Information
Any combination of treatment parameters should be according to skin
response and patient tolerance.
Always start with low settings and observe the skin's reaction and patient
comfort before increasing the RF energy.
Air condition directed at the patient treated area may reduce the skin surface
temperature in 1-2oC, and cut-off temperature should be reduced
accordingly.
Divide facial and neck treatment area to zones as shown in figure below. Other
variations are possible. For smaller neck areas, 2 zones are sufficient.
Figure -1: Recommended Forma Facial and Neck Treatment Zones
Treat body areas by zones with size of about 2 hand palms (~12x12cm), such as
half of abdominal area, flank, outer thigh, inner thigh, buttocks. When treating
smaller zones as upper arm, reduce energy setting to avoid patient
discomfort.
Apply 2-4mm ultrasound gel (not oil) to the treated zone and to adjacent zone
that can serve as a warm gel reservoir for replenishing gel in the treatment
zone with minimal delay.
Prior to using water-based gel, ensure that the container of ultrasound gel
has not passed the expiration date.
Assume full contact of Handpiece with the skin with a slight pressure.
Use your free hand to flatten and stretch treatment area if needed for
complete contact and smooth movement.
Press the Footswitch and initiate the RF energy.
Move the Handpiece in circular movements or back and forth with gentle
pressure over the full treated zone to reach uniform skin heating. Movement
