If you want visible results with a smarter routine, the Pure Tone Radiance Pod combines seven proven technologies with a dual-action serum strategy. This page is your step-by-step guide, science explainer, and comparison hub — designed to help you get the very best results at home.

Understanding the Science: Energy Skincare & the Dual-Action Approach

Radiance Pod uses gentle forms of energy — RF, EMS, ultrasound, LED, galvanic ion and electroporation — to stimulate skin function while our Radiance Ampoule Anti-Ageing Serum targets fine lines, uneven tone and hydration. Energy readies the skin and improves uptake; the serum provides the actives that do the work. Together, they compound results.

How to Use Pure Tone Radiance Pod (Step by Step)

Start with Clean Skin

Remove makeup, SPF and impurities so energy can work efficiently. For best results, cleanse with the Viveca Ultrasonic Facial Cleansing Brush — ultrasonic + galvanic-ion help lift debris and prime the skin.

Cleanse first to maximise absorption and comfort.

Apply Radiance Ampoule, Then Face-Up Gel in Sections

Smooth a thin, even layer of Radiance Ampoule Anti-Ageing Serum over the entire face and neck to hydrate, brighten and prepare the skin for energy.

Next, apply a small amount of Face-Up Gel only to the area you are about to treat (e.g., right cheek). Work in sections — right cheek → left cheek → jawline → neck — adding more gel as you move. This keeps the gel fresh and conductive so the Radiance Pod glides smoothly and delivers energy effectively.

Serum first for actives; gel section-by-section for optimal glide and conductivity.

Select Your Mode & Intensity

  • Power on: Hold the power button for 2 seconds.
  • Choose a mode: Short-press power to cycle (BT, LT, TT, TC). The LED indicates your selection.
  • Adjust: Set sensitivity and vibration to comfort level before you start.

Treat Using Gentle, Upward Motions

Glide slowly with upward strokes to encourage lifting. Pause briefly on areas that need extra attention (jawline, cheek contour, forehead). Always keep a light, even contact with fresh gel.

Understanding Each Mode

  • Boosting (BT): Helps topical absorption; supports elasticity.
  • Lifting (LT): Aids visible lift and tone.
  • Tightening (TT): Focuses on firmness and fine lines.
  • Total Course (TC): Cycles all modes for a complete session.

Routine & Expected Results

Use daily. Most users notice immediate glow and smoother feel; visible lifting/firming typically builds with consistent use over several weeks. Results vary by skin type and routine consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Radiance Pod after aesthetic treatments?
Once the skin has fully recovered and any practitioner downtime guidance is complete (often ~5–7 days depending on treatment), you can restart gently at the lowest intensity. If unsure, confirm with your practitioner.
How often should I use it?
Daily. Consistency compounds results — pair with Radiance Ampoule and treat section-by-section with fresh Face-Up Gel.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Start on the lowest settings, increase gradually, and always use sufficient gel to minimise friction.
Radiance Pod vs LED masks — what’s the difference?
LED masks provide light-only benefits. Radiance Pod adds EMS, RF, ultrasound, galvanic ion and electroporation for multi-pathway results in a compact handheld.
