▪ Establish and confirm treatment parameters: if the desired end-point of
erythema and edema – in a tip-shaped pattern – has not been achieved within
10-15 minutes, increase the RF energy. If the response is excessive, decrease the
parameters.
▪ Low energy levels of 10-25 may be tolerated after topical anesthesia application.
Energy levels of 25-40 may require nerve block or tumescent and high energy
levels of 40-62 may call for tumescent or IV sedation.
