• Always observe the epidermis during the treatment, watching for signs of damage (e.g.,
epidermal separation, frosting, or gray coloration).
- If damage is observed, stop the treatment, cool the skin, and evaluate the area for
possible complications and wound care.
• Seborrheic keratoses may only be lightened after treatment and may recur
.
- Use caution and less aggressive settings when treating flatter
seborrheic keratoses.

Selection of protocol is based on operator preference and patient
comfort.
Multiple passes are required.
• Protocol A: 10+ passes; clinical endpoint of mild erythema will develop slowly
.
• Protocol B: 2 to 5 passes; clinical endpoint of mild erythema will develop after several
passes.
• Protocol C: 1 to 3 passes; erythema will develop following the first pass.
Treatment
discomfort will be higher on the second pass, and mild edema will develop. Do not exceed 3
passes.
