Domande frequenti
How do I choose which aesthetic treatment to offer?
Consider your target clients, existing treatment menu, local demand, available equipment, operator requirements, treatment costs, and applicable local regulations.
Can different technologies provide similar aesthetic treatments?
Yes. For example, skin tightening may involve HIFU, radiofrequency, or RF microneedling. However, these technologies work differently and should not be considered interchangeable.
How do I choose the right machine for a treatment?
First understand the treatment goal and relevant technologies. Then compare equipment specifications, configuration, consumables, training requirements, warranty, technical support, and total cost of ownership.
For equipment selection, visit our Buying Guides.
Are treatment protocols the same for every machine?
No. Treatment parameters and protocols can vary by technology, machine model, handpiece, treatment area, client characteristics, and other factors.
Operators should follow the instructions and training applicable to their specific equipment.
Where can I find treatment protocols and parameter guides?
Selected educational information is available in our Treatment Guides. Detailed machine-specific protocols and parameter reference guides may be available through our Training Resources for applicable Mico Aes equipment.
