High Power Ultrasound

Ultrasound at frequencies of 3.3MHz and 1.1MHz, which allows efficient treatment even in thicker adipose tissue. It has 3 ultrasound emitters with ERA – effective radiation area – of 8cm² (totaling 24cm²), with 24W each and maximum output power of 72W, promoting greater therapeutic effect and shorter session time.

The Heccus Turbo also features continuous, pulsed and superpulsed modes, in addition to a light and ergonomic transducer. And it associates thermal and mechanical effects, which produce vasodilation and increase in tissue viscoelasticity, cavitation, signal mechanotransduction, lipolysis, angiogenesis, thixotropic effect, among others. In this modality, only the ultrasound transducer and gel with or without actives are used.

Aussie current

Aussie is a burst modulated medium frequency alternating therapeutic current. It offers two frequency possibilities: 1KHz and 4KHz, which allows selection of the frequency according to the therapeutic objective, with 1KHz for muscle strengthening and toning, while the frequency of 4KHz for lymphatic drainage and analgesia.

The Aussie current features continuous, synchronous, sequential and reciprocal output modes, in addition to a short duration burst (2ms in 1KHz current and 4ms in 4KHz current), which makes the stimulation provided more efficient compared to other therapeutic electrical currents.

In this modality, the Heccus Turbo allows static technique with electrodes (8 output channels) or dynamic technique (via transducer), depending on the treatment protocol chosen.

Polarized Current

Polarized is a single-phase pulsed current that flows in only one direction. Its therapeutic application is intended for dynamic and static iontophoresis (permeation of assets through electrorepulsion) associated with the polar effects of current. The current contemplates positive and negative mode.

In this modality, Heccus Turbo allows static technique with electrodes (2 output channels) or dynamic technique (via transducer and dispersive electrode), depending on the treatment protocol chosen.

High Volt Current

High Volt current, also known as high-voltage pulsed current (CPAV), or high-voltage electrical stimulation (HEAV), is a current with twin pulses of high amplitude and short duration. Its waveform is single-phase (current flows in only one direction). The high voltage causes a decrease in skin resistance, making the current comfortable and tolerable. It offers both continuous and synchronous output modes.

In this modality, the Heccus Turbo allows static technique with electrodes (2 output channels) or dynamic technique (via transducer and dispersive electrode), depending on the treatment protocol chosen.

Three-dimensional sonophoresis

This therapeutic modality combines high power ultrasound with Aussie current in the same therapy time.

When selecting the desired protocol, simply select the value corresponding to the number of applicators that fit in the region to be treated and the calculation of the treatment time is automatically given by the equipment. To calculate the ultrasound intensity, simply measure the fat layer using an adipometer and enter the value in centimeters on the screen. The adjustment of ultrasound intensity and ultrasound mode (continuous or pulsed) is automatic.

In this mode, only the transducer and neutral or active conductive gel are used.

Sonoiontophoresis

This therapeutic modality associates high power ultrasound with polarized current in the same therapy time.

When selecting the desired protocol, simply select the value corresponding to the number of applicators that fit in the region to be treated and the calculation of the treatment time is automatically given by the equipment. To calculate the ultrasound intensity, simply measure the fat layer using an adipometer and enter the value in centimeters on the screen. The adjustment of ultrasound intensity and ultrasound mode (continuous or pulsed) is automatic. The product polarity must also be set to P+ or P-.

In this mode, the transducer, conductive gel with actives of defined polarity, yellow dispersive cable, aluminum plate electrode with vegetable cloth and alligator clip adapter are used.

Sonoelectroporation

This therapeutic modality associates high power ultrasound with High Volt current in the same therapy time.

When selecting the desired protocol, simply select the value corresponding to the number of applicators that fit in the region to be treated and the calculation of the treatment time is automatically given by the equipment. To calculate the ultrasound intensity, simply measure the fat layer using an adipometer and enter the value in centimeters on the screen. The adjustment of ultrasound intensity and ultrasound mode (continuous or pulsed) is automatic.

In this mode, the transducer, conductive gel with actives, yellow dispersive cable, aluminum plate electrode with vegetable cloth and alligator clip adapter are used.

The application of treatments should only be done by qualified and duly qualified professionals.

What are the power modes of the Heccus Turbo?

The Heccus Turbo allows multiple therapy combinations: three-dimensional sonophoresis (ultrasound + Aussie current), sonoelectroporation (ultrasound + High Volt current) and sonoiontophoresis (ultrasound + polarized current).

Is it possible to achieve results even in patients with greater thickness of adipose tissue?

The Heccus Turbo brings ultrasound at frequencies of 3.3MHz and 1.1MHz, which is directly related to the depth of action. As the adipose tissue thickness is adjusted in the “Adipometer” parameter on the screen, Heccus Turbo automatically selects the best treatment frequency for the therapeutic objective.

What is the effect of the superpulsed mode in the treatment of localized fat?

The superpulsed mode combines the effects of cavitation with the heat of high power and the effect of acoustic shock waves. This sum favors the emulsification of fats in the adipocyte, inducing apoptosis and making the treatment more efficient.

How is it possible to calculate the session time through the transducer?

Just as the conventional Heccus uses the time calculation by measuring the area to be treated (area in cm²/ERA), the Heccus Turbo uses the area of ​​the transducer itself to calculate the time. The application time parameter is adjusted following the calculation: measurement of the applicator area = 100cm² divided by 24 (size of the effective area of ​​ultrasound radiation), totaling 4 minutes of application per physical area of ​​the applicator.

Then, measure with the transducer itself and press the corresponding number on the screen, and the equipment will program the time. This results in less time to prepare for the session.

How do I calculate the optimal ultrasound intensity for my treatment?

To calculate the ultrasound intensity, the “Adipometer” parameter must be adjusted. With the help of an adipometer, measure your patient’s treatment area and enter the value obtained in centimeters on the “Data entry” sub-screen (maximum value = 4.5 cm). The adjustment of the ultrasound intensity and the ultrasound mode (continuous or pulsed) will be done automatically.

What do I find on the “Info” screen?

On the “Info” button, you will find an informative tutorial for each treatment protocol, images and precise information on how to use the equipment in each protocol. In addition, of course, to clear, quick and functional information for the therapist, optimizing the use of the equipment and promoting improved results.

When can I use the remote control that comes with the equipment?

The remote control is an auxiliary device that allows starting (Start) and stopping (Stop) the combined therapy and adjustment of the current intensity during the session, in the following modalities: three-dimensional sonophoresis (ultrasound + Aussie), sonoiotophoresis (ultrasound + polarized) and sonoelectroporation (ultrasound + High Volt).

What can I do to prevent the head from overheating?

During treatment, the gel tends to dehydrate, making the passage of ultrasonic energy difficult, especially in large areas and high powers. This can raise the internal temperature of the transducer. To prevent this from happening, spray water over the gel during treatment and add gel to the area being treated.

However, if the temperature reaches the safety limit (41°C), the equipment cuts off the ultrasound emission and freezes the timer. On the display, an image appears showing excess temperature and the equipment beeps during the entire time that the equipment is not emitting.

Spray water over the gel and continue with the treatment movement, this helps the temperature to drop more quickly. Only when the temperature returns below 41°C, the ultrasound is emitted again. Increase the current dose again to continue the treatment.
