Any combination of treatment parameters should be according to skin response and
patient tolerance.
5. Always start with low settings and observe the skin's reaction and patient comfort
before increasing the RF power, the temperature or pulse width.
6. Reduce RF Power on thin fat areas and on small areas. When using MiniFX restrict
RF Power to 10-20W, occasionally to 25W.
7. Reduce Pulse Width if bruises appear and with MiniFX restrict Pulse Width to
1-3sec.
8. Divide treatment area to zones of about the size of a large hand palm, 4-8 foot-prints
of the vacuum chamber (full abdomen = 4 treatment zones), and about half for
MiniFX. Mark the treatment area and zones. The smaller the zone and the thinner the
fat, the lower the RF Power.
