Radio Frequency Machine for face and body

What is it?
Radiofrequency is a technique used in aesthetic medicine to combat flaccidity and cellulite, which consists of the application of electromagnetic radiation that causes the different layers of the skin to heat up. The technology that uses this method is able to reach deeper layers of the dermis while protecting the epidermis during treatment.

Radiofrequency produces the retraction of collagen and aging fibers of the skin to give rise to the formation of new fibers.

Effects of radiofrequency
The heating produced by electromagnetic relations influences the subcutaneous fatty tissue, that is, it acts from within the skin, which produces benefits such as:

Formation and restructuring of new collagen: The objective of the treatment is to achieve the gradual formation and restructuring of the new collagen arising from the deep layers by retracting the old one, which causes the tissue to acquire firmness and elasticity while promoting homeostasis.

Promotes blood circulation: Electromagnetic waves increase circulation in the area under treatment.

Lymphatic drainage: With drainage, fluids, and toxins that reside in the tissue that suffers from cellulite decrease.

Fibroblast migration: Fibroblasts are the cells of the dermis responsible for the secretion of elastin and collagen fibers, so their migration reinforces the structure of the latter.

How is the treatment?
The procedure consists of giving electromagnetic discharges through a treatment head that continuously moves over the area to be treated. The duration depends on the degree of flaccidity and cellulite that you want to combat and the area : sessions in areas such as the arms usually last between 25 and 30 minutes, while other longer ones, such as the cartridge belts, can last up to an hour. . The number of sessions also depends on the degree of flaccidity and the area: normally between 4 and 6 are needed for facials and between 6 and 10 for body treatments.

After the treatment it is necessary to keep the treated area protected from the sun; In addition, it is highly recommended to hydrate. The treatment does not usually cause pain, so it is performed without anesthesia, although there are a number of side effects that it is convenient to know:

Transient swelling and redness, which appear after the session and disappear over time.
Bruising, although it does not occur frequently.
In addition, the treatment is contraindicated in some cases such as pregnancy and lactation; in people with metal prostheses, pacemakers, and other devices; serious cardiovascular pathologies; neuromuscular diseases; cancer; people who suffer from impaired coagulation and people who are overweight.

Types of a radiofrequency applicator
There are two ways of using radiofrequency depending on the device (applicator) used. Each applicator acts on an area of the skin, that is, its function depends on the degree of depth in the skin that it achieves:

Bipolar : The electric field is located between two electrodes that are applied to the area to be treated. It acts or produces heat on the superficial layer of the skin.
Unipolar : Emits energy through a single electrode. It acts on the adipose tissue in deeper areas of the dermis. (RF Radio Frequency Ultrasonic Cavitation)
