Physical Properties and Settings
Explanation:
Frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz), refers to the number of laser pulses emitted per second. A higher frequency means more laser pulses in a shorter amount of time, which speeds up the treatment. However, higher frequency settings may also increase the heat build-up in the skin, which can affect patient comfort.
Why and How to Change:
For large areas like the legs or back, you would use a higher frequency (e.g., 3-10 Hz) to speed up the treatment and cover more ground in less time.
For small or sensitive areas like the face or bikini line, you would opt for a lower frequency (e.g., 1-3 Hz) to maintain precision and minimize heat build-up, ensuring patient safety and comfort.
On the Motus AY machine, adjust the frequency based on the area you are treating and the client's sensitivity to heat. It's crucial to monitor skin reaction, especially at higher frequencies, and use the integrated cooling system to mitigate discomfort.
