What is Radio Frequency (RF) technology and how does it work?
Radio Frequency (RF), in the context of aesthetic applications, is a method for heating the deep layers of the skin, creating the desired clinical effect, by delivering High Frequency (HF) electrical current via poles/electrodes applied to the skin. When High Frequency RF is delivered, the skin cells interpret it as an energy source warming the cells from within. The layers of skin act like resistors in response to the HF Radio Frequency. The cells’ resistance vary based on their structure, type and location. The extent to which the cells heat up depends on their resistance and the method of RF delivery. 2. What is TriPollar™ RF technology TriPollarTM, patent pending technology, is the 3rd generation of RF energy, the most advanced form of RF delivery available. TriPollar™ technology directs the RF current from the four electrodes towards the skin’s layers to control and limit the penetration and depth of the heating mechanism to the desired treatment area.
