The settings in the table above have been demonstrated to result in the ideal treatment conditions. Failure
to follow the device settings and treatment times as indicated in the table could result in excessive heating
of the tissue, resulting in tissue damage, or could result in ineffective treatments and minimal results.
ALWAYS keep the handpiece in motion. Never allow the handpiece to sit stationary on the tissue for more
than a second or two. Traverse the treatment area using a circular, figure 8, or methodical back-and-forth
sweeping motion. A good analogy to think of is
mowing a lawn - consistent sweeping patterns that
just barely overlap, slowly working from one side of
the area to the other. Apply slight pressure into the
skin so the handpiece has a sort of kneading effect
on the tissue. Most effective results is achieved
when folds of skin press up in between the nodes
on the handpiece surface. Once the entire area has
been covered, you can go back to the starting point
and begin the pattern over again.
The Ultimate Contour is designed to have the RF
signal travel between two of the three nodes on
the handpiece. The system alternates which two nodes are active, changing the active nodes in a circular
pattern about once per second. Between the two active nodes, the RF energy travels from one node to the
other. The purpose of these rounded nodes is to create a sort of kneading effect when the handpiece is
worked along the tissue. The tissue will momentarily fold up in between the nodes, allowing the RF energy
to more effectively travel through the skin and achieve its effect.
