3. DESCRIPTION
Radiofrecuency is a technology widely used in medicine, and in the last few years, in aesthetics too.
FRAXFACE uses bipolar and fractioned RF, producing both dermic and epidermic effects on small
micro-metric sectors of the skin, leaving small gaps unscathed, which will be responsable of skin
regeneration and collagen stimulation. This produces visible results on the skin tone, brightness
and texture, on superficial scars, pores, stains and fine lines, and its general aspect.
FRAXFACE consists of a RF generator that transmits trough an amplifier to a tip that has 64 micro-
metric points of contact with the skin. These points interact with the cutaneous tissue, producing
thermal effects, coagulation, and micro-ablation, depending on the power utilized. The tissue
surrounding each of these points remains unscathed. Tips are of one use only, and must be
discarded.
Pulses generated with FRAXFACE are highly stable both in intensity and time, allowing total control
on energy discharges on the skin, completely eliminating the risk of damaged tissue. Pulses can be
adjusted in power according to skin type, skin issue, personal tolerance, or profesional indication.
FRAXFACE can be used all over the body, although is most used on face, neck, hands and cleavage.
Treatment is totally tolerable, with moderate discomfort.
On the following pages, useful information will be found in order to use the product in the most
appropriate way. It is advised to read thoughtfully these instructions before using FRAXFACE.
Information should be conserved in case any future consult is required.
It should be noticed that FRAXFACE must be used exclusively according to its conforming use.
FRAXFACE must be used only at authorized centers that comply all local and international current
laws.

NOTE: It is not necessary to use maximum power to achieve better results, but the right power
depending on the problem to be treated, the sensitivity and characteristics of the skin and the
indication of the professional.
The equipment detects the contact with the skin so that in case the contact with the patient is not
adequate, the equipment does not emit RF energy and sends an error message and an audible
signal.
The equipment does not perform multiple shots, until the trigger is released again.
6. CLINICAL GUIDE
The information provided in this section is not intended to cover all problems and / or prevail over
the knowledge and experience of the operator.
The operator must ensure that the patient to be treated does not present any
contraindication.
The appearance of adverse effects can occur during or immediately after the application of RF.
Page 14 of 26
USER’S MANUAL – FRAXFACE
Scars
Red hair
After the treatment edema or erythema is likely to appear in the treated area. The edema generally
disappears after a few hours, while the erythema may persist for more than 24 hours.
The degree of response to treatment, and the number of treatment sessions required will vary
between patients and will depend on the clinical and physiological condition at the beginning of the
treatment.
After the treatment and during healing, small spots (scabs) may form in the treatment area,
especially at the points of contact between the microelectrodes and the skin. These scabs disappear
by natural exfoliation
6.3 PRE-TREATMENT
6.3.1 FIRST CONSULTATION
The first visit of any patient should be devoted to analyze treatment possibilities, evaluate
contraindications and perform a test to define optimal treatment parameters and decide if the
patient is an appropriate candidate for treatment.
After the initial visit of the patient, professionals should follow these steps during a consultation
meeting:
Avoid skin irritation or sun exposure and the use of any topical irritant for at least 2 to 3
days before the session.
Signature of the patient in a consent form that includes all the information above.
Determine a treatment schedule.
Take photos, etc.
Page 15 of 26
USER’S MANUAL – FRAXFACE
Establish whether the client is an appropriate candidate for treatment (evaluating the skin
response, tolerance to treatment and expected results).
Offer the client the opportunity to experience the FRAXFACE treatment.
Find the correct parameters according to the tolerance of the patient and test the
application technique (Consult the application technique).
Minimization of possibilities of adverse effects.
NOTE: For phototypes I, II and III, wait at least 48 hours to evaluate the skin's response. For
phototypes IV, V, and VI, wait a week to evaluate the skin's response.
Phototypes V and VI are generally more sensitive to treatment. Lower energy levels must be
used.
The area to be treated should be free of hairs. This can affect the contact of the skin's
microelectrode and could cause burns.
Clean the area to be treated with water and neutral soap. Dry the area well.
If you wish, you can use local topical water-based anesthesia to reduce the pain of the procedure.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
If you have used anesthesia, wash the area to be treated with water and neutral soap and dry the
area thoroughly.
When the skin is clean, sterilize the area with 70% alcohol.
Place the tip (tip) on the handpiece and make sure it is firmly placed.
Areas of metal dental implants (such as braces, ferrules and crowns) may be more sensitive to RF
energy. In that case, the operator can isolate the area with gauze and dental rolls.
Place the applicator on the skin and emit a single RF pulse by pressing the push button on the
handpiece. Wait about 10 minutes or until the pattern appears, whichever comes first..
If the pattern does not appear, increase the energy, and emit a single pulse adjacent to the previous
one.
The appropriate point is when a pattern corresponding to the tip matrix appears accompanied by
erythema and edema.
Page 16 of 26
USER’S MANUAL – FRAXFACE
Set the parameters (energy) of treatment according to the results of the test.
Place the tip (applicable part) so that it makes contact with the skin on its entire surface and then
press the trigger, you will hear a beep indicating that an RF pulse has been released. Release the
trigger and repeat the operation in an adjacent area
With your free hand you can help tense the skin to facilitate the application of pulses.
After 8 or 10 shots, it is recommended to clean the surface of the tip with dry gauze to prevent the
deposit of carbonized tissue (black).
Make sure that the pin has not been damaged or a pin is missing. In which case you must replace it
immediately.
Do not repeat the procedure, in some skins it may take time to observe the erythema.
If the patient has any sensation of heat cold cloths, cold bags (not frozen) or refreshing aloe vera
gel can be used.
In the following days small scabs may appear in the area of contact between the tip and the
epidermis (normal effect). It is important to warn the patient to avoid scratching or touching the
scabs. These disappear after a few days by natural exfoliation.
The evaluation of the patient is recommended within 72 hours after the session.
Page 17 of 26
USER’S MANUAL – FRAXFACE
It is suggested:
Do not perform more than 5 sessions, until evaluating the final result of the treatment. The
final result of the treatment must be evaluated between 60 and 90 days after the end of the
last session.
7. MAINTENANCE
NOTA: It is the responsibility of the user to comply with the information provided in this section
The procedures detailed below must be performed by the operator. For other maintenance or
repair, contact technical support or an authorized maintenance representative.
