Can the Oleg Lohnes Revitaler® be used in days of menstruation?
Yes, the Oleg Lohnes Revitaler® has been proved most useful when suffering from menstrual discomfort (see table under Special Uses).

Can I use the Oleg Lohnes Revitaler® during fasting?
Using the Revitaler® during days of fasting is not recommended.

No, not as a rule unless massage is mentioned as a contraindication (see also “Contraindications”).
It is recommended to do so in cases of serious health problems. You can otherwise judge by your own feelings and compile your own programme for use. Please take care in each case that the minimum time of use is l5 minutes per exercise or body zone.
How does the Oleg Lohnes Revitaler® differ from other massage appliances?

Time of use: 20 min. per body zone.

Can the plastic material, of which the Oleg Lohnes Revitaler® is made, cause allergies in sensitive people?
No, because the material used is guaranteed free of allergens and corresponds to the European Consumer Protection Requirements.
What does it mean when you sometimes get swollen hands and feet after using the Revitaler®?
It can mean that there is too little liquid in the human organism. Therefore please take care not to use the Oleg Lohnes Revitaler® on an empty stomach and to drink a glass of water before and after treatment.
