Low program and to increase gradually after inspecting the skin response to the treatment. Using high
settings increases the treatment impact on both the epidermis and dermis
When treating skin types IV -VI or Asian skin, use Low parameter settings
Prepare the treatment area:
Clean the treatment area with soap and water and dry the skin completely after cleaning
Wait until the skin is completely dry before continuing
Apply the EMLA topical anesthetic on the treatment area, allow recommended exposure time of skin to
the topical anesthetic according to the manufacturer guidelines. Remove it as indicated in the
manufacturer guidelines and make sure the skin is clean and dry
Turn the system on and set the appropriate treatment parameters as described. Always use Low setting
on a new patient treatment
Ensure that the tip is sealed within the blister and is intact. Open the sealed pack of the appropriate tip
and connect the new and sterile tip to the Applicator (see instructions in section 7.3.5 of this UM).
Ensure that the tip is secured in place
Remove tip cap before use
Check the integrity of the tips and pins. In case of any missing/loss parts, do not use the tip.
When choosing the appropriate tip and treatment parameters, always consider the skin type and
thickness, severity of treated condition, treatment area, bone proximity, etc.
Provide the patient with the ‘Patient controlled manual switch’ with the push button in range of their
thumb for easy access. Then explain that they can stop the treatment at any time by pressing the button
in case of excessive discomfort
Position the patient is a comfortable position according to the treatment type and location
Decide on the treatment path and placement pattern of the tip to ensure optimal skin coverage of the
treatment area. When working on large areas, it is recommended to work in a systematic sectional
manner according to planned sections to enable an organized coverage
It is recommended to start the first treatment of a patient with a patch test using Low setting. Inspect
the treated test area immediately after a few pulses to assess the skin reaction. If the area does not
demonstrate an abnormal reaction and if patient’s tolerance allows, you can continue to other areas of
treatment while gradually changing to higher setting parameters if desired. Always adjust the
parameters (increase or decrease) according to the skin’s reaction
Place the Applicator perpendicular to the skin surface while applying mild pressure to ensure full
contact. Low pressure is required especially over bony areas
In areas where skin surface is uneven and there is a chance of partial contact, it is recommended to
stretch the skin between your fingers and then position the tip on the stretched skin surface
Once you have achieved full contact and the tip is positioned correctly, press the foot switch to activate
the Power
A Beep sounds will be heard when the pulse emission is complete, and the indicator light has turned
from red to green
Move the tip to the adjacent spot. Make sure you do not leave an untreated surface between pulses
If you work on a large surface or if the patient perspires during the treatment, it is recommended to dry
the next treatment areas with gauze and wait for complete drying of these areas
When treating large area, after treating half of it, make sure that the untreated half is clean and
completely dry before continuing treatment
Monitor the patient’s sensation verbally and regularly throughout the treatment
Examine the skin during the treatment. Immediate responses of skin erythema (redness) and /or edema
(swelling) usually develop. These signs are indications of the desired effect. The response usually
appears a few minutes after pulsing and reaches its peak within 30 minutes to 1 hour. In darker skin
types, erythema is not easily detected, and edema is more prominent
Treatment consists of a single pass over the treatment area
