Required Results
Adverse Reaction
Pigmented
Lesions
If redness* or darkening of the
lesion is observed, but not
redness of the surrounding
tissue, then the energy level is
appropriate.
Vascular
Lesions
If the lesion becomes more
apparent, the energy level is
appropriate for treatment.
Some redness may also be
observed in the surrounding
skin, this is normal.
•
Redness that lasts
more than 20 minutes
after the pulse.
•
Blistering
•
Burning sensation that
lasts more than an
hour or two
•
Crusting of skin tissue
beyond the lesion itself
Fine Lines
If mild redness appears on the
skin and quickly disappears
after the test, the energy level
is appropriate for treatment.
•
Redness that lasts
more than 20 minutes
after the pulse.
•
Blistering
•
Burning sensation that
lasts more than an
hour or two
* Redness should be subtle and diffuse, not reflecting the shape of
the lamp opening.
If the required result is not observed immediately following or within 24
hours after the test, you have not yet reached the optimum level for the
treatment area. There is no need for further testing. As you begin
treatment, continue to raise the energy level by increments of 5 until
the required results are observed. This often means raising the level
above those recommended in the table.
If at any point there is an adverse reaction, lower the energy level to
the next highest level that did not cause an adverse effect. Resume
treatment only after the skin has completely healed.
