Face & Body Lifting with Superpulse RF Technology
Radiofrequency for Non-Surgical
Face Lifting
Radiofrequency (RF)
technology is highly sought after for its skin
firming properties. Useful for face and body
lifting, the treatment can stimulate skin
remodeling by the immediate contraction of
existing collagen and the resultant production
of new collagen. Depending on
the technical specifications of the specific RF
device, the treatment varies according to:
-
Temperature: comfortable
warmth or extreme heat
-
Pain: minimal to
excruciating (requiring nerve blocks and/or
sedation)
-
Results: immediate or
slow change over months
-
Number of treatments:
single or course
-
Duration of Effects:
hours, days, months or longer?
-
Risk of Burns or
Fat/Muscle Necrosis
-
Versatility: any other
treatment benefits?
We have taken all the above
factors into consideration when we chose the RF
machine to purchase. We have chosen a device
which is comfortably warm during the treatment.
No sedation or pain relief is needed. The
results are immediate and progressively longer
lasting with treatment. A course of 6 is
recommended, at fortnightly intervals.
Maintenance is just once in 6-12 months
subsequently.
Importantly, there is no risk
of fat or muscle necrosis (pain is a good sign
that the treatment is too intense, so we back
off immediately should there be too much
discomfort).
The device is also extremely
versatile, offering the following benefits:
-
Face Lifting & Contouring
-
Rejuvenation (Improve
Skin Texture)
-
Reduction of Large
Open Skin
Pores
-
Evacuation of Blackheads
& Whiteheads (without extraction)
-
Reduction of Wrinkle
Depth & Length
-
Eye Rejuvenation: reduce
wrinkles, fine lines, loose skin
-
Fat Melting
-
Skin Firming: Upper Arms,
Abdomen, Neck
-
Vaginal Tightening
(non-surgical)

Superpulse
RF Technology
RF devices provide RF
energy, which does not scatter or get
absorbed during the transmission through
tissue. When compared to light and/or laser
energies, RF can penetrate deep into dermis
with minimal heat sensation on the surface.
RF energy causes ionic agitation and
increases the tissue temperature.
The boundaries of the
treated tissue and its surrounding are
obvious because of the highly precise nature
of RF technology, which can be enhanced by
electrode design, power setting, pulsing
technique and pulse modification. RF energy
causes the skin to shrink and contract
when heated.
The most advanced RF-based
systems have been designed for the
treatments of various skin problems in
dermatology and plastic surgery. They have
been used to restructure the dermal collagen
by transmitting heat created from RF energy
to dermis. To avoid any epidermal damage,
various skin cooling techniques have been
applied. Non-ablative RF (NARF) is the term
used for such method of RF base technology
for skin rejuvenation and skin tightening
goals.
SuperpulseRF™ is used for dermal skin heating
with sparing of the epidermis due to the train
of pulses with each pulse width shorter than
skin thermal relaxation time. This will result
in non- ablative skin tightening and lifting
without the necessity of cryogen spray.
The technology works in two ways:
-
Heat
generated by RF waves shinks the bundle of
collagen under the skin. The collagen becomes
shorter and the skin tightens.
-
The second phase
begins as the body responds. The collagen
will be gradually healed, renewed and even
more collagen will be produced. The skin
tightens and overall look is improved.
