evening and do not apply any skincare or makeup after.
WHAT ARE THE MICRONEEDLES MADE OF?
The needles are made of medical-grade stainless steel.
CAN I USE FACESHOT IF I HAVE AN ALLERGY TO NICKEL?
The microneedles are made of medical-grade steel, which is low in nickel. However, it would be advisable to avoid use if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to nickel. An alternative product would be the FaceGym Hyaluronic Roller.
I'M EXPERIENCING A LITTLE REDNESS AFTER USE, IS THIS NORMAL?
Faceshot™ is an electric microneedling tool which provides a low-invasive skin treatment. As microneedling creates active pathways on the skin’s surface, on occasion, customers may experience a slight redness on the skin immediately after using the device. We would like to assure customers this is common for any microneedling treatment and dependent on skin sensitivity, should usually last no more than a few hours. If redness persists, an unperfumed cooling product such as aloe vera can be applied. Following your treatment, we advise you avoid using any stimulating skincare products such as AHAs, BHAs, retinols and exfoliating products for two weeks post.
