■Product Outline of "Medi Lift PLUS"
"Medi Lift" series works on facial muscles.One-touch attachment holds facial contour firmly for an efficient lifting*1.
✔ Wide surface band and EMS electrodes for a firm approach to facial contours
An even larger area of the face can be physically pulled up from lower jaw to the top of the head*2. A contact area between the skin and an electrode surface is approximately 2.5 times larger, hence EMS sensation is approximately 30% stronger*2.
✔ Approach with preferred EMS intensity for each of the Zygomaticus major and minor, as well as Masseter muscles
The electrodes output preferred EMS frequencies for different types of muscles.
"Release EMS", which approaches the Masseter muscle, can now reach deeper muscles.
✔ One-touch wearable device
Simply fasten a hook and a loop fastener at the top of the head. Designed for an easy attachment.
✔ No mode selection, 10 minutes*3 per session
Optimally programmed 10-minute course treatment to work on the muscles important for lifting*1. It is easy to use. Just put it on your face and turn it on.
"Zygomatic major and minor muscles” and "Masseter muscles” approached by "Medi Lift PLUS"
Exercising facial muscles *4 all together without differentiating among their characteristics may have an opposite effect for an aging care*5. "Medi Lift PLUS" works on the "Zygomaticus major and minor muscles" that need to be exercised with "Training EMS” *4. On the other hand, it approaches to the "Masseter muscle", which tends to become stiff, with “Release EMS”*6 to relax. The system automatically outputs the preferred electrical waveform for each area, making it attractive in that it can efficiently treat sagging simply by wearing the device.
■Introduction of "Medi Lift" series
Since its establishment in 1978, YA-MAN has developed numerous beauty devices for both home and professional use. Among many YA-MAN products, "Medi Lift" series is the one which broke new ground in the category of facial device, "hands-free wearable facial EMS device". Focused on working on muscles to solve concerns around the mouth, facial contour, eyes and neck. Based on the theory of facial muscles and EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) technology developed over many years, we have enabled a delivery of "the right waveform to the right part of the face".
Furthermore, in consideration of the busy lifestyles of today's modern people, we added a concept of "just wear it for 10 minutes*3 per session" to complete the care.
The series has received many cosmetic awards and is supported by many customers who aspire to beauty, regardless of their gender and age.
