Cellulite RF

What is Radio frequency?

Radio frequency is the number of oscillations (or waves) per second of the electric and magnetic fields within the radio waves portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Radio frequency (RF) technology as a new technology applied in skin rejuvenation especially in wrinkle treatment. (How it works).

With recent developments in cryogenics (the use of extremely cold substances) and information technology, non-ablative RF energy is the newest addition to the treatment options available for the ageing face. With the introduction of cryogenics it is possible to deliver RF energy to the deep dermis and sub-dermal layers of the skin, whilst protecting the epidermis. Heating in this area, without damaging the outer layers of skin, causes microscopic changes to the tissues and collagen contraction, with subsequent collagen remodelling over the months that pass.

What is MONOPOLAR?

Monopolar or unipolar refers to a device having one pole or electrode.

With Monopolar delivery, the current from the generating machine flows through the body from a single electrode (hand piece) and meets maximum resistance in the area around the tip of the hand piece, where tissue heating in the sub dermal layers then occurs. Grounding, or “return pad” may also be used, attached to the patient's lower back or abdomen, to provide a low resistance path for the current to flow back to the generating machine, to complete the electrical circuit.

What is BIPOLAR?

Bipolar refers to a device having two poles or electrodes.

With bipolar delivery, the current from the generating machine flows only through the tissue which is between the two electrodes on the hand piece; these electrodes start and complete the electrical circuit. Hence, with bipolar delivery, no current flows through the rest of the body, so no grounding or return pad is needed.
