HOW TO USE TIGHTEN BOOST™

Your At-Home Guide to Firmer, More Lifted-Looking Skin

SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ was created to bring Skin Design London’s clinic-led approach to advanced facial technology into the home.

Rather than relying on a single technology, SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ combines 4 MHz Radiofrequency, EMS, Microcurrent, Electroporation, MESO technology and targeted LED wavelengths within one device.

Just as we personalise technology in the Skin Design London clinic, SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ allows you to use all of the technologies as part of a complete treatment, or select individual modes according to what your skin needs.

Each technology can also be paired with targeted Skin Design London formulations to intensify your skincare ritual and optimise your results.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Start with thoroughly cleansed skin using FACE BATH.

Remove all makeup, SPF and oil-based skincare before beginning your treatment. Avoid facial oils during treatment as these can interfere with the way the device moves and performs on the skin.

Start at intensity level 1–2 while you become familiar with how each technology feels. You can gradually adjust the intensity according to your comfort level.

Each mode should be used for a maximum of 6 minutes.

SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ automatically switches off once the treatment time is complete. Each mode begins when the device makes contact with the skin and will pause if contact is lost.

MODE 1: PREPARE

MESO + BLUE LED

Best for: Preparing and refreshing the skin.

Use with: Clean, dry skin — no product required.

PREPARE is the ideal first step in your SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ ritual.

The mode combines MESO technology with targeted Blue LED to prepare the skin before progressing to your selected firming, lifting or boosting technologies.

Use directly onto clean, dry skin.

Recommended time: 4–6 minutes.

MODE 2: FIRM

4 MHz RF + EMS + RED LED

Best for: Firmness, facial contours and a more lifted-looking appearance.

Use with: FACETIGHT SERUM + FACETIGHT CREME

FIRM is the key SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ mode when your primary goal is tight, firm and lifted-looking skin.

Radiofrequency delivers controlled thermal energy into the skin. This controlled warmth supports the skin's natural response and collagen-remodelling processes, while EMS works with the facial muscles to support the appearance of tone and definition.

Move the device continuously across the treatment area rather than holding it stationary.

Focus on the:

Jawline · Lower Face · Cheeks · Facial Contours

Use slow, controlled movements, working upwards and outwards across the face.

The skin should feel comfortably warm during RF treatment.

SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ incorporates NTC temperature control to help regulate temperature during use.

Recommended time: 4–6 minutes.

MODE 3: BOOSTER

ELECTROPORATION + AMBER LED

Best for: Enhancing your skincare ritual.

Use with: FACETIGHT SERUM + FACETIGHT CREME

BOOSTER combines Electroporation with targeted Amber LED.

Electroporation uses controlled electrical pulses to temporarily increase the permeability of the skin's outer barrier, helping to optimise the application of compatible skincare.

This makes BOOSTER an ideal technology to incorporate into your FACETIGHT PRESCRIPTION™ ritual when you want to maximise your skincare routine.

Move slowly across the face, concentrating on the areas where you want to target your formulations.

Recommended time: 6 minutes.

MODE 4: ELASTICITY

MICROCURRENT + GREEN LED

Best for: Facial definition, elasticity and a more sculpted-looking appearance.

Use with: C GLOW + FACETIGHT SERUM + FACETIGHT CREME

ELASTICITY combines Microcurrent with targeted Green LED.

Microcurrent delivers very low-level electrical currents and is used within facial treatments to support the appearance of facial tone and definition.

Use slow, controlled upward and outward movements, concentrating on the contours of the face.

This mode can also be incorporated into your eye-area ritual using a low intensity and following the specific eye-area guidance in your Instructions for Use.

Recommended time: 3–5 minutes.

MODE 5: LIFT

3D EMS ROLLERS

Best for: Targeted facial sculpting and definition.

Use with: FACETIGHT SERUM + FACETIGHT CREME

LIFT uses the targeted 3D EMS Rollers to work more precisely across areas such as the jawline, lower face, cheeks and facial contours.

Use controlled upward and outward lifting movements, rather than repeatedly moving backwards and forwards across the same area.

Pay particular attention to areas where you want the appearance of greater definition, including the jawline and lower face.

Recommended time: 6 minutes.

DO I NEED TO USE ALL FIVE MODES?

One of the benefits of SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ is the ability to personalise your treatment according to your skin goals and the time you have available.

You can complete a full SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ treatment, or choose one or two targeted technologies.

FOR FIRMNESS + LIFT

FIRM — RF + EMS + Red LED
followed by
LIFT — 3D EMS Rollers

FOR SKINCARE + DEFINITION

BOOSTER — Electroporation + Amber LED
followed by
ELASTICITY — Microcurrent + Green LED

Think of SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ as your personal facial technology wardrobe: choose the technologies according to what your skin needs that day.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™?

For a complete ritual, perform one full SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ treatment 1–2 times per week.

In between full treatments, SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ can be used on alternate days, selecting one or two modes according to your individual skin goals.

For example, you may want a quick FIRM + LIFT session before an event, while on another day you may choose BOOSTER + ELASTICITY as part of your skincare routine.

Consistency is key.

Always follow the recommended treatment times and never exceed 6 minutes per mode.

WHAT SKINCARE SHOULD I USE WITH SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™?

SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ was specifically designed to work as part of the FACETIGHT PRESCRIPTION™ ritual.

Choose your formulations according to the technology you are using:

PREPARE
Clean, dry skin

FIRM
FACETIGHT SERUM + FACETIGHT CREME

BOOSTER
FACETIGHT SERUM + FACETIGHT CREME

ELASTICITY
C GLOW + FACETIGHT SERUM + FACETIGHT CREME

LIFT
FACETIGHT SERUM + FACETIGHT CREME

For the complete Skin Design London ritual, finish with the FACETIGHT HYDROGEL MASK for 15–30 minutes.

Avoid facial oils during device treatment.

CAN I USE SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ UNDER THE EYES?

Yes, SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ can be incorporated into your eye-area routine where permitted by the device instructions.

The eye area should always be treated gently.

ELASTICITY — Microcurrent + Green LED is our preferred mode for the under-eye area, helping to support a brighter, more refreshed-looking eye area and the appearance of uneven tone.

Always use a low intensity around the eye area and never use the device directly over the eyelids or eye itself.

Follow the specific eye-area guidance provided in your SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ Instructions for Use.

THE SKIN DESIGN LONDON APPROACH

SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ isn't about doing more to your skin.

It's about using the right technology, in the right area, for the right amount of time.

Developed from our clinical approach to skin, SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ brings multiple professional-inspired technologies together in one targeted at-home ritual, allowing you to personalise your treatment according to what your skin needs.

Use the complete ritual when you have time. Target individual technologies when you don't.

The goal is always the same:

TIGHT. FIRM. LIFTED. GLOWING.

While still looking entirely like you.

Individual results may vary. Always read and follow the SDL TIGHTEN BOOST™ Instructions for Use, including contraindications and safety guidance, before treatment.
