12. Treat dark skin (V-VI) with the 24 coated pin tip, restrict energy, starting at
energy level 15 or lower, adding 5 levels each visit (every 3-4 weeks) to a
maximum of energy level 40 on soft tissue, and energy level 25 over bone,
preferably following bleaching regimen.
13. Apply the Fractora Handpiece to the treated area ensuring a contact with
pressure to minimize discomfort, and press the Footswitch to deliver RF energy
14. Move Handpiece to the adjacent area and press Footswitch again in the
SINGLE mode or adjust the repetition rate to the speed you move the tip to
adjacent site.
15. Move to adjacent areas with no overlapping of side-electrodes (30-50%
overlap).
16. 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.
17. The endpoint is substantial erythema and edema, visible ablative craters, and
burnt tissue smell often accompanied by tingling heat sensation.
9.9 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.
Treatment should be concluded when the results are satisfactory to the patient or
according to the physician's discretion. Generally, 3-5 sessions are needed for mild to
moderate depth settings. It is not typical to perform more than five consecutive
sessions however more sessions can be performed as per physician discretion. In
some instances, 1-2 sessions may be sufficient.
9.10 Post-treatment Recommendations
After each treatment session, the physician should advise the patient on proper care.
▪ Cool the skin for 10-20 min.
▪ Emollient cream or occlusive dressing could be applied to the treatment area.
▪ Alternatively, prophylactic antibiotic treatment may be prescribed for 1-3 days
post treatment. Patient is to contact the physician if there is any indication of
infection, excessive swelling, redness, undue pain, or any other unusual or
untoward symptom.
