Focused ultrasoundEnergy placed at selected tissue depths
Ultrasound platforms differ in imaging, cartridges, delivery modes and authorized areas. Model and depth matter more than a headline shot count.
Guides in this group- Ulthera Prime
- Shurink
- TheFact Lifting
Ask: What exact model, cartridge depth and anatomical target are proposed?
Radiofrequency platformsControlled heating with different applicators
Monopolar RF and multi-handpiece platforms are not one treatment. Invasiveness, suction, needles and target tissue must be named.
Guides in this groupAsk: Which tip or handpiece is used, and is the plan skin-directed or contour-directed?
Resurfacing and pigmentWavelength and depth define the treatment
Fractional resurfacing, low-fluence toning and ablative CO2 have different targets, recovery and pigment risks despite all being called laser care.
Guides in this group- Fraxel Laser
- Laser Toning
- CO2 Laser
Ask: What diagnosis, wavelength and degree of surface disruption are expected?
Selective removalTarget ink or hair across a staged course
Tattoo pigment and hair follicles require different wavelengths and intervals. Skin tone, target color and healing determine the plan.
Guides in this group- Laser Tattoo Removal
- Laser Hair Removal
Ask: Does the available laser match the target color and my skin response profile?
Microwave contouringSeparate localized fullness from skin laxity
ONDA handpieces are designed for different depths and applications. A fat-directed plan should never be assumed suitable for a thin face.
Guides in this groupAsk: Is the target localized fat, cellulite or firmness, and which handpiece addresses it?
Named treatmentsVerify product and technology before consent
Some menu names do not reveal a standardized protocol. Elavity requires product-level thread confirmation; AIRJET requires the exact material and purpose.
Guides in this groupAsk: Can the clinic show the manufacturer, model or product, material and authorized purpose?
