2.8 Safety Features of the System
The System incorporates the following safety features. All personnel operating the System should be familiar with these features.
The System has unique password to avoid device operation by non-authorized
personnel.
The power electronics cannot be activated unless the applicator and Footswitch
have been connected to the System. With IPL, connection of the applicator is sufficient.
An audible tone indicates energy activation. During activation, the System performs a self-test of the hardware. Hardware is tested every 10ms to ensure proper operation of electrical circuit. Tissue impedance monitoring prevents accidental RF energy emission to the
patient.
Skin surface is monitored during the treatment of Forma Handpiece. RF energy
delivery is terminated when skin temperature reaches the Cut-Off level.
The System starts at a low setting. Temperature monitoring which disables system operation if the Handpiece
sapphire temperature is outside the operating range for, DiolazeXL, Vasculaze and Lumecca Handpieces only.
The System with the DiolazeXL and Vasculaze Handpieces includes a comprehensive monitoring system that allows operation only when numerous safety conditions have been met. A fault must be corrected and the System reset before laser operation is re-enabled. The monitoring system includes the following:
Remote interlock that allows laser emission only when electrical continuity is
made across the contacts of the remote interlock connector located on the rear of the console. The System is shipped with a remote interlock jumper already connected, providing electrical continuity and allowing the laser to operate. To set up a remote interlock switch, such as on the treatment room door, please contact qualified personnel.
The DiolazeXL and Vasculaze hand triggers allow laser emission only when the
Footswitch is pressed.
Laser Energy monitoring to verify that the laser output is within specific energy
tolerances for every laser pulse. If abnormally low or high laser current (indicative of optical energy) is detected, a System fault is triggered and the user is notified.

Section 6: DiolazeXL Treatment Information
DiolazeXL hair removal treatment is based on principles of selective photothermolisys. The light penetrates into the skin and is selectively absorbed by melanin of the hair shaft. The absorbed energy is converted into heat, coagulating the hair follicle. Multiple treatments are required for best results. White hairs are resistant to the treatment due to scares pigmentation in the hair shaft. DiolazeXL 810nm is a universal hair removal for all skin types.
6.1 Instructions for Use
The Optimas System with the DiolazeXL 810nm Handpiece is intended for hair removal and permanent hair reduction defined as the stable, long-term reduction in hair counts at 6, 9, or 12 months following a treatment regime.
6.2 Contraindications
Hair removal by lasers or intense pulse light sources can cause increased hair
growth in some individuals. Based upon currently available data, the highest risk groups for this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.
Current or history of skin cancer, or current condition of any other type of
cancer, or pre-malignant moles.
Pregnancy and nursing. Impaired immune system due to immunosuppressive diseases such as AIDS and
HIV or use of immunosuppressive medications.
Patients with history of diseases stimulated by heat, such as recurrent Herpes
Simplex in the treatment area, may be treated only following a prophylactic regimen.
Poorly controlled endocrine disorders, such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunction,
polycystic ovary and hormonal virilization.
Any active condition in the treatment area, such as sores, psoriasis, eczema, and
rash.
History of skin disorders, keloids, abnormal wound healing, as well as very dry
and fragile skin.
Severe concurrent conditions, such as cardiac disorders, sensory disturbances. Use of Isotretinoin (Accutane®) within 6 months prior to treatment.

Known skin photosensitivity or using drugs increasing skin photosensitivity. Diseases that may be stimulated by light, such as epilepsy, lupus and urticaria. Certain delay is recommended if other recent treatments like light, laser or RF
were performed on the same area.
Fresh tan from sun, sunbeds or chemicals. Lasers can cause increased hair growth in some individuals with the highest risk
groups for being females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.
Vitiligo. As per the practitioner's discretion, refrain from treating any condition which
might make it unsafe for the patient.
Do not treat the upper eyelids and the lips! Do not treat over tattoo and permanent makeup!
6.3 Possible Adverse Effects
Possible adverse effects include but are not limited by: discomfort or pain, excessive skin redness (erythema) and/or swelling (edema), damage to natural skin texture (crust, blister, and burn), change of pigmentation (hyper- and hypo-pigmentation), in-growing hairs and scarring.
Peri-follicular erythema and edema lasting for a few days after the treatment is a desirable typical treatment end point.
The patient must understand the importance of pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions and that failure to comply with these instructions may increase the probability of complications.
Hair removal by lasers can cause temporal increased hair growth in some individuals. Based upon currently available data, the highest risk groups for this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck

6.4 Pre-treatment Recommendations
During the patient’s first visit the treating attendant should:
Complete or update the patient's medical and physical history. Exclude from treatment anyone with the listed contraindications. Determine why the patient is seeking treatment and what his/her expectations
are.
Inform the patient about treatment arrangement, typical treatment results and
possible side effects and discomfort.
Instruct the patient about the safety warnings. Advise the patient to avoid skin irritation or skin tanning. Sunscreen is advisable
during outdoor activity at daylight hours.
The patient should discontinue any irritant topical agents for 2-3 days prior the
treatment.
Stop anticoagulants 7-10 days prior to treatment, if medically permitted. Photograph the patient. Mark the treatment area. Clean the s parts that come in contact with the skin with 70% alcohol.
Treatment area should be shaved prior the treatment. Hairs may absorb
light and leave burn marks on the skin.
6.5 Tip Cleaning Instructions Prior to Use
Clean the light guide with 70% alcohol absorbed pad for at least 30 sec. Leave it for complete drying.
6.6 Treatment Recommendations
1. Follow the Device Start-Up procedure from Section 5.
2. Ensure that the skin is clean.
3. Apply a thin layer of water-based clear gel to the treated area.
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 6: DiolazeXL Treatment Information
39 of 87
Prior to using water-based gel, ensure that the container of ultrasound gel
has not passed the expiration date
4. Make a test-spot with to see epidermal end-points of perifollicular
erythema/edema. Use Strong Cooling while treating for better comfort and safety. Perform the test spot in the area to be treated in a non-conspicuous site and wait according to the Table below or current QRG (Quick Reference Guide) to check the response.
5. Test and wait at least 15-30min and increase or decrease by 2J/cm² for skin
types I-IV. Wait 2-3 days and increase or decrease by 1-2J/cm² for skin types V­VI.
6. Set treatment parameters. Typical treatment parameters are shown in the
table below; however, an individual adjustment is required:
7. Always start with a low settings level to check patient tolerance. Test, watch
epidermal response, and increase or decrease settings gradually. Darker skin is safer to treat with Long pulse width. Lighter hair requires higher fluence to reach the results. Stronger cooling allows better epidermis protection but may compromise results on very superficial hair e.g. upper lip or Asian skin in general. Reduce fluence on thin skin and in bone proximity along with a thicker layer of gel. Consider primarily safety for selection of parameters.
8. Apply to the treated area ensuring a contact with pressure, depress foot switch
and press trigger button to deliver DiolazXL laser pulse.

rate. Move handpiece to adjacent area only after the energy is delivered and machine has indicated that the pulse is completed.
11. In a single mode (Pulse Mode at Off) - move Handpiece to adjacent spot and
apply next pulse to cover all treatment area.
12. If end-points are not obvious, or if gaps are apparent, perform another pass,
preferably in a different direction, when general erythema subsides. Occasionally, a third pass on selected sites is applied on light skin. Ensure that there is a delay of a few minutes between passes (after the whole area is treated) before applying additional pass.
6.7 Treatment Schedule
The number of treatments is typically varied from 4-10 sessions every 4-8 weeks on the face and every 6-12 weeks on the body.
Lighter and deeper hair is more resistant and requires more treatment
sessions.
Hair re-growth should be observed prior the treatment. Treatment should be concluded when the results are satisfactory to the
patient or according to the physician's discretion.
6.8 Post-treatment Recommendations
Following each treatment session, the physician should advise the patient on proper care.
Sun block should be used for 3 weeks following the treatment. Moisturizer may be applied after each treatment. Make-up may be applied immediately after facial treatment. During the first 2 days following treatment, care should be taken to prevent
trauma to the treated area: avoid hot baths, massage, etc. The skin should be kept clean to avoid contamination or infection, any mechanical or thermal damage to the area must be avoided.

Section 8: Lumecca Treatment Information
IPL Lumecca treatment is based on principles of selective photothermolysis. The light penetrates into the skin and is selectively absorbed by lesion chromophore (melanin or hemoglobin) having darker color than surrounding tissue. Absorbed energy is converted into heat, coagulating the lesion which fades during a few weeks following the treatment. Fine textural lesions like macro-pores, and fine lines may improve along with the pigmented and vascular lesions in the skin photo-rejuvenation process. Multiple treatment sessions may be required for best results.
8.1 Indications for Use
The Lumecca Handpieces are intended for treatment of superficial vascular and pigmented lesions on skin type I to IV
8.2 Contraindications

Diseases that may be stimulated by light, such as epilepsy, lupus and urticaria. Vitiligo. Skin type V and VI and excessively tanned skin from sun, tanning beds or tanning
creams and sprays within the last two weeks.
As per the practitioner's discretion, refrain from treating any condition which
might make it unsafe for the patient.
Do not treat the upper eyelids or the lips! Do not treat over tattoo and permanent makeup and treat away from the
tattoo at least the width of the treatment tip!
Permanent hair reduction may occur in treated area. Don’t treat over area with high density of hair follicles. Absorption of light
by hair follicles may cause skin adverse reaction.
8.3 Possible Side Effects
Possible adverse effects include but are not limited by: discomfort or pain, excessive skin redness (erythema) and/or swelling (edema), damage to natural skin texture (crust, blister, and burn), change of pigmentation (hyper- and hypo-pigmentation), and scarring.
Erythema, lasting not longer than 24h is a typical skin reaction to the Lumecca treatment.
The patient must understand the importance of pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions and that failure to comply with these instructions may increase the probability of complications.
8.4 Pre-treatment Recommendations
During the patient’s first visit the treating attendant should:
Complete or update the patient's medical and physical history. Exclude from treatment anyone with the listed contraindications. Determine why the patient is seeking treatment and what his/her expectations
are.
Inform the patient about treatment arrangement, typical treatment results and
possible side effects and discomfort.
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 8: Lumecca Treatment Information
48 of 87
Instruct the patient about the safety warnings. Advise the patient to avoid skin tanning for 3-4 weeks prior to the treatment and
use at least 30 SPF sunblock during outdoor activity at daylight hours.
The patient should discontinue any irritant topical agents for 2-3 days prior the
treatment.
Stop anticoagulants 7-10 days prior to treatment, if medically permitted. Photograph the patient. Mark the treatment area. Clean the handpieces parts that come in contact with the skin with 70% alcohol.
The patient may shave the area to be treated. Long and dark hair may
absorb light and leave burn marks on the skin.
8.5 Tip Cleaning Instructions Prior to Use
Clean the light guide with 70% alcohol absorbed pad for at least 30 sec. Leave it to dry completely.
8.6 Test Spots
A small test spot with energy setting according to current QRG (Quick Reference Guide) should be performed in a non-conspicuous area of the treatment site, prior to the first complete session. Test spot is performed to establish the following requirements:
Confirm the patient's suitability for treatment:
For skin type I – IV wait 10-15 minutes before assessing the skin
response.
Do not treat skin type V-VI.

8.7 Treatment Recommendations
1. Follow Device Start-Up Procedure from System Operation section.
2. Ensure that skin is clean.
3. Apply thin to thick layer of water-based gel to the treated area, mostly face.
Prior to using water-based gel, ensure that the container of ultrasound gel
has not passed the expiration date.
4. Basic treatment considerations:
Treatment target is mainly face, or body, but not leg veins. Treatment targets are epidermal and junctional pigments, but not
dermal nevi and blood vessels 1-2mm deep and <0.5mm diameter (red and purple), but not deeper and larger (blue and black).
Set treatment parameters. Reduce ~20% fluence on thin sensitive skin
like neck or bony area like forehead. Further reduce fluence on thin sensitive skin over bone like chest and hand dorsum and on off-face, body areas, as well as on off-face areas, such as arms and legs.
Use higher Fluence settings for vascular lesions than for pigmented
lesions.
Use higher Fluence settings for lighter pigments than for darker. Use higher Fluence settings for larger and deeper veins than for
smaller and superficial ones.
The Strong Cooling should protect the skin surface. Normal Cooling may be used after testing on very superficial and small
capillaries on light skin to avoid vessel constriction.
Use a short pulse width for pigments on skin types I-II, occasionally III.
Can also start in Long Pulse then make additional pass in Short Pulse.
Use a long pulse to prevent purpura or bruising in dense vascular areas
such as cheeks and chin.
Do not treat moles or suspicious lesions. If unsure, consult a
dermatologist or do not treat.
Treatment of facial melasma is controversial as it is a condition
controlled by hormones and may often reoccur. Furthermore, the response is unpredictable, presenting no response, lesion lightening, or even lesion darkening.
In hair-bearing area there is a risk of hair loss, temporary or
permanent.

5. Always start with a low settings level to check patient tolerance to the
treatment parameters, test and then gradually increase energy fluence to reach the results without compromising safety.
6. Apply hand piece to the treated area ensuring a full contact with slight
pressure (less pressure over superficial blood capillaries) and press trigger button to deliver light pulse.
7. Perform a test spot in the area to be treated in a non-conspicuous site and
wait a few minutes to check the response. Wait a longer time on darker skin.
8. In a single mode (AutoRepeat Off), move Handpiece by stamping to adjacent
area without overlap and apply next pulse to cover all treatment area.
9. In a continuous mode, coordinate handpiece movement with the repetition
rate. Move handpiece to adjacent area only after the energy is delivered and machine has indicated that the pulse is completed.
10. After the first pass if end-points are not obvious, perform another pass, after
10-15 minutes, longer for darker skin type IV, or when general erythema subsides, preferably in a different light guide direction.
11. End-points are:
Greying and/or darkening of pigments. Darkening of blood vessels. Erythema and/or edema around lesions. Tighter skin-look.
Lumecca is a very powerful applicator. Take care with the treatment
parameters!
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 8: Lumecca Treatment Information

8.8 Post-treatment Recommendations
After each treatment session, the physician should advise the patient on proper care.
Sun block should be used for 3 weeks following the treatment. Moisturizer may be applied after each treatment. Make-up may be applied immediately after the treatment.
8.9 Treatment Schedule
The number of treatments typically varies from 2-5 sessions every 3-4 weeks. Pigmented lesions usually require less sessions than vascular lesions.
Treatment should be concluded when the results are satisfactory to the patient or according to the physician's discretion.

Section 9: Fractora Treatment Information
52 of 87
Section 9: Fractora Treatment Information
9.1 Fractional Skin Resurfacing
The Fractora Handpiece is designed for delivering RF energy to the skin surface in a fractional manner with the energy applied to <10% of the total coverage area. The energy is delivered to the skin through bipolar arrays of pins and results in localized heating and ablation of the skin that is in direct contact with the pins. Ablation of the skin promotes skin resurfacing while untreated skin between the pins promotes faster healing of the tissue. There is also the contribution of non-ablative, non­coagulating dermal matrix heating that occurs in the skin that is not subject to fractional ablation.
9.2 Indications for Use
Fractora Handpiece with 60 pin tip is designed for use in dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin.
Fractora Handpiece with 24 pin tip is intended for use in Dermatologic and General Surgical procedures for Electrocoagulation and Hemostasis. At higher energy levels greater than 62, use of the applicator is limited to Skin Types I-IV.
9.3 Contraindications
Pacemaker or internal defibrillator, or other metallic or electronic implant
anywhere in the body. The Handpiece should be used at least 1cm away from cochlear implants in the ear.
Permanent implant in the treated area such as metal plates, screws and metal
piercing or silicon, unless deep enough in the periosteal plane.
Intra-dermal or superficial sub-dermal areas injected with
Botox®/HA/collagen/fat injections or other augmentation methods with bio­material, before the product has been dissipated (up to 6 months), except Botox after binding to the facial muscles (3-7 days). It is possible to treat sooner over injectable products placed in the deep, periosteal plane, as soon as the area has healed (1-3 weeks).
Current or history of skin cancer, or any other type of cancer, or pre-malignant
moles.
Pregnancy and nursing. Severe concurrent conditions, such as cardiac disorders or sensory disturbances.
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 9: Fractora Treatment Information
53 of 87
Impaired immune system due to immunosuppressive diseases such as AIDS and
HIV or use of immunosuppressive medications.
Patients with history of diseases stimulated by heat, such as recurrent Herpes
Simplex in the treatment area, may be treated only following a prophylactic regime.
Poorly controlled endocrine disorders, such as diabetes or thyroid dysfunction
and hormonal virilization.
Any active skin condition in the treatment area, such as sores, psoriasis, eczema,
and rash.
History of skin disorders, keloids, abnormal wound healing, as well as very dry
and fragile skin.
History of bleeding coagulopathies. Any facial surgery performed within a year prior to treatment. Facial dermabrasion, facial resurfacing, or deep chemical peeling within the last
three months, if face is treated.
Having received treatment with light, laser, RF, or other devices in the treated
area within 2-3 weeks for non-ablative procedures, and 6-12 weeks for ablative fractional laser resurfacing (according to treatment severity) prior to treatment, except special recommendations.
Use of Isotretinoin (Accutane®) within 6 months prior to treatment. Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS, e.g., ibuprofen-containing
agents) one week before and after each treatment session, as per the practitioner’s discretion.
Treating over tattoo or permanent makeup. Treating over the lips. Treating over eyebrows or other hair bearing surfaces. Treat patients with skin types VI and dark VI with caution. Excessively tanned skin from sun, tanning beds or tanning creams and sprays
within the last two weeks.
As per the practitioner's discretion, refrain from treating any condition that
might make it unsafe for the patient.

9.4 Possible Adverse Side Effects
Possible adverse effects include but are not limited by: discomfort or pain, excessive skin redness (erythema) and/or swelling (edema), damage to natural skin texture (crust, blister, and burn), change of pigmentation (hyper- and hypo-pigmentation), and scarring.
Erythema lasting not longer than 24h and edema for 1-3 weeks is a typical skin reaction to the Fractora treatment.
Crusting from the ablated dots will exfoliate naturally after 1-3 weeks.
Occasionally, there is a potential low-level stimulation of branches of the facial nerve and there will be some involuntary contraction of the underlying facial muscle. This is transient and is not harmful, as the Fractora effect diminishes at the deeper level where parts of the facial nerve lie above the muscles.
The patient must understand the importance of pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions and that failure to comply with these instructions may increase the probability of complications.
9.5 Pre-treatment Recommendations
During the patient’s first visit the treating attendant should:
Complete or update the patient's medical and physical history. Exclude from treatment anyone with the listed contraindications. Determine why the patient is seeking treatment and what his/her expectations
are.
Determine accurately the patients Fitzpatrick skin type. Inform the patient about treatment arrangement, typical treatment results and
possible side effects and discomfort.
Instruct the patient about the safety warnings. Advise the patient to avoid skin irritation or intentional skin tanning. Sunscreen is
advisable when outdoors during daylight hours
Asian patients and those with skin types IV-VI should be treated gradually by
bleaching products 6 weeks prior treatment and stop at least 48 hours prior Fractora treatment to minimize risk of post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.
Prophylactic antiviral therapy should be prescribed for patients with history of
cold sores (Herpes Simplex) when treating around the mouth.
Stop anticoagulants 7-10 days prior to treatment, if medically permitted.
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 9: Fractora Treatment Information
55 of 87
Clean the treatment area. Apply anesthesia:
Many patients can tolerate the treatment with no anesthesia at low
energy levels of 5-20 energy levels and sometimes more. Topical anesthetic can be applied as needed prior to treatment.
Topical for 30-45 min – limited to energy as tolerated by the patient
and may reach 40-62 energy levels, depending on the percent numbing ingredients and patient sensitivity.
A few patients require nerve block for higher energy, limited to central
face.
Tumescent or IV sedation is applied usually when Fractora follows an
invasive procedure.
Cooling methods, such as air cooling, sterile ice-packs, or sterile latex gloves filled
with ice, help patient comfort during and after treatment.
The patient should shave the area to be treated. Long and dense hairs
prevent electrode contact with the skin’s surface.
9.6 Tip Cleaning Instructions Prior to Use
Clean the tip with 70% alcohol absorbed pad for at least 30sec. Leave it for complete drying. Before each use of the Fractora Handpiece and tip, they must be checked for
integrity and proper cleaning and drying.
The Fractora tip is single use only!
9.7 Test Spots
A small test spot should be performed in a non-conspicuous area of the treatment site, prior to the first complete session. Test spot is performed to establish the following requirements:
Confirm the patient's suitability for treatment:
For skin types I – III wait 10-15 minutes before assessing the skin
response.
For skin types V-VI wait 2-3 days if energy level <30 is used and 7-10
days if energy level >30 is used.
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 9: Fractora Treatment Information
56 of 87
Establish and confirm treatment parameters: if the desired end-point of
erythema and edema – in a tip-shaped pattern – has not been achieved within 10-15 minutes, increase the RF energy. If the response is excessive, decrease the parameters.
Low energy levels of 10-25 may be tolerated after topical anesthesia application.
Energy levels of 25-40 may require nerve block or tumescent and high energy levels of 40-62 may call for tumescent or IV sedation.
9.8 Treatment Recommendations
1. Apply the necessary means of anesthesia. If topical, make sure that it is
cleaned off the face before treatment and the skin is dried with alcohol 70%.
2. Ensure that skin is clean and dried with alcohol 70%.
3. Take an alcohol cleaned and dry tip and connect it to the Handpiece in the
groove.
4. Connect Handpiece to the System.
5. Follow Device Start-Up Procedure from System Operation section.
6. Refer to the most current QRG (Quick Reference Guide)

The approval and availability of the various Fractora tips may differ in
different countries.
8. Basic treatment consideration:
All tips may be applied to skin type I-IV. Skin types IV-VI are better
treated by 24 Coated pin tip.
60 pin tip energy is limited to 30 and repetition rate of 1pps in auto
pulse mode.
9. Always start with a low energy level, test and observe the skin's response
before increasing the energy.
10. The deeper the lesion, the higher the energy. However, this consideration is
limited according to patient tolerance, the anesthetic method used, and the affordable down time.
11. On sensitive thin skin area, such as lower eyelid, apply lower parameters with
more passes, rather than higher parameters in one pass. It is also applicable to any facial area for new users. Use lower energy (~20%) for thin skin like neck or bony area like forehead. When working on thin skin over bone, such as hand dorsum or chest, further reduce energy (~20%).
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 9: Fractora Treatment Information
58 of 87
12. Treat dark skin (V-VI) with the 24 coated pin tip, restrict energy, starting at
energy level 15 or lower, adding 5 levels each visit (every 3-4 weeks) to a maximum of energy level 40 on soft tissue, and energy level 25 over bone, preferably following bleaching regimen.
13. Apply the Fractora Handpiece to the treated area ensuring a contact with
pressure to minimize discomfort, and press the Footswitch to deliver RF energy
14. Move Handpiece to the adjacent area and press Footswitch again in the
SINGLE mode or adjust the repetition rate to the speed you move the tip to adjacent site.
15. Move to adjacent areas with no overlapping of side-electrodes (30-50%
overlap).
16. Occasionally, additional 1-2 passes may be applied to reinforce results on the
full area or on selected spots. Gaps may be treated after the full area is done.
17. The endpoint is substantial erythema and edema, visible ablative craters, and
burnt tissue smell often accompanied by tingling heat sensation.
9.9 Treatment Schedule
The number of treatment sessions depends on the individual patient and treatment aggressiveness and may vary from 1-5 sessions. Treatments are typically repeated every 3-6 weeks.
It is recommended to schedule follow-up session 2-3 days after the treatment to ensure safe healing process.
Treatment should be concluded when the results are satisfactory to the patient or according to the physician's discretion. Generally, 3-5 sessions are needed for mild to moderate depth settings. It is not typical to perform more than five consecutive sessions however more sessions can be performed as per physician discretion. In some instances, 1-2 sessions may be sufficient.
9.10 Post-treatment Recommendations
After each treatment session, the physician should advise the patient on proper care.
Cool the skin for 10-20 min. Emollient cream or occlusive dressing could be applied to the treatment area. Alternatively, prophylactic antibiotic treatment may be prescribed for 1-3 days
post treatment. Patient is to contact the physician if there is any indication of infection, excessive swelling, redness, undue pain, or any other unusual or untoward symptom.
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 9: Fractora Treatment Information
59 of 87
Tiny scabs may appear after 1-3 days and stay for several days following the
treatment. The scabs should not be touched or scratched even if they itch and should be allowed to flake off naturally.
Blisters may be treated with a prescribed antibiotic ointment or burn treatment
cream as per physician's discretion.
During the first two days following treatment the skin should be kept clean to
avoid contamination or infection; any mechanical or thermal damage to the area must be avoided.
Prophylactic antiviral therapy should be continued for patients with history of
cold sores (Herpes Simplex) when treating around the mouth.
Moisturizer may be applied 24-72 hours after each treatment and then should be
applied regularly throughout the course of the treatment. Make-up may be applied only 24-72 hours after each treatment session. Generally, 24 hours after treatment, patients may use regular soaps, but not scrub soaps or exfoliates.
The patient should use a high-factor sunscreen (at least 30 SPF) and protect the
treated area from over-exposure to sunlight for at least one month after the treatment, starting 24-72 hours post treatment. Excessive tanning of any sort (sun exposure, tanning beds, and artificial tanning lotions) is not allowed in the treated areas during the entire course of the treatment.
For Asian patients and skin types IV and V, a prescription or compounded
bleaching regimen may be prescribed by the physician for 6-12 weeks, 2-3 times a week following the healing of treatment area (typically 7 days) to minimize risk of post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. It should be stopped 48-72 hours before another Fractora session.

Thin layer
2-3mm
Thin skin over bone e.g. forehead, hand
25-35
As high as tolerable
Starting at 40oC
Thick layer
3-4mm
4. Any combination of treatment parameters should be according to skin
response and patient tolerance.
5. Always start with low settings and observe the skin's reaction and patient
comfort before increasing the RF energy.
6. Air condition directed at the patient treated area may reduce the skin surface
temperature in 1-2oC, and cut-off temperature should be reduced accordingly.
7. Divide facial and neck treatment area to zones as shown in figure below:
8. Neck may be 2 zones for under-chin or 4 zones with neck as well.
9. Users may prefer other ways to subdivide the face.
10. Body zone is ~12x12cm unless the area is smaller (~8x8cm).
11. Mark treatment zones prior to beginning treatment while patient is standing.
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 10: Forma Treatment Information
64 of 87
Figure 10-1: Recommended Forma Facial and Neck Treatment Zones
12. Apply 2-4mm clear ultrasound gel (not oil) to the treated zone and to adjacent
zone that can serve as a warm gel reservoir for replenishing gel in the treatment zone with minimal delay.
Prior to using water-based gel, ensure that the container of ultrasound gel
has not passed the expiration date.
13. RF is continuous in Repeat mode and stops every 30sec in Single mode. Always
work in Repeat mode.
14. Assume full contact of Handpiece with the skin with a slight pressure.
15. Use your free hand to flatten and stretch treatment area if needed for
complete contact and smooth movement.
16. Press the Footswitch and initiate the RF energy.
17. Move the Handpiece in circular movements or back and forth with gentle
pressure over the full treated zone to reach uniform skin heating. Movement should be constant and its amplitude should be at least double of Handpiece spot size to avoid hot spots.
18. Continue to treat the area in this fashion. Always start with a low setting level
to check the patient’s tolerance to the treatment parameters and increase the
settings gradually.
19. Apply multiple passes to maintain the desired temperature during ~5-7min on
face and neck. If cut-off temperature is <41°C, maintain the temperature for additional 1-3min per zone.
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 10: Forma Treatment Information
65 of 87
20. After treating the zone, move to the next zone.
21. For excessive heat sensation, you may increase the movement speed, reduce
the RF power and lastly, reduce the cut-off temperature for patient comfort. If this does not help, stop the treatment and move to the next zone.
22. When skin temperature reaches cut-off limit in ~2min, continue to treat for 15-
30min/zone the longer, the better. If cut-off temperature is <41°C, maintain the temperature for additional 1-3min.
23. Repeat treatment for the other zones, following the same protocol.
24. Slight erythema and edema is a typical immediate response. However, when
there is excessive skin response (erythema and edema), stop treatment and move to the next zone.
The skin should be observed for excessive erythema or edema. If observed,
stop the treatment and move to the next treatment zone.
Asian skin is typically thicker and more fibrotic than Caucasian skin, hence
occasionally higher energy, smaller zones, longer treatment and more sessions (all or part) may be required.
10.7 Treatment Schedule
The number of treatments is typically 8 sessions, once weekly and may vary
individually. Some patients may need 10 weekly sessions.
Longer treatment time in each treatment may help reduce the number of
sessions.
Thicker skin that is more fibrotic may require more sessions. Single maintenance sessions may be needed every 1-3 months.
10.8 Post-treatment Recommendations
Skin cooling is NOT recommended. The patient should avoid very hot water for 2 days after the treatment. The patient should avoid scrubbing, pinching and etc. of the treated area. Moisturizer and makeup may be applied to the skin surface immediately post
treatment.
Optimas System Operator Manual
Section 10: Forma Treatment Information
