• Before the first treatment perform a
skin test on the treatment area with
the treatment parameters presented
in the table. Assess skin reaction:
after 30min for skin types I-III, and 24
hours for skin types IV-V.
• Set treatment parameters according
to skin test.
• Verify applicator tip cooling.
• Apply ultrasound gel or spray.
• Perform treatment with In-Motion™
