can be increased during the program, in order to increase the effects, or else diminished in
case of skin overheating or pain.
Initial intensity
Modulation
The power of emission must be
set by the user and will change
depending
on
the
kind
of
application (see following table).
The power of emission may be modified: increasing by a
few tenths (+ 0,1) to increase the effects of the therapy;
diminishing the value in case of overheating of the
treated area. (*)
Should the power of emission which has been set, or its adjustment, lead to excessive heating
or pain in the area being treated, you must immediately reduce the intensity of stimulation or else
turn the application off.
This table shows the intensities suggested for the most common applications:
Application
Suggested intensity
Ossification lag, articular stiffness, myalgia, epicondylitis,
periarthritis
0.5 – 1 W/cm²
Bruises, tenosinovitis, bursitis
1 – 1.5 W/cm²
Arthritis - arthrosis, callus, lumbago, pangs, tenovaginitis
1.5 – 2 W/cm²
Bone atrophy, osteitis – periostitis, sprains
2 – 2.5 W/cm²

– Positio n to be kept during t he sessions
During the therapy programs, the ideal position is a relaxed one, with the body either
supine or prone, depending on the area of application. This position must be kept
throughout the duration of the session, in order to facilitate the effects produced by the
vibrations, especially the flow of blood increased due to vascular expansion, as a
consequence of the heating induced in the affected area.

Ultrasounds can also be used on the surface or below the skin to heal and treat certain
pathologies of the skin and the derma. Also, steady application of such treatments can
help local thinning and lead to a regression of cellulitis tissue.
5.2.1
– Preset a esthetic prog ra ms
BIOSONYC has
preset aesthetic programs
, i.e. programs with all the parameters
memorized and ready for use. The various available programs are subdivided according to
the kind of treatment to be performed:
1.
Cellulitis
: programs which deliver high frequency ultrasounds to treat cellulitis in
the area where it tends to collect most (thighs, glutei, hips, abdomen…).
2.
Lymphatic draining
: preset programs for warming and stimulation of the
circulation in areas with marked water retention and swelling.
3.
Local thinning
: specific programs to reduce fat accumulation in men (or in women
without cellulitis) due to a sedentary lifestyle or to disorderly diets.
4.
Skin pathologies
: programs to be applied to the skin in order to cure various surface
pathologies.
