Information
should be constant and its amplitude should be at least double of Handpiece
spot size to avoid hot spots.
Continue to treat the area in this fashion. Always start with a low setting level
to check the patient’s tolerance to the treatment parameters and increase the
settings gradually.
Apply multiple passes to maintain the desired temperature during ~15-30min
on face, neck or on the body (less for smaller zone) . If cut-off temperature is
<41oC, maintain the temperature for additional 1-3min per zone.
After treating the zone, move to the next zone.
For excessive heat sensation, you may increase the movement speed, reduce
the RF power and lastly, reduce the cut-off temperature for patient comfort. If
this does not help, stop the treatment and move to the next zone.
Slight erythema and edema is a typical immediate response. However, when
there is excessive skin response (erythema and edema), stop treatment and
move to the next zone. For excessive heat sensation, you may increase the
movement speed, reduce the RF power and lastly, reduce the cut-off
temperature. If this does not help, move to the next zone.
The skin should be observed for excessive erythema or edema. If observed,
stop the treatment and move to the next treatment zone.
Asian skin is typically thicker and more fibrotic than Caucasian skin, hence
occasionally higher energy, smaller zones, longer treatment and more
sessions (all or part) may be required.
Treatment Schedule
The number of treatment sessions depends on the individual patient and is typically 6
weekly sessions, but can vary according to patient response. Some patients may need
only 6 sessions and some 10.
Longer treatment time on each zone may reduce the number of sessions.
Treatment should be concluded when the results are satisfactory to the patient or
according to the physician's discretion.
One session every 1-3 months, or as needed, may maintain treatment results.
Post-Treatment Recommendations
Skin cooling is NOT recommended.
