SpaTouch Elite User Manual
New Handpiece Retest –
Each time an old Handpiece is replaced
with a new one, the testing procedure for all existing clients should be
repeated for the first 500 pulses.
Excessive Energy Level –
Stop treatment if overall redness of the
treated area is observed. Full redness of the area may indicate use of
an excessive energy level. It is recommended to treat with caution,
especially during the initial treatments.
Post Treatment –
Mild redness and regional pain may be noticed in
the treatment area and can last from a few hours up to a few days.
Most clients will feel some discomfort for up to an hour or two after
treatment. A post treatment preparation (e.g., Biafine or Aloe) can be
used to help soothe the area but should not be used on skin with open
wounds. Cold packs alternately applied for 10-15 minutes on the
affected area are another post treatment option. If blistering or burns
occur, apply first aid for burns and direct your client to seek medical
consultation and treatment if necessary.
If skin crusting occurs, do not continue treatment until the crusting has
resolved and completely healed.
Sun Exposure –
The client should be advised to avoid sun exposure
and/or artificial tanning devices for a minimum of 21 days before and
after treatment. If hypo or hyper pigmentation occurs, the client should
continue to be diligent about sun or light exposure until it resolves.
Pigmentary changes generally resolve within a few months and may
be treated with daily application of sunscreen and bleaching creams.
Early Termination:
Hair Removal treatment results should be
evaluated after 4-7 treatments, depending on the case. If you do not
observe at least 30% reduction of hair after 4-5 treatments, you and
your client should consider the possibility of early termination.
Vellus Facial Hair:
Do not attempt to remove vellus facial hair as
induced hair growth may result.
