SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Ensure that all operators of the HydraFacial® System are trained and
licensed as required by the state or country. Do not operate the unit
before being trained. For any questions regarding training, call your
salesperson or Edge Systems.
2. Be sure to read the User Guide thoroughly before setting up the

system. If you experience mechanical and/or electrical difficulties
with your unit, call Edge Systems Service Department at 800-603-
4996.
3. Always use a clean tip for each procedure. The HydroPeel® tips are
for single use only. Use for more than one procedure may result in
infection.
4. Reusing contaminated skin solution can cause harm to the client and
will void all warranties.
5. Skin solutions should not exceed the “Use By” date on the bottle.
Should any products (skin solutions) settle, please contact your dis-
tributor or Edge Systems.
6. In the event that a client experiences irritation, discontinue the use of

the skin solution immediately.
7. Always do a client consultation (see Appendix) to determine if the

client is a candidate for the procedure. Follow contraindication list as
pre-determination for procedure.
8. Always begin procedure conservatively. Follow recommended

protocols and contraindications for skin type. Each client’s skin condi-
tions and sensitivity are different and suggested settings will vary
for each client. Do a sensitivity test on the neck by the earlobe and
increase or decrease the vacuum level as required. Skin conditions re-
quiring more aggressive vacuum settings are at operator’s discretion.
9. Do not work on sensitive areas such as the eyelids. Eyelids should be

closed at all times during the procedure and covered with protective
eyewear or damp cotton pads. Sterile eye rinse solution should be
available at all times to rinse the eyes.
10. Removing contact lenses prior to procedure is recommended.
