Shave and moisturize in the evening after you have taken the Cionic Neural Sleeve off for the day. Shaving can create micro-cuts in the skin that may be irritated by the gel electrode pads and stimulation. Shaving the evening before helps to prevent irritation. Avoid putting anything on the skin prior to use as this can decrease the adhesiveness of the gel electrode pads and negatively impact their longevity.

Before putting on your sleeve, ensure that your skin is clean and free of any open wounds. If you do have open skin on an area where an electrode is placed, you should not use the sleeve until it is healed. If at any time you experience irritation caused by the gel electrode pads and/or stimulation, discontinue use and reach out to us at support@cionic.com.

When removing the sleeve, immediately replace the provided cover back over the gel electrodes. This step will protect the surfaces of the pads from trapping debris and losing their adhesive qualities.

If you are not due for a replacement set and your gel electrode pads are losing their stickiness, put a small drop of water on the surface of the pad that makes contact with your skin and rub it around to gently clean the gel.

Keep a damp (or dry) cloth nearby when removing the sleeve to wipe any gel pad residue off of your skin.
