Diagnosis: ACNE- For Clinical research only
Pretreatment: Female patient with a long history of acne. Cluster probe was used for whole treatment with 5 points treated - two minutes per point. The pulsing frequencies ranged between 2.5, 10 and 20 Hz. Before and after picture shows patient after only two treatments over a one-week period.
