5.2 How to apply one laser
dose per treatment zone
5.2.1 Laser dosage system
The Philips RéAura skin rejuvenation device
does not work on the basis of treatment time.
Its working principle is delivering exactly the
right amount of laser energy or dose to a
predetermined treatment area. Each treatment
area - face, neck, chest, hands, or forearms - is
divided into zones. Each zone is treated with a
preset amount of laser energy or dose. If you
apply one dose to each zone, your skin receives
exactly the amount of laser energy it requires to
achieve results. Moving the device faster does not
mean that you are finished sooner. You have to be
accurate and move the device in the correct way.
5.2.2 Treatment zones
The device can be used on the face, neck, chest,
hands and forearms. The face is divided into left
cheek, right cheek and forehead. The cheek zones
include the chin, the area between lips and nose
and the area between eyes and ears. The forehead
includes the area between the eyes.
5.2.3 Treat a zone until you hear 'zone-
completed' sound
When the right dose has been applied, the laser
dosage system produces a short sound to indicate
that you have reached the end of the dose. Then
the device goes into standby mode for about 4
seconds to allow you to move it to the next zone.
As an indication, it takes up to 10 minutes to treat
one zone (so up to 30 minutes for a full face
treatment). Treatment times are likely to go down
22
after a few treatments to approximately 6 minutes
per zone. These times are just indications. Don't
base the duration of treating a zone on these
indications, but continue to treat until you hear
the 'zone-completed' sound.
Caution:
C
If you select another intensity setting, if you detach
the application tip or if you switch the device off
before the complete dose has been applied, the
laser dosage system resets and the next dose
applied to the skin will be a complete one.
5.2.4 Treatment of the face
•
Apply laser performance gel up to the edge
of the forehead and cheek bones around your
eyes so that you can see the boundary of the
treatment area. Prevent gel from getting into
your eyes.
•
Apply one full dose to each zone. To make
it easy for yourself, start with the cheek on
the side of your dominant hand. Then apply a
dose to the other cheek. Finally, apply a dose
to your forehead.
Note:
D
It may be difficult to move the device across
your forehead while maintaining proper skin
contact. You can also hold the device still and
move your head instead to make the required
strokes across your forehead.
Caution:
C
Do not use the device on the lips, the eyelids
and on the soft area below the eye. Only treat
the area around the eye where you can feel
bone underneath the skin.
