5. Always start with a low settings level to check patient tolerance to the
treatment parameters, test and then gradually increase energy fluence to
reach the results without compromising safety.
6. Apply hand piece to the treated area ensuring a full contact with slight
pressure (less pressure over superficial blood capillaries) and press trigger
button to deliver light pulse.
7. Perform a test spot in the area to be treated in a non-conspicuous site and
wait a few minutes to check the response. Wait a longer time on darker skin.
8. In a single mode (AutoRepeat Off), move Handpiece by stamping to adjacent
area without overlap and apply next pulse to cover all treatment area.
9. In a continuous mode, coordinate handpiece movement with the repetition
rate. Move handpiece to adjacent area only after the energy is delivered and
machine has indicated that the pulse is completed.
10. After the first pass if end-points are not obvious, perform another pass, after
10-15 minutes, longer for darker skin type IV, or when general erythema
subsides, preferably in a different light guide direction.
11. End-points are:
– Greying and/or darkening of pigments.
– Darkening of blood vessels.
– Erythema and/or edema around lesions.
– Tighter skin-look.
Lumecca is a very powerful applicator. Take care with the treatment
parameters!
