6.7 Treatment Recommendations
1. Apply the necessary means of anesthesia. If topical, make sure that it is
cleaned off the treatment area before treatment and the surface is dried with
alcohol 70%.
2. Connect Handpiece to the System.
3. Follow Device Start-Up Procedure from System Operation section.
4. Set treatment parameters.
5. Always start with a low energy level, test patient comfort and observe the
tissue's response before increasing the energy.
6. On sensitive, thin skin/tissue apply lower parameters with more passes, rather
than higher parameters in one pass. It is also applicable to new users for any
area.
7. Reduce ~20% energy when working on thin skin/tissue. Further ~20%
reduction on thin skin over bone.
8. Apply the Handpiece perpendicular to the treated area, with complete contact
and firm pressure. To improve coupling between the treatment area and the
tip stretch very soft tissue or pinch on bony areas.
9. Move Handpiece to the adjacent area with 30-50% overlap and activate RF
again.
10. Occasionally, additional 1-2 passes may be applied to reinforce results on the
full area or on selected spots. Gaps may be treated after the full area is done.
11. The endpoints are minimal to substantial erythema and edema often
accompanied by tingling heat sensation. Minor pin-point bleeding can be
observed.
6.8 Treatment Schedule
The number of treatment sessions depends on the individual patient and treatment
aggressiveness and may vary from 1-5 sessions. Treatments are typically repeated
every 3-6 weeks.
It is recommended to schedule follow-up session 2-3 days after the treatment to
ensure safe healing process.
