Before using MyoGlow

  • Charge the device fully the first time, as described in the manual.
  • Read the contraindications section before your first session.
  • Remove makeup and SPF completely — product residue blocks contact.
  • Tie hair back and work in front of a mirror with good light.
  • If your skin is sensitive, test a small area first and start at the lowest setting.

Step 1 — Cleanse

Wash with your usual cleanser and pat the skin dry. Clean skin matters for two reasons: the treatment head makes proper contact, and anything you apply afterwards is not sitting on top of the day's grime.

Step 2 — Apply the appropriate serum or product

Apply the serum recommended for your device across the area you plan to treat. You want an even, generous-enough layer that the head glides without dragging. If the skin goes tacky mid-session, add a little more. Read about the MyoGlow serums and what each is positioned for.

Step 3 — Select the appropriate mode and setting

Power the device on and choose the mode described in the supplied instructions for the area you are treating. Begin at the lowest intensity your manual offers and only increase it if the sensation is comfortable. Different MyoGlow versions expose different modes, so use your manual rather than a video for another model.

Step 4 — Glide the device as instructed

Keep the head flat against the skin and move slowly and continuously — a steady upward and outward direction along the jawline, cheeks and neck is the conventional approach for massage-style facial tools. Do not press hard; contact and time matter more than pressure. Work each zone for the duration your instructions specify, then stop. Longer is not better.

After treatment

  • Leave the serum on, or follow with moisturiser as your routine dictates.
  • Use sunscreen the following morning; this is good practice with any routine change.
  • Some warmth or mild flushing after a session settles quickly. Persistent irritation means stop.

Cleaning

Power off and unplug. Wipe the treatment head with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove serum residue, then dry it. Never submerge the device, and do not use abrasive cleaners or alcohol unless your manual specifically allows it.

Storage

Store dry, at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, ideally in the supplied case or pouch. Keep charging cables away from water and do not store the device plugged in indefinitely if your manual advises against it.

Frequency

Use the frequency stated in your instructions. As a general principle for this category, short and regular beats long and occasional — the routine only works if it survives a busy week.

Common mistakes

  • Not enough serum. The head drags, the session becomes unpleasant, and you stop using it.
  • Pressing too hard. Pressure adds nothing and can irritate skin.
  • Rushing. Speeding through defeats the point of a slow, structured application.
  • Over-using. More sessions than instructed is not a shortcut to results.
  • Using over makeup or SPF. Always start from clean skin.
  • Skipping cleaning. Dried serum on the head reduces contact and hygiene.
  • Expecting immediate change. Judge over weeks, not days.

Safety considerations

Do not use on broken, irritated, sunburned or infected skin, over active acne lesions, or near the eyes unless your manual explicitly permits it. Speak to a qualified professional before use if you are pregnant, have an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker, have epilepsy, have had a recent facial procedure or injectables, or are under dermatological treatment.

How-to FAQ

How often should you use MyoGlow?
Follow the frequency stated in your supplied instructions. Cosmetic devices of this type are generally used in short sessions several times a week rather than for long daily sessions.
Do you have to use a serum with MyoGlow?
A serum or conductive product provides slip and is central to how the device is meant to be used. Using it on dry skin is uncomfortable and is not how the routine is described.
Can you use MyoGlow in the shower?
Do not assume any electrical beauty device is waterproof. Check the IP or water-resistance statement in your manual; if it is not stated, keep the device away from water.
How do you clean MyoGlow?
Power it off, wipe the treatment head with a soft, slightly damp cloth, dry it, and never submerge the device. Follow the manual's cleaning instructions for your version.
