These mainly concern the storage of the device and electrodes, including the cables, since electrostimulation automatically controls the circuit parameters ensuring the safety of the treatment.<br \/><br \/>In fact, to optimize the effectiveness of the therapy, it is important to check before each application that the electrodes are always in good condition.<br \/>How can you tell? By the adhesive capacity of the pre-gelled part of the electrode that is put on the skin. To optimize pulse transmission, as well as to preserve the electrodes, it is advisable to cleanse the skin before starting the session. <br \/><br \/>One final caution: check that the program you choose is tailored to the body district on which you are using it, so you can be sure that the electrical parameters are the optimal ones to meet your
