Venus VIVA User Manual Effective Date: 28.07.13 P/N: DCVIROW3 Rev.01
Treatment consists of a single pass over the designated area. The applicator
tip should be placed on the skin, a pulse emitted, then lifted and moved to an
adjacent spot of the skin. The emitted pulses should create tip-shaped
patterns, and leaving no untreated gaps between them, while also being
careful not to overlap the affected zones.
The parameters can be modified during subsequent visits, as per the
practitioner's discretion.
During treatment, check that the electrode-pins are free of cellular debris (may
appear as black material). If there is debris, clean the tip before continuing to
treat. Complete cleaning instructions may be found in the Maintenance chapter
of this manual (see page 7-2).
Treatment Protocol
The number of treatment sessions depends on the individual patient and typically varies
between 3-4 sessions, every 4-6 weeks.
One touch-up session may be needed every ~6 months, according to individual
response.
The system must be in Standby mode when cleaning the
tip.
Always check the integrity of the electrode-pins on the tip
–
ensure that no pins are missing. If any pins are missing, do
not use the tip.
During treatment inspect the tip for cleanliness, and if
necessary clean more often than specified on page 7-2
(especially when using high parameters; there may be more
debris buildup).
Always perform a test spot and wait as needed to evaluate
results before treatment and before setting or changing
presets.
Use lower RF energy levels when treating in close proximity
to bone.
Ensure that the skin is completely dry during treatment.
Ensure clean tips; accumulated debris or non-dry skin may
lead to pain!
