a questionnaire to ensure that the patient does not fall under any

of the exclusion criteria.

• Review the informed consent form with the patient to ensure

that the patient is well informed of the treatment protocol and

possible side-effects.

• Determine why the patient is seeking this treatment, in order to

understand and manage their expectations to ensure a

satisfactory outcome.

Clinical Guide for (MP)² Treatment with

Diamondpolar Applicator

Versa User Manual A-5

A.5.3. Expected Clinical Effects

• Mild discomfort may be associated with the treatment.

• Heat sensation will be felt both during and following the

treatment.

instructions, i.e. holding the applicator for too long on the same

spot. If such a burn occurs, it should be treated conventionally.

A.5.5. Documentation

• It is strongly recommended to take photographs of the treatment

area, both before and upon completion of the treatment series,

in order to document the clinical results and verify a positive

outcome. It is imperative to maintain consistency in the

photographic conditions.

• Treatment documents should be kept with the patient chart.

Clinical Guide for (MP)² Treatment with

Diamondpolar Applicator

A-6 Versa User Manual

A.5.6. Preparing for the Treatment

• All Jewelry and/or metal items should be removed from the

treatment area.

• The treated area should be clean and free of lotions, creams,

and make-up.

• Ensure that the patient is relaxed, comfortable and lying down

on the treatment bed with the treated area exposed.

• Glycerin should be applied thoroughly to the treatment area.

Caution

Applying an insufficient amount of glycerin to the treatment

area results in bad coupling and may adversely affect the

treatment results.

Clinical Guide for (MP)² Treatment with

Diamondpolar Applicator

Versa User Manual A-7

A.6. General Treatment Information

• The recommended treatment duration is between 15 and 30

minutes, depending on the treatment area.

• Acceptable results will likely require a number of treatments,

performed over a period of time, depending on the treatment

area and the performed procedure.

• In the initial treatment it is important to adjust the treatment

time and required energy level to best suit the patient's tolerance

to the treatment. Tolerance will increase as the patient becomes

more familiar with the treatments.

• The aim of the procedure is to heat the surface of the skin on

the treatment area and raise the temperature at least to the

therapeutic temperature (End Point), and maintain it for the

remaining time of the treatment.

• The End Point temperature should be at least 40°C, but should

not exceed 45°C. The treatment should be monitored with an

external IR thermometer.

• For optimal results, it is recommended to maintain the highest

temperature that the patient can tolerate, as long as it does not

exceed 45°C.

• If large areas are treated, it is recommended to divide them into

smaller areas, and divide the total treatment time accordingly.

• During the procedure, ensure that you are gently pressing the

applicator's electrodes against the patient's skin, making sure

that all electrodes are in contact with the skin as much as

possible.

Clinical Guide for (MP)² Treatment with

Diamondpolar Applicator

A-8 Versa User Manual

• The applicator strokes should be long and continuous, and

performed in form of "8" figures, circles, ellipses or waves. The

applicator must always be in motion, while in contact with the

skin surface.

• If the measured skin surface temperature (as measured by the

digital thermometer) at End Point is less than 40˚C, treatment is

not optimal and the desired results will not be accomplished.

• The achieved skin temperature depends on the applicator

movement speed and energy level. The lower the energy, the

slower the movement should be and vice-versa.

• In the event that the patient experiences discomfort or pain

during the treatment, either decrease the energy percentage, or

apply more glycerin, or perform wider and quicker movements,

or stop the treatment.

• Typically, optimal results will be achieved within 6-10 sessions

performed once a week. The actual number of sessions needed

depends on the initial condition of the patient and their

compliance.

B.5.5. Documentation

• It is strongly recommended to take "Before and After"

photographs of the treated area to help document the treatment

progress, manage expectations and maximize the patient

satisfaction. Since many patients are not able to see the progress

of treatment objectively, because it is a slow and gradual

change, these photographs will help in providing objective

evidence of the progress.

"Before and After" photos are also useful tools in promoting the

clinic, and can be presented to other potential clients in order to

show the results they can expect from the treatment.

To ensure consistency in the photographs, use the following

guidelines:

 Make markings on the floor, indicating exactly where the

patient should stand for taking their photos.

 Ensure that the same camera speed, flash and distance are

used the each time.

• Treatment documents, including information such as body

measurements and weight, should be maintained. Body

measurements and weight should be taken before the first

treatment and registered in the treatment documents.

To ensure consistency in the measurements results, guidelines

should be set and followed in order to make sure that all

measurements are carried out exactly in the same manner, each

time.

• The applicator movements should be performed in form of "8"

figures, circles, ellipses or lifting movements. The applicator

must always be in motion, while in contact with the skin

surface. In order to avoid overheating and to assist in the

tolerance of the procedure, the applicator should be in constant

motion.

• If the measured skin surface temperature (as measured by the

digital thermometer) at End Point is less than 41˚C on the face

or 41˚C on the body, treatment is not optimal and the desired

results will not be accomplished.

• The achieved skin temperature depends on the applicator

movement speed and energy level. The lower the energy, the

slower the movement should be and vice-versa.

• In the event that the patient experiences discomfort or pain

during the treatment, either decrease the energy percentage, or

apply more glycerin, or perform wider and quicker movements,

or stop the treatment.

• The built-in thermometer is used only to verify that the

recommended temperature (End Point) of the treated area is

achieved and maintained.

• In most cases, a full body session will include 8-10 treatments

per treated area. The patient should be treated once a week.

• In the event that the patient suddenly feels bad or is in distress,

the Emergency Button must be pressed, by the patient or the

operator, to shut down the system immediately.

C.1. Introduction

Figure C-1 shows the Viva applicator.

Figure C-1. Viva Applicator

Through an array of small electrodes organized on a tip,

radiofrequency energy is transmitted into the tissue, producing an

injury in a certain pattern to the skin. The un-affected areas

promote faster healing and the result is an improvement in the tone

and texture of the skin.

C.2. Indications

The Venus Versa system, using the Viva applicator, is designed for

use in dermatological procedures requiring ablation and

resurfacing of the skin.

Clinical Guide for Fractional RF Treatment

with Viva Applicator

Versa User Manual C-7

C.6. Pre-Treatment Information

• Complete or update the patient's medical and physical history.

• Exclude patients presenting any contraindications from

treatment.

• Determine why the patient is seeking treatment and what the

expectations are.

• Inform the patient of the treatment protocol, typical treatment

results and possible adverse effects and discomfort.

• Instruct the patient of the safety aspects he/she should observe.

• Advise the patient to avoid skin irritation or intentional skin

tanning. Sun-screen is advisable when outdoors during daylight

hours.

• The patient should discontinue any topical agents for 2-3 days

prior to treatment.

• The patient should arrive for treatment with clean skin. There

should be no lotion, make-up, perfume, powder, or bath/shower

oil present on the skin in the area to be treated. Shave any hair

in the treatment area.

• No lotion, gel or coupling medium should be used during

treatment.

• Areas of dental crowns, caps, braces, or other metal dental

implants may be more sensitive to treatment and the clinician

may use dental rolls, gauze or a tongue depressor to isolate the

area and make the treatment more comfortable.

C.7. Preparing the Applicator and Tip

• Before each treatment clean the entire applicator surface with a

medical disinfectant that does not contain alcohol. Ensure that it

is dry before beginning the treatment.

• Use a different tip for each patient and make sure that the tip is

cleaned, as per the instructions in this manual, prior to the

treatment.

• Connect the tip to the distal port of the applicator and ensure

that the tip is secured in place.

• Check the integrity of the tip's electrode-pins and ensure that

they are all intact. Do not use the tip if any pins are damaged or

missing.

Clinical Guide for Fractional RF Treatment

with Viva Applicator

Versa User Manual C-9

C.8. Test Treatment

Caution

In order to prevent adverse effects, test spots should be

performed before each treatment and upon changing the

treatment parameters.

When beginning a new treatment, perform a small test spot in a

non-conspicuous area of the treatment site, prior to the first

complete session. Test spots are performed to establish the

following requirements:

• Confirm the patient's suitability for treatment: for skin types IIII

wait 24-48 hours before assessing the skin response, and for

skin types IV-VI wait 5-7 days.

• Establish and confirm treatment parameters: If the desired endpoint

of erythema and edema – in a tip-shaped pattern – has not

been achieved within 10-15 minutes, increase the RF energy

level and perform another test spot. If the response is excessive,

decrease the parameters and perform another test spot.

Test spot results will indicate if the patient can tolerate the

treatment without developing adverse effects. According to patient

tolerance to the test spot, you may determine treatment parameters

and whether anesthesia is needed. In addition, it is advisable to

perform a test spot whenever changing parameters.

Caution

For Asian patients, after spot testing, enforce a "waiting period"

for one skin type level higher than the apparent skin type.

Clinical Guide for Fractional RF Treatment

with Viva Applicator

C-10 Versa User Manual

C.9. Treatment Procedure

• Shave any hair in the treatment area.

• Ensure that the skin is completely dry during the entire

treatment. If the skin moistens during treatment (i.e.

perspiration, etc.) re-wipe the skin with an alcohol pad and

ensure that the skin is completely dry before continuing the

treatment.

• When treating full-face, after completing the first half of the

face, make sure to dry the untreated half before commencing the

treatment.

• Set the treatment parameters. Set the desired energy level

according to the skin type, severity of the treated condition,

treatment area, bone proximity, etc. Set conservative parameters

for a test spot for the first treatment, and then gradually increase

during treatment or in subsequent treatments according to the

desired impact and test spot results.

• Select the desired tip pattern, and enable the Repeat mode, if

desired.

• Treatment consists of a single pass over the treatment area.

Adjust the treatment parameters according to the test spot

response. To perform the treatment, place the tip on the target

zone, perpendicular to the skin surface and with full contact

with the skin.

• Emit a pulse by pressing the applicator's trigger; this will create

a tip-shaped pattern on the patient's skin that will appear 1-2

minutes later. Move the applicator to an adjacent spot on the

skin and emit another pulse. There should be no untreated gaps

between the pulses. Be careful not to overlap the treated zones.

Clinical Guide for Fractional RF Treatment

with Viva Applicator

Versa User Manual C-11

• Examine the treated area. The immediate responses, indicative

of the desired effect, are erythema and edema in the immediate

area of the tip-shaped pattern and possibly also around it. The

edema usually appears 1-2 minutes after pulsing and reaches its

peak (of up to moderate edema) within 30 minutes. It should be

noted that erythema is not easily noticeable – if at all – in darker

skin types. Therefore, the edema will be more prominent in

these patients.

• After completing a full pass on the entire treatment area, if

untreated patches of skin are apparent, re-treat these patches as

per the following procedure:

i. Wipe the untreated patch of skin with a dry gauze pad.

ii. Treat the untreated patches of skin as normally.

• Fine-tuning of the parameters should be done before proceeding

to treatment of the entire facial sub-area with the selected

parameters.

• 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. Leave no

untreated gaps between the pattern marks, while also being

careful not to overlap the treated zones.

• The parameters can be modified during subsequent visits, as per

the practitioner's discretion.

Clinical Guide for Fractional RF Treatment

with Viva Applicator

C-12 Versa User Manual

Caution

• The system must be in the Standby state 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.

• Always perform a test spot, and wait as needed to evaluate

the results, before treatment and before setting or changing

presets.

• Use lower RF energy levels when treating in close proximity

to a bone.

• Non-dry skin may lead to pain. Ensure that the skin is

completely dry during treatment.

Clinical Guide for Fractional RF Treatment

with Viva Applicator

Versa User Manual C-13

C.10. 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 patient response.

C.11. Treatment Parameters

Selecting the appropriate RF Energy level is essential for

successful treatment.

Always start with a low energy level and observe the skin's

reaction before increasing the energy.

When applying energy to tissue, there are different effects

achieved in the tissue:

• With a relatively low increase of temperature there may be

activation of cellular components of the skin.

• Further temperature increase may lead to cellular destruction

(necrosis/coagulation) and an even further temperature increase

leads to ablation.

Caution

When choosing the treatment parameters, take into

consideration the diffusion and depth of the lesion, as well as its

specific anatomical location such as proximity to bone. In

addition, the patient's skin type and tolerance should always be

considered.

Clinical Guide for Fractional RF Treatment

with Viva Applicator

C-14 Versa User Manual

C.12. Post Treatment Care

• Post-treatment cooling is not necessary. In the event of posttreatment

discomfort, it is recommended to cool the treated area

immediately with air cooling. Cold (not frozen) packs may also

be used. Blistered or ulcerated skin can be treated with a

prescribed cream.

• Tiny scabs of less than 1 mm diameter will usually form 24-72

hours post-treatment and may remain for several days. The

scabs should not be touched or scratched even if they itch, and

should be allowed to shed off naturally.

• Blistered or ulcerated skin can be treated with a prescribed

antibiotic ointment or burn treatment cream as per physician's

discretion.

• During the first two days following treatment, care should be

taken to prevent trauma to the treated site. Hot baths, massage,

etc. should be avoided. The skin should be kept clean to avoid

contamination or infection. Any mechanical or thermal damage

to the area must be avoided.

• Moisturizer may be applied only 24 hours after each treatment,

and then should be applied regularly throughout the course of

the treatment. Make-up may be applied only 24 hours after each

treatment if desired, unless an unwanted reaction occurs in the

area. Generally 24 hours after treatment, patients may use

regular soaps, but not scrub soaps or exfoliants.

• The patient should use a high-factor sunscreen (at least 30 SPF)

and protect the treated area from sunlight for at least one month

after the treatment. Tanning of any sort (sun exposure, tanning

beds, and artificial sunless tanning lotions) is not allowed in the

treated areas during the entire course of the treatment. Tanning

after treatment may cause hyperpigmentation.

Clinical Guide for Fractional RF Treatment

with Viva Applicator

Versa User Manual C-15

C.13. Follow-Up

The following are recommendations for post-treatment follow-up.

The most suitable regimen for each patient should be determined

after reading this section.

• The patient should return 2-3 days after the treatment to ensure

that no adverse events have occurred.

• The patient should return several (4-6) weeks after the last

treatment for evaluation of the treatment area.

• Update the patient's medical history before each session while

being mindful of sun tanning, new medications, etc. If the

patient has not violated the contraindications, treatment may be

performed.

• Prior to treatment, perform a test spot in order to choose the

adequate treatment parameters.

• If no results are observed and adverse events are noticed,

treatment should be discontinued.

C.14. Treatment Conclusion

Treatment should be concluded when the results are satisfactory to

the patient or according to the physician's discretion. Generally 3-4

sessions are needed every 4-6 weeks. Do not perform more than

five consecutive sessions.

D.1. Introduction

Figure D-1 shows the SR515 and SR580 IPL applicators.

Figure D-1. SR515 (Left) and SR580 (Right) IPL Applicators

The effect of Venus Versa is based on well-known principles of

selective photothermolysis, developed both theoretically and

practically during the last two decades. One application that

demonstrates the principle of photothermolysis is IPL-based skin

rejuvenation.

Clinical Guide for SR515 and SR580

Applicators

Versa User Manual D-3

In treating various vascular and pigmented lesions selective

photothermolysis is used to target various chromophores such as

oxyhemoglobin, that serves as a chromophore for the treatment of

vascular lesions, and melanin located in the upper dermis that

serves as the chromophore for various pigmented lesion treatments.

Selective photothermolysis uses the matching of a specific

wavelength of light and pulse duration to obtain optimal heating

effect of the targeted tissue with minimal effect on surrounding

tissues.

D.2. Indications

The SR515 and the SR580 IPL applicators are indicated for the

treatment of benign pigmented epidermal and cutaneous lesions

including: dyschromia, hyperpigmentation, melasma, ephelides

(freckles), lentigines, nevi, and cafe-au-lait macules.

The SR515 and SR580 applicators are also indicated for the

treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions including port wine

stains, hemangiomas, facial, truncal and leg telangiectasias,

rosacea, erythema of rosacea, angiomas and spider angiomas,

poikiloderma of civatte, leg veins and venous malformations.

D.7. Test Spot

Prior to the first complete session, perform a small test spot

treatment on a non-conspicuous site of the treatment area.

Wait for at least 15 minutes for skin types I-IV, or 48 hours for

skin types V-VI and Asian, before assessing the skin response.

This procedure can indicate if the patient can tolerate the treatment

without developing adverse effects.

D.8. Treatment Method

• Ensure that the patient is relaxed, comfortable and lying down

on the treatment bed with the treatment area exposed.

• Ensure that area that is to be treated is free of hair and that the

skin is clean. Ensure that the applicator tip is clean.

• Equip the patient with the appropriate protective eyewear.

• Set parameters for a test spot near the lower energy range for

the first treatment, and then increase gradually during

subsequent treatments as the pigmented/vascular lesions

become less noticeable.

• Set the treatment parameters, taking into consideration the

patient's skin type, the indication for use and the treatment

protocol.

• Apply a layer of ultrasonic gel to the treatment area.

• Place the applicator against the treated area so as to put the

sapphire in full contact with the patient's skin.

• Always start with lower parameters at the first session and

increase gradually during subsequent treatments.

Clinical Guide for SR515 and SR580

Applicators

D-8 Versa User Manual

• Use lower parameters in the following cases: strong and

persistent immediate response (longer than 5 minutes) such as

diffused erythema, prolonged redness in the shape of the light

guide, and excessive patient discomfort.

• If the skin shows no adverse events and there are no visible

changes in the pigmented or vascular lesion, increase the energy

level.

• When treating large areas, it is sometimes easier to divide the

area to smaller sub-areas. Use a white pencil to mark the subareas.

• After adjusting the parameters, emit a pulse at the treatment site

and assess the skin response.

 When treating pigmented lesions, acceptable fluence causes

darkening of the pigmented lesions (sometimes appearing

gray). Continue the treatment with the same parameters.

 When treating vascular lesions, acceptable fluence causes

disappearance or blanching of the treated vessels (some

larger vessels appear bluish or dark). Continue treatment

with the same parameters.

• Treat with up to 20% overlap, to avoid untreated areas.

• In some cases more than one pass may be required. If the skin

shows no adverse effects and there are no visible changes in the

pigmented/vascular lesion, perform an additional pass on the

same area, after completing a full pass on the whole treated

area. Some areas tolerate 1-3 additional passes. Erythema

should subside within a few minutes following each pass.

• If skin response allows, 1-3 passes may be performed until

endpoint is reached.

• Always ensure that the patient is comfortable with the treatment

parameters. In case of patient discomfort, lower the energy

settings.

Clinical Guide for SR515 and SR580

Applicators

Versa User Manual D-9

D.9. Treatment Protocol

• Usually 4-6 treatments are required in order to achieve the

desired results. More sessions may be required for skin with

severe photodamage. Usual intervals for the first three sessions

are 3-4 weeks.

• One touch-up session may be needed every 3-6 months,

according to individual natural physiological processes.

D.9.1. Setting the Treatment Parameters

It is always recommended to start with a low energy level and

observe the skin's reaction before increasing the energy.

The effect of Venus Versa is based on well-known principles of

selective photothermolysis, developed both theoretically and

practically during the last two decades.

One of the most common applications that demonstrates the

principle of photothermolysis is IPL based hair removal. In hair

removal, an optical energy source focuses on the endogenous

chromophore melanin, which is mainly found in the hair shaft, with

a small amount present in the upper third of the follicular

epithelium. When an appropriate energy source is directed at the

skin, light is primarily absorbed in the hair shaft melanin. Heat is

generated and diffuses to the surrounding follicular epithelium.

In hair removal, selective photothermolysis uses the matching of a

specific wavelength of light and pulse duration to obtain optimal

heating effect of the targeted tissue with minimal effect on

surrounding tissues. The IPL source can cause localized damage by

selectively heating dark target matter, melanin, in the area that

causes hair growth, the follicle, while only minimally heating the

rest of the skin.

Light is absorbed by dark objects. Therefore, the energy can be

absorbed by dark material in the skin at greater speed and higher

intensity than in the lighter surrounding tissue. Melanin is

considered the primary chromophore for all hair removal IPL based

treatments.

E.2. Indications

The HR650, HR690, HR 650XL and HR690XL IPL applicators are

indicated for the removal of unwanted hair and to effect stable

long-term or permanent hair reduction.

E.5. Possible Side Effects

Improper use of the system may result in possible side effects.

Although these effects are rare and expected to be temporary, any

adverse reaction should be reported to the physician immediately.

Side effects may include any of the conditions listed below. Side

effects may appear either at the time of treatment or shortly after.

Some dark-skinned patients may have a delayed response one-totwo

days after treatment and should be evaluated post-test spot

accordingly.

The side effects may include:

• Pain

• Excessive skin redness (erythema) and/or swelling (edema)

• Damage to natural skin texture (crust, blister, burn)

• Change of pigmentation (hyper- and hypo-pigmentation)

• Scarring

E-6 Versa User Manual

E.6. Before Starting

• Determine why the patient is seeking treatment and what the

expectations are.

• Inform the patient about the treatment protocol, typical

treatment results and possible adverse effects and discomfort.

• Instruct the patient about the safety issues.

• Advise the patient to avoid skin irritation or intentional skin

tanning. Sun-screen is advisable when outdoors during daylight

hours.

• The patient should discontinue any irritant topical agents for 2-

3 days prior to treatment.

• Remove any lotion, make-up, perfume, powder or bath/shower

oil present on the patient's skin in the area to be treated. Wipe

the treatment area with a non-alcoholic preparation.

• If necessary, a topical anesthetic may be used according to the

physician's discretion.

• The hair in the area that is to be treated should be clearly visible

to the operator. Mark the area with white or yellow color and

shave it before treatment. Alternatively, ask the patient to shave

at home ~2 days prior to treatment.

• Make sure that all jewelry and/or metal items (including any

belly rings) are removed from the treated area, to ensure

treatment safety.

• Before each treatment clean the entire applicator surface with a

medical disinfectant. Wipe the applicator tip with alcohol. Let

the tip dry completely before pulsing. Cleaning of the applicator

should always be done while system is set to Standby state or

turned off.

Versa User Manual E-7

E.7. Test Spot

Prior to the first complete session, perform a small test spot

treatment on a non-conspicuous site of the treatment area.

Wait for at least 15 minutes for skin types I-IV, or 48 hours for

skin types V-VI and Asian, before assessing the skin response.

This procedure can indicate if the patient can tolerate the treatment

without developing adverse effects.

E.8. Treatment Method

• Ensure that the patient is relaxed, comfortable and lying down

on the treatment bed with the treatment area exposed.

• Ensure that the hair in the treated area is shaved and that the

skin is clean. Ensure that the applicator tip is clean.

• Equip the patient with the appropriate protective eyewear.

• Set parameters for a test spot near the lower energy range for

the first treatment, and then increase gradually during

subsequent treatments as hair density decreases or hair become

lighter/finer.

• Set the treatment parameters, taking into consideration the

patient's skin type, the indication for use and the treatment

protocol.

• Apply a layer of ultrasonic gel to the treatment area.

• Place the applicator against the treated area so as to put the

sapphire in full contact with the patient's skin.

• Always start with lower parameters at the first session and

increase gradually during subsequent treatments.

Clinical Guide for Hair Removal Using IPL

HR Applicators

E-8 Versa User Manual

• Use lower parameters in the following cases: strong and

persistent immediate response (longer than 5 minutes) such as

diffused erythema, prolonged redness in the shape of the light

guide, and excessive patient discomfort.

• If the skin shows no adverse events and there are no visible

changes in the pigmented or vascular lesion, increase the energy

level.

• When treating large areas, it is sometimes easier to divide the

area to smaller sub-areas. Use a white pencil to mark the subareas.

• After adjusting the parameters, emit a pulse at the treatment site

and assess the skin response. Acceptable fluence causes slight

general erythema and perifollicular erythema or edema around

dark/coarse hair follicles. Light and fine hair often does not

show the perifollicular response. Continue the treatment with

the same parameters.

• Treat with up to 20% overlap, to avoid untreated areas.

• When treating light/fine hair, sometimes more than one pass is

required. If the skin shows no adverse effects and there are no

visible changes in hair and follicles, perform an additional pass

on the same area, after completing a full pass on the whole

treated area. Some areas tolerate 1-3 additional passes.

Erythema should subside within a few minutes following each

pass.

• If skin response allows, 1-3 passes may be performed until

endpoint is reached.

• Stubborn dark/coarse hair may also require an additional pass to

show a response.

• Always ensure that the patient is comfortable with the treatment

parameters. In case of patient discomfort, lower the energy

settings.

Clinical Guide for Hair Removal Using IPL

HR Applicators

Versa User Manual E-9

E.9. Treatment Protocol

• Usually 6-10 treatments are required in order to achieve the

desired results. More sessions may be required for light and fine

hair and in hormonally controlled areas. Patients should

schedule another session when hair re-growth is observed.

• Usual intervals for the first three sessions are 4-6 weeks on the

face and 4-8 weeks on the body. Increase the intervals as

treatment progresses and hair becomes lighter and fine. Some

areas like legs and back may require longer intervals.

• One touch-up treatment session may be needed for sporadic

new hair growth due to individual physiological processes.

F.1. Introduction

Figure F-1 shows the ACDUAL applicator.

Figure F-1. ACDUAL Applicator

The effect of Venus Versa is based on well-known principles of

selective photothermolysis, developed both theoretically and

practically during the last two decades. One application that

demonstrates the principle of photothermolysis is Acne Vulgaris.

Clinical Guide for the ACDUAL Applicator

Versa User Manual F-3

Acne results from the clogging of sebaceous glands with sebum, a

naturally occurring oil, and dead skin cells. In these conditions, the

naturally occurring largely commensal bacterium

Propionibacterium acnes can cause inflammation within and

around the follicle, leading to inflammatory lesions (papules,

infected pustules, or nodules) in the dermis, which results in

redness and may result in scarring or hyperpigmentation.

Selective photothermolysis uses the matching of a specific

wavelength of light and pulse duration to obtain optimal heating

effect of the targeted tissue with minimal effect on surrounding

tissues.

The ACDUAL applicator targets both aspects of Acne Vulgaris. It

uses a blue light (415 nm) to target the porphyrins produced by the

p.Acne bacteria and destroy the bacteria, and also uses a red light

(630 nm) to help reduce inflammation, inhibit sebum production

and improve healing.

F.2. Indications

The ACDUAL IPL applicator is indicated for the treatment of

Acne Vulgaris.
