The treatment begins with applying gel to the skin for comfort and to facilitate the ultrasound. The practitioner performs small movements with the handpiece, ensuring not to treat directly on the bone. After completing the treatment at one depth, the practitioner switches to a different transducer for the next depth and repeats the process on the same areas. After treatment, the patient's skin may show mild pinkness, and aftercare instructions are provided.

Imagine a scenario where a person is using Celluma light therapy for acne treatment but is not seeing any improvement. What could be a potential reason for this lack of effectiveness?
The lack of improvement could be due to the light source being positioned too far from the skin, reducing the tissue's ability to absorb the light energy effectively.
t or f In the Myolift video we learn Stretching the muscles with the erase waveform helps to soften fine lines and wrinkles, whereas the educate waveform focuses on shortening the muscles to enhance volume.
t
t or f The distance of the light source from the skin is crucial during LED therapy because each time the distance is doubled, the tissue's ability to absorb light energy diminishes by four times. At about 2 to 3 inches away from the skin, absorption becomes negligible, making it essential to keep the light source to the skin for effective energy absorption.
