Note

 

The images in the figures are for illustration purposes only. 

 
 

The applicator is applied to the treatment area so that all four edges of the 
aperture make a seal with the skin. This allows the vacuum to be effective and 
ensures that the RF electrodes are fully coupled to the skin. Failure to achieve full 
contact between the RF electrodes and skin, or failure to achieve proper vacuum 
will result in disabled IR and RF energies, indicated by an 

RF out of range

 

message on the system’s control panel and applicator screen.
