How do I clean an IPL crystal properly?
Debris on a crystal heats up during a pulse, causing a ""thermal crack"". Once cracked, the handpiece is dead. The Protocol: Fold clean lens paper. Apply one drop of high-grade methanol or 90%+ ethanol. Wipe in one direction only. Check under magnification.
When should I replace flashlamps?
Do not wait for the ""Replace Lamp"" warning. Efficiency drops after 80% of max shot count. Replace lamps when fluence efficiency drops below 95% to ensure clinical efficacy.
