When using the jog mode ("CONTINUAL"):
Only step on the foot switch as long as you want to op-
E
erate the handpiece.
6.4 Setting the penetration frequency
CAUTION
Danger of injury due to the penetration frequency
being too high
If the penetration frequency is too high the skin can be
cut
Always start with a low puncture frequency, eg. 100
E
punctures per second.
Select the penetration frequency on the basis of the
E
patient's skin characteristics and suitable for the
working speed.
The preset penetration frequency is 120 penetrations per
second. The controller automatically resets to this preset
penetration frequency every time it is switched on. The pen-
etration frequency can be 11 stages of 100-150 penetra-
tions per second.
The number of penetrations per second shown on the dis-
play may deviate by ±10 % in stationary operation from the
value that actually occurs at the handpiece.
To set a suitable penetration frequency:
Ensure that the controller is switched to operating mode

mode or standby mode" on page 42)

6.5 Setting the needle protrusion depth
CAUTION
Danger of injury due to excessive needle protrusion
depth
Greater needle protrusion depth allows a greater penet-
ration depth. If the needle protrusion depth and penetra-
tion depth are too great, the risk of side effects, such as
haematoma, erythema or oedema, increases (see chapter
"2.4.2 Side effects" on page 34).
Choose the needle protrusion depth depending on
E
the skin condition of the patient, the area of the skin
to be treated and the pressure applied.
The needle protrusion depth shown on the scale may
E
deviate by ±0.15 mm from the actual value.
The moving part of the handpiece is labelled with a scale,
which indicates the needle protrusion depth setting. The
needle protrusion depth can be adjusted between 0 mm
and 1.9 mm.
Switch the controller to operating mode.
E
Switch the handpiece on.
E
Set the needle protrusion depth by turning the moving
E
part of the handpiece (1). Use the scale as a guide and
turn it until the marker (2) is at the desired position.
Turning it clockwise (when looking at the needles) in-
creases the needle protrusion depth.
Clinical studies by MT.DERM have shown that the decisive
factor in effective acne scar treatment is the induction of
so-called pinpoint bleeding. Treatment should be started
with the smallest possible needle protrusion depth with the
depth being successively increased until pinpoint bleeding
occurs. As soon as point bleeding occurs in the treated
area, treatment should be switched to the next area.
