Tri Polar RF

What is Tri-Polar RF Technology?

Tri-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) Technology is an innovative, superior 3rd generation RF technology. Tri-Polar has all the benefits of prior RF technologies and overcomes the limitations of previous Mono-Polar (Thermage) and Bi-Polar modalities. Simple to use and extremely efficient Tri-Polar treatments deliver immediate visible facial and body contouring effects from the first treatment and long lasting aesthetic results without surgery or downtime.

How does Tri-Polar RF work?

The state-of-the-art Tri-Polar system delivers focused and optimal radio frequency energy to the skin and subcutaneous fat layers without damaging healthy tissues. Controlled energy is focused and delivered via three electrodes, and limited only to the treatment area. The radio frequency energy stimulates fibroblasts, contracts collagen fibres, and augments collagen regeneration. It also treats superficial and deeper fat layers and shrinks fat cells. The dual benefits of Tri-Polar radio frequency treatments are both immediate and long-lasting for skin tightening and circumference reduction.

What indications are treated with Tri-Polar RF?

• Facial and body skin tightening
• Non-surgical face lifting
• Collagen reformation and rejuvenation
• Body slimming, shaping, sculpting
• Cellulite reduction
• Acne treatment

What are the advantages of Tri-Polar RF technology?

• Non-surgical and non-invasive
• Fast, visible, and long-lasting results
• No discomfort
• Treats all skin types
• No patient downtime
• Lower treatment cost than previous RF technologies

How is Tri-Polar RF different from Thermage and Bi-Polar technologies?

The first generation of RF technology, known as Thermage, used one electrode to deliver electrical energy and a return pad connected to the body to close the electrical circuit. The electrical current had to pass through a large part of the body and flow through the vascular system so that there was no control over penetration depth.

The second generation, Bi-Polar technology, used two electrodes, with the current flowing between the two. This confined the treatment area somewhat, but still didn't achieve effective focus. Since both Mono-Polar and Bi-Polar RF technologies are not focused, both usually require much higher energy to achieve clinical results. This high energy heats the skin that is near the electrodes. This causes pain and a higher risk of burns and skin damage. In addition, these older technologies required cooling mechanisms to mitigate these risks, which resulted in less efficient heating of the skin layers.

How does it help in collagen regeneration and wrinkle, sagginess reduction?

The elastic fibres of the skin, collagen and elastin are produced by fibroblasts. As the fibres are heated, they contract and collagen strands are pulled closer resulting in immediately tightened skin. The deep heating effect in turn accelerates collagen regeneration over the full treatment course. The desired result: tighter, younger looking skin immediately, and long-term skin remodelling.

How does it help in fat reduction/body contouring?

Since fat cells are more resistant to high frequency electrical current than other skin cells, they heat up more quickly. This heating effect is useful in shrinking fat cells for body contouring. Heating the fat cells accelerates fat metabolism and cause fat cells to shrink. The rise in temperature forces fat cells to secrete fatty acids (liquid fat), which is disposed of via the blood and lymph system. The desired results: fat and circumference reduction and improved cellulite appearance.

How is the Safety profile?

Radio Frequency has been known in medicine for over 30 years. It is particularly suitable for aesthetic applications since the heat is treated by body cells as an energy source. In aesthetic applications it is applied to the skin via electrodes to heat the deep layers of the skin without burning epidermis or top layer of the skin. Hence it is considered to be one of the safest treatments.

Does it require cooling during treatments?

More efficient than other radio frequency treatments, Tri-Polar technology's uniqueness and sophistication prevents overheating and eliminates the need for skin and applicator cooling. This means safer, more efficient continuous heating, shorter treatment duration and less treatment sessions.

What body areas can be treated?

Tri-Polar technology enables treatment of fine lines and very delicate areas of the face that have never been fully treated before without causing damage or pain. These include areas around the lips and around the eyes. It is also safe for the treatment of excess fat and body contouring. The treatment is painless and pleasant even performed on sensitive areas with sagging and loose skin such as the inner thighs and arms. This treatment is suitable for patients following pregnancy, liposuction or dramatic weight loss who have excessive loose skin.

Cavitation

What is Cavitation?

Cavitation is one of the new methods and is among the most effective in aesthetics. The trapped fat is liquefied using a physical phenomenon known as cavitation. Cavitation is used to treat cellulite and to remove extra fat. After a session liquefied fat cells are expelled through the urinary tract and with the help of massage they are eliminated via lymphatic drainage system. The damage caused by the implosion is limited to fat cells and no other tissues or organs are damaged, making the aesthetic cavitation process safe.
