Dr. Arrivo Zeus IV — the flagship Japanese device from Artistic & Co. for skin lifting, facial contour care, maintaining muscle tone and comprehensive at-home anti-age care. It combines electrical stimulation, thermal effects, pulse technologies, work with cosmetic products and LED therapy in one device.
This device is designed for those who want to work with age-related changes comprehensively: support facial contour definition, muscle tone, skin density and firmness, reduce puffiness and help the face maintain a lifted, fresh appearance for longer.
Exclusive Cosmetic is an official partner of Artistic & Co. in Europe and works with original devices received through the official supply channel.
What exactly does Zeus IV do
Zeus IV does not have one single “main” function. Its strength lies in combining different types of effects, each of which solves its own task.
EMS: working with muscles and facial contours
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation — electrical muscle stimulation) creates impulses that cause facial muscles to contract. This is why characteristic rhythmic contractions can be felt during the procedure.
This mode is used to maintain muscle tone, work with facial contours, prevent age-related loss of contour definition and support the lifting effect.
How Japanese EMS differs from simpler electrical stimulation
In many basic devices, electrical stimulation works on a cyclic principle: the same impulse pattern is repeated again and again. With prolonged use, muscles can gradually adapt to the same type of stimulus, and the noticeable effect of such stimulation may become less pronounced.
The Japanese approach of Artistic & Co. works differently. The device uses complex patterns and alternating impulses, constantly changing the nature of the stimulation. The muscle does not receive the same signal during every procedure but is stimulated in different ways.
That is why the focus is not on the strongest possible single contraction, but on regular support of muscle tone, contour definition and a long-lasting lifting effect.
We explain more about the working principles of Japanese beauty device technologies in the article “Why Japanese beauty gadgets are changing the game”.
MFIP and Ultra Pulse: key Zeus technologies
MFIP (Mid Frequency Interval Pulse — medium-frequency interval pulses) — a patented technology by Artistic & Co., which delivers impulses not monotonously but intermittently, creating a distinctive rhythmic effect.
MFIP works with deeper structures, including the level of SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, which is involved in forming and maintaining facial contours.
Another type of effect is Ultra Pulse (a combination of pulse technologies for working with the skin, muscles and enhancing the penetration of cosmetic products). In M/U mode, the device alternates different types of impulses, providing a comprehensive effect during one procedure.
Electroporation: when serum becomes part of the procedure
Electroporation is a method in which short electrical impulses temporarily increase the skin’s permeability for active ingredients of a cosmetic product.
That is why Zeus IV is not used on dry skin, but together with suitable serums or conductive gels. This way, the cosmetic product becomes a full part of the device-based skincare procedure.
HEAT: gentle thermal effect
HEAT (thermal mode) provides controlled warming of tissues. It helps support microcirculation, prepares the skin for the next stages of the procedure and makes the care process more comfortable.
LED: light-based care
LED therapy (exposure to light of a specific wavelength) in Zeus IV is used together with the main device modes and complements comprehensive skincare.
What results can be expected from Zeus IV
With regular use, Zeus IV works in several directions at once: it supports muscle tone and contour definition, provides facial skin lifting, helps work with puffiness, and improves skin texture, density and firmness.
The thermal and pulse effects also stimulate the processes of synthesis of collagen and elastin — structural proteins that largely determine skin density and firmness.
It is important to understand: Zeus IV does not replace plastic surgery or injectable methods. It is a systematic at-home skincare treatment, the results of which largely depend on regular use and the correct application technique.
RESULTS AFTER JUST ONE USE
The result depends on the initial condition of the skin, age, frequency of procedures, selected mode and individual characteristics.
How to use Zeus IV correctly at home
With Zeus IV, not only the power of the device is important, but also the correct sequence of modes, the conductive product and the direction of movements.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to cleanse the skin and apply a suitable product. During the first use, it is better to start with a lower intensity level and gradually choose a comfortable one.
Basically, a comprehensive procedure looks like this:
- Apply the conductive gel and start with the HEAT mode.
- After warming up, apply a suitable serum and switch to M/U.
- Work slowly, without keeping the head in one spot for too long.
- Move symmetrically: from the chin to the cheekbones, from the central part of the face to the temples, from the centre of the forehead to the hairline.
- Do not ignore the neck — it is an important part of comprehensive facial contour work.
A comprehensive procedure may consist of approximately 10 minutes of HEAT and 10 minutes of M/U. EMS can be used separately for regular support of muscle tone.
The movement technique is very important: the electrode should not work randomly across the skin surface, but according to anatomy and the directions of muscle work. We explained this in more detail in the material “Massage lines for device-based skincare: instructions for an ideal result”.
Can Zeus IV be used around the eyes
Yes, but this area requires special care. The device is not used directly on the eyeball or upper eyelid.
The specifics of working with this delicate area are discussed in more detail in the article “Preorbital area: why Japanese gadgets really work”.
If your main goal is to regularly work specifically with the eye area, we recommend paying attention to Miss Arrivo The Vegas II Alpha. It is a more compact Artistic & Co. device with a design that is more convenient for targeted work around the outer corners of the eyes, under the eyes and on smaller areas.
Zeus IV is a more logical choice when you need comprehensive anti-age care and lifting of the entire face, work with facial contours, muscles and skin quality.
Zeus IV after Botox and fillers
The presence of botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid fillers does not by itself mean that home device-based skincare should be completely avoided.
Zeus IV does not destroy hyaluronic acid fillers and does not neutralise the effect of botulinum toxin. However, after injectable procedures, it is necessary to wait until the initial recovery period is complete and begin device-based care within the timeframe agreed with the doctor who performed the procedure.
The important point here is not avoiding device-based care, but ensuring the correct sequence of procedures.
Zeus IV app: is it necessary to use it
No. Zeus IV can be used without a smartphone — the main modes are available without the app.
At the same time, the device supports Bluetooth and connection to the official ARTISTIC&CO. app for iOS and Android. Through it, additional personalised settings can be used, procedure information can be saved and individual device functions can be controlled.
This is an additional option, not a mandatory condition for using Zeus IV.
Who should not use Zeus IV
Like any device with electrical and thermal effects, Zeus IV has a list of contraindications that must be reviewed before the first procedure.
In particular, the device should not be used with pacemakers and other implanted electronic medical devices, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in cases of acute infectious diseases, malignant tumours, epilepsy, photosensitivity, active inflammatory or damaged skin areas, or immediately after aggressive cosmetic procedures.
If you have chronic diseases, are undergoing treatment or are unsure whether the device can be used in your case, it is better to consult a doctor beforehand.
Comparison with other devices
ZEUS IV should be considered not simply as another multifunctional beauty gadget, but as a device with a clearly structured anti-age system.
Unlike Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro, which focuses on versatility, combining different modes and enhancing the effects of cosmetics, ZEUS IV is designed for systematic work with muscle tone, facial contours and skin density.
