Endpoints (When to Stop Treating an Area)
●
Use the radiant thermometer to measure the temperature on the skin surface,
skin temperature should be 43-45°C.
●
If the patient feels an intolerable heat sensation before reaching 43-45°C, try
to re-apply some VelaSpray Ease lotion, if patient still cannot tolerate the
heat, lower the RF and continue treatment. If the patient tolerates this well,
complete the indicated pulses and phases.
●
Mild erythema is normal.
●
Heat should be persistent.
Warning
In the event of excessive heat sensation or any side effects (i.e. burn),
stop treatment and apply cooling.
Caution
Release the trigger or footswitch before you lift the applicator from the
skin.
Note
●
Compliance with the treatment protocol is essential to achieving the
desired results.
●
Always maintain complete contact between the applicator chamber
and the skin.
●
For small zones such as the navel area, treat twice, but with less
stacks until the endpoint is reached, and ensure a 5-minute interval
between treatments.
●
When reinforcing results, treat the small area (such as localized fat
deposits) only once.
●
After treatment, the treated area may show temporary signs of
erythema and slight edema.
●
A Bad Coupling message on the control panel indicates
inadequate coupling, which results in RF being disabled.
●
VelaShape III treatment performed 3–5 weeks post-lipolysis can
enhance smooth recovery from the lipolysis treatment.
