[. . . ] Cellesse SenseActive Cellulite - a typically feminine problem Cellulite ­ What can you do about it?Read carefully before using the Cellesse SenseActive Instructions for use The new product in the Cellesse range with enhanced 3-in-1 VacumotionTM combines proven effectiveness with a pleasurable massage - your best choice in fighting cellulite! cellesse SenseActive is the latest product in the Philips Cellesse range. Clinical tests show that the deep, pleasant massage produced by its new, improved massage system can help you reduce or prevent unattractive cellulite more effectively than ever before ­ comfortably and easier to use, too. [. . . ] 1 Roll-up The front roller, made of soft-touch material and with small raised pads, gently picks up the skin and guides it into the suction bell. 2 Suction The vacuum lifts the skin even more to form a fold, enabling the massage to reach the cellulite layer effectively. 3 Massage Four rollers, working together, give the cellulite layer a pleasurable and deep massage, removing the main cause of cellulite ­ the excess fluid surrounding the fat cells. The rear rollers then gently guide the skin away. Sensor control and indicator light To make the treatment as effective as possible, the Vacumotion system will only initiate its suction action if the Cellesse SenseActive is making proper contact with the skin. A special sensor `feels' whether this is the case, and lights up a small indicator lamp on the front of the appliance to show that proper contact is made. That means you can always be sure that you're using the Cellesse SenseActive correctly. Intensity settings You can determine the intensity of the massage yourself, using the continuously variable control. Remember that the massage should always be pleasurable. If you ever find it painful, reduce the intensity to a comfortable level. Vacumotion Stop Vacumotion Stop is a simple and safe way to interrupt or stop your treatment at any time. Press the Vacumotion Stop button, and the motor-driven rollers and the suction action will stop and you can lift the appliance off your skin without any effort. The Vacumotion Stop is always within reach, because there's one on each side of the product. We recommend you use Cellesse SenseActive three times a week, each time spending 10 to 15 minutes on each leg. Clinical tests have shown that this type of regular treatment can visibly reduce cellulite and significantly smoothen the cellulite layer in the skin within one month. Naturally, results will vary from individual to individual, depending on how bad the cellulite is to start with and on the individual's lifestyle. If you do, after a while the cellulite layer will start to swell again as a result of the natural tendency of women's bodies to retain fluid. This means you'll get the best results from Cellesse SenseActive if you use it regularly. We recommend you use it three times a week during the first two or three months. After this time you can reduce to a maintenance programm of, say, once a week or 5 minutes three times a week on each part of the body to be treated (depending on your personal preference and skin type). This should be enough to keep your fluid retention under control. Although the undesirable consequences of cellulite are visible on the surface, its causes lie deep inside the skin. [. . . ] Always move the appliance in one direction only: moving upwards towards the heart. Move the appliance slowly and gradually from a little above the knee to the upper part of your thigh. Stroke from just above the knee to the upper part of the thigh will take approximately five seconds. The indicator light goes out and the Vacumotion action is temporarily switched off. [. . . ]
