6.7 Treatment Recommendations
The treatment recommendations for the EvolveX System with the
Transform Applicator in RF mode are as follows:
1. Ensure that skin is clean and dry.
2. Follow Device Start-Up from Section 5.1.
3. Set treatment parameters.
4. Start at the lower value and increase gradually, according to patient
and skin tolerance. Patients who can tolerate higher values, may
reach the cut-off temperature faster.
Reduce the RF power/EMS intensity with any discomfort or
excessive skin response!
If not relieved, stop the treatment!
5. Any combination of treatment parameters should be according to
skin response and patient tolerance. Combination of high RF power
with short treatment time or vice versa may suit some patients
better.
6. Usually, treatment parameters are higher for thicker skin with a lot of
fat, like abdomen and are lower for thin sensitive skin like arm, but
response is individual.
7. Arms skin, on top of being thinner and more sensitive is also a small
area and therefore treatment should not exceed 20min. Always start
with low settings and observe the skin's reaction and patient comfort
before increasing the energy. However, high cut-off temperature is
essential for treatment efficacy, and has to be increased gradually for
better tolerance.
8. Apply water-based ultrasound gel to the skin below each of the
Applicator units or directly to the Applicator electrodes.
9. Prior to using the ultrasound gel, ensure that the gel container has
not passed the expiration date.
10. Up to 6 Applicator units can be applied to the treatment area. A
conductive gel is applied to attach the units to the treatment area.
Tight Applicator units to the body using the belt tightening
mechanism to achieve good coupling between electrodes and the
patient’s body.
11. Activate the treatment by pressing the "On" icon.
Slight erythema and edema are a typical immediate response.
However, when there is an excessive skin response (erythema and
edema) or strong discomfort level, stop the treatment.
