Any combination of treatment parameters should be according to skin response and
patient tolerance.
5. Always start with low settings and observe the skin's reaction and patient comfort
before increasing the RF power, the temperature or pulse width.
6. Divide treatment area to zones of about the size of 4-8 finger prints of the vacuum
chamber (large hand palm) and mark them.
7. Assume full contact of Handpiece with skin with a slight pressure to enable vacuum.
8. Use your free hand to flatten and stretch treatment area.
9. Press the foot switch and initiate the RF energy and suction, and massage the skin for
preset pulse duration.
10. Move to adjacent site with no overlap from previous site and apply another pulse.
11. Apply multiple passes to the treated zone during ~5min. When skin temperature is
41oC, compensate with 1-2 more minutes of treatment.
12. Excessive heat sensation after a few passes may call for a faster movement, reduced
pulse width, reduced RF power level, and last, reduced cut-off temperature, in this
sequence.
13. After 5min move to the next zone, usually left or right side, and perform the same
steps.
14. After treating the second zone for 5min return to the first zone and complete
additional 5min. Repeat treatment of the second zone. Each zone is treated for a total
time of 10min. In odd areas like navel area, pause for 5min between repeated
treatments.
15. After treating the zone, move to the next area.

Treatment Schedule
The number of treatment sessions depends on the individual patient and typically varies
between 6-8 sessions, once a week.
Treatment should be concluded when the results are satisfactory to the patient or
according to the physician's discretion.

Post-Treatment Recommendations
