D.7 Pre-Treatment Information
General
During the first visit the physician (or an authorized staff member) should:
• Perform a thorough patient medical history, including previous treatment modalities, and examine the
dermatology condition for suitability of treatment with the system.
• Determine why the patient is seeking treatment and understand his/her expectations.
• Discuss the treatment regimen with the patient.
Counseling
During the first visit, the physician (or an authorized member of the staff) should inform the patient of the
following:
• Assess Condition and the desired treatment areas.
• Explain that acceptable results may require more than one treatment.
• Treatment may be associated with some discomfort.
• Transient erythema/edema may appear immediately following treatment
Photography
It is recommended to document “before and after” photographs of the treatment area which provide objective
evidence.
Photographs should be taken before treatment and at one-month follow-up visit.
Standardized conditions (similar camera speed, flash and focal distance) should be used to photograph all patients.
This consistency enables an objective comparison of photos.
Treatment Regimen
• The recommended number of treatments is 2-3
• Treatment intervals should be between 3-4 weeks, treatment should be done only on healed skin only.
D.8 Treatment
Focus & Focus IN Tips:
The treatment technique involves complete contact of the Focus & Focus IN tips to the surface of the skin. This
technique can include stacked passes, where the tip is positioned on the treatment area (skin) without moving it
and applying repeated pulses. It is strongly advised to use a smoke evacuator and a mask during the procedure.
Glide Tip:
The treatment technique involves the attachment of the Roller tip to the surface of the skin and keeping it in
motion over the treatment area. This technique can include single or multiple passes. It is strongly advised to use
a smoke evacuator and a mask during the procedure.
