RADIOFREQUENCY (RF)

Radiofrequency (RF) therapy, also called radiofrequency skin tightening, is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin and cellulite treatment. The procedure involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis. This heat stimulates the production of  collagen.

Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness.

  • RF energy is emitted at the end of fractional RF micro-needle; this will treat target area – deeper dermis – without damage of epidermis.
  • The fractional RF is useful for minimal invasive epidermal rejuvenation.
  • RF energy does not target pigment-making cells in the skin.
  • It cures and improves wrinkle, scar, skin rejuvenation, and skin tightening safely and efficiently with minimized PIH,using RF energy.

Treatment advantage

  1. Micro needle RF is for invasive treatment.
  2. An effective and direct thermal stimulation for remodeling collagen with less damage on epidermis
  3. Stepping motor driven mechanism enables to control penetration depth precisely and accurately
  4. Micro needle delivers RF directly to target area and reforms collagen and elastin effectively without any energy loss like laser treatment
  5. Micro Needle RF penetrates target area from epidermis to dermis without energy loss and stimulate disordered collagen in order to remodel it efficiently.

Radiofrequency (RF) therapy exploits the production of heat in skin tissue resulting from the application of an electromagnetic field onto the skin.

Tissue treated by ablative RF is destroyed, whereas tissue treated by non-ablative RF is not destroyed.

The most well-known application of ablative RF involves its being used as a radio scalpel, which permits the destruction of a limited volume of skin in a controlled and reproducible manner.

The so-called “aesthetic” effects of RF refer to the thermal damaging of collagen, which consequently breaks intermolecular bonds, thus producing a stoichiometric rearrangement of surface and deep fibers (shrinkage).

RF treatment is indicated for skin laxity of the face and body, and has been recently indicated for the cellulite treatment and wrinkles.

Collateral effects of RF treatment are rare, but when they do occur they take the form of skin redness and micro-burns.

RF treatment has evolved a “fractional” form of RF treatment, so called because it is analogous in some ways to treatment with a fractional laser.

Fractional RF treatment is characterized by the production of very short, high-intensity electrical discharges at an adjustable frequency of repetition.

Fractional RF uses a handset composed of a series of micro-needles, which can vary in number from 5 to 225, and produce a series of “micro-damaged” heat points on/in the skin that initiate the regenerative process.

As in the case of non-fractional RF, fractional RF can also have side effects, which are characterized by burn points that heal within 5–7 days.

 

Contraindications:

  • RF treatment is indicated for skin laxity of the face and body, and has been recently indicated for the treatment of cellulite and wrinkles.
  • Collateral effects of RF treatment are rare, but when they do occur they take the form of skin redness and micro-burns.
