Possible Side Effects
Improper use of the system could result in side eects. Although these eects are rare and expected
to be transient, any adverse reaction should be immediately reported to the physician. Side eects
may include any of those conditions listed below. Side eects may appear either at the time of
treatment or after.
The side eects may include:
Discomfort or signicant pain post-treatment.
Excessive skin redness (erythema) and/or swelling (edema).
Damage to natural skin texture (crust, blister, burn).
Change of pigmentation (hyper- and hypo-pigmentation).
Scarring.
Treatment of male patients in hair-bearing areas may result in some damage to the follicles and
subsequent loss of hair. Avoid the beard area and other hair- growing zones if the patient does not
wish to experience hair growth reduction.
Pre-treatment
Complete or update the patient's medical and physical history.
Exclude from treatment patients presenting any contraindications for treatment.
Determine why the patient is seeking treatment and what the expectations are.
Inform the patient about the treatment protocol, typical treatment results and possible
adverse eects and discomfort.
Instruct the patient about safety aspects he/she should observe.
Advise the patient to avoid skin irritation or intentional skin tanning. Sun-screen is advisable
when outdoors during daylight hours.
The patient should discontinue any irritant topical agents for 2-3 days prior to treatment.
The patient should arrive for treatment with clean skin. There should be no lotion, make-
up, perfume, powder or bath/shower oil present on the skin in the area to be treated.
