FAQ™ 102 Using Instructions

Before first use, download the FAQ™ For You app to register your device and activate the warranty.

Step 1: Prepare Your Skin

*CAUTION: FAQ™ 100 RANGE DEVICES MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE STARTING YOUR TREATMENT. THESE DEVICES MUST NEVER BE USED ON THE THYROID AREA, THE EYEBALL, OR THE AREAS DIRECTLY ABOVE OR BELOW THE EYE WITHIN THE ORBITAL BONE. DO NOT STOP MOVING THE DEVICE ON YOUR SKIN AT ANY TIME WHEN USING POWER-RF (radio-frequency). Before using the FAQ™ 102 device, preparing the skin is essential. Clean and dry your face and neck carefully so there is no remaining residue. Then, apply a thin layer of FAQ™ P1 Manuka Honey Primer to the areas you wish to treat. This primer will soften the skin, enhance elasticity, and ensure the device glides smoothly during the treatment.

Step 2: Select the Treatment

After selecting the treatment in the FAQ™ app, lightly press the base of your device to the face so that all five gold plates are in contact with your skin at all times. Depending on the treatment, slowly glide the device in tight circular and/or straight motions, as shown in the app's comprehensive How To Use section.

Smoothing the Forehead Activate the RF setting and apply a soft touch to the center of your eyebrows. Guide the device in a soothing figure-eight motion from your brows to your forehead, repeating this cycle three times for 10 seconds each. Moving on, begin at the forehead's center, gently creating small, circular motions that gradually extend to the outer brow corners. Repeat this four times, spending 15 seconds on each side. Now, shift to the opposite side. Afterward, deactivate the RF function and switch to EMS. Press the device gently against the center of your eyebrows and slide it to the top of your forehead. Remove and repeat this process six times, allocating 5 seconds for each repetition. To continue, starting from the forehead's center, guide the device directly to the outer brow corner. Repeat this movement four times, dedicating 15 seconds to each side. Repeat the same process on the other side of your forehead.

Tightening the Eye Area After activating the RF, gently press the device at the nose's corner. Glide it in circular motions over the cheekbone and around the orbital bone exterior, repeating four times for 15 seconds each. Next, turn off RF and turn on EMS. Apply light pressure to the nose's corner and guide the device over the cheekbone, circling the orbital bone exterior. Repeat this four times for 15 seconds each. *Then repeat this routine on the opposite side of the face.

Switch to EMS and lightly press the device between the nose and mouth's corner. Glide the device under the cheekbone, moving upward to the hairline, repeating this four times for 15 seconds each. *Then repeat this routine on the opposite side of the face.

Firming & Toning the Mouth It is important to apply a thin layer of FAQ™ P1 Manuka Honey Primer to the bottom half of the face, including around the mouth, chin, cheek, and along the jawline. After that, turn on EMS and start gliding the device along the jawline from the chin, stopping at the jawbone corner while repeating three times for 10 seconds each. Secondly, press the device between the nose and mouth while gliding under and around the cheekbone and upwards toward the hairline, repeating this two times for 15 seconds each. Then, switch to RF. Glide the device between the nose and mouth in tight circular motions under and around the cheekbone, and move upward toward the hairline while repeating two times for 15 seconds each. *Then repeat this routine on the opposite side of the face. Lastly, finish it by gently pulling your lips in and gliding the device over and under the lips with T-Sonic™ and red LED only, and repeat two times for 15 seconds on each side as well.

Repeat this six times, each for 10 seconds. Now, switch to EMS; while pressing the device under the chin, glide it under the jawline, stopping at the jawbone's corner. Repeat this movement six times, each for 10 seconds as well. *Then repeat this routine on the opposite side of the face.

Tightening & Toning the Neck Activate RF and lightly press the device at the neck's base. While gliding in tight circles toward the outside, repeat this four times for 10 seconds each. Then, move up to the top of the neck. Once you're done, switch to EMS and press at the same side's neck base while gliding up to the jawline, repeating six times for 10 seconds. Finish this treatment with a glide from under the chin to the jawbone corner. *Then repeat this routine on the opposite side of the neck. Note that when you first receive your device, it will be set in 'Basic' mode, offering lower intensity levels. To access higher clinical-level intensities, complete the professional training available through the app. Always ensure not to use the device on the thyroid area and the orbital bone.

FOREO’s High Standards Club Sale

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2025

Feb 21st - Mar 9th

Sometimes, we get stuck in a rut, doing our thing (and everybody else's). When we’re finally done for the day and a little bit of me time rolls around, we skimp out on self-care and settle with anything slightly better than the pedal to the metal.

This International Women’s Day, FOREO’s High Standards Club reminds women all over the world to stop cutting corners on themselves and ask for more out of life, love, career, and skincare. Please - in the name of all that is good, wholesome, peaceful, healthy, and beautiful - forget the grind culture. Things that get ground up are not whole, as they have been crushed. Work hard and rest when you need to. Be kind to yourself and others, set boundaries for those who are not kind back, and aim for balance rather than impossible balancing acts. High self-care standards don’t mean you’re rude or a spoiled, extra little princess who wants something for nothing. It means you know the value of your work, money, time, and mental health.

From February 21st till March 9th, The High Standards Club offers the MYSAHIGH30 code to get an extra 30% off the already discounted FOREO & FAQ portfolio of timeless devices and clean skincare. Visit foreo.com, enjoy living in your skin, go get what you want, and don't settle for less.
