BOLD SETTINGS ARE DISPLAY SCREEN DEFAULT PARAMETERS FOR:
Vbeam Perfecta, Platinum, Aesthetica
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING DCD CRYOGEN SPRAY:
SELECT MEDIUM (30/20) DEFAULT SETTING
ADJUST BASED UPON EPIDERMAL RESPONSE AND PATIENT COMFORT
Note: The use of epidermal cooling is strongly recommended. Cooling reduces the rise in temperature in the epidermis,
allows for higher tolerated fluences, and provides partial anesthesia.
Do NOT Spray Cryogen into the eyes or into an open wound.
The DCD spray should be sufficient to cover the treatment area and provide epidermal cooling in opposition to the heat
generated from the laser. It is important to maintain both skin protection and patient comfort.
Begin with suggested guidelines and increase or decrease settings based on the skin reaction and the patient’s
tolerance.
Darker skin types do not tolerate excessive amounts of DCD spray. Use caution when increasing DCD spray time on
darker skin types. Pre and post cooling with a cold compress may be beneficial.
When using the V Beam laser with multiple pulses, the user should monitor the distance gauge condition and wipe the
distance gauge as required. After approximately 30 pulses, check the condition of the distance gauge for hair, cryogen
buildup, etc. and wipe if necessary before continuing treatment.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN DCD CRYOGEN SPRAY IS OMITTED:
If the Dynamic Cooling Device Option is not utilized
and cooling is desired
, another method of cooling (air cooling or
contact cooling, etc.) should be utilized.
Several applications including non-facial warts and benign epidermal pigmented lesions are treated
without
DCD
cryogen spray. Application of a cool compress following the treatment may enhance patient comfort post treatment.
