Thermal Monopolar Uses monopolar radiofrequency technology to heat the deep, collagen-rich layers of the skin. The applied heat separates the water molecules from the fibrous collagen, causing an immediate contraction, resulting in skin tightening.
This is a noninvasive nonablative device that uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to bulk heat underneath the skin while protecting the epidermis to produce skin tightening. It is used for the treatment of rhytids on the face including the periorbital region and lower face, and more recently, for off-face applications.
It also can help impart mild tightening of periorbital mid, and lower facial laxity. Other radiofrequency devices have also shown objective improvements in cellulite of the buttocks and thigh regions. The treatment is an efficacious and safe nonsurgical alternative for treating mild skin laxity.
This is a unique heating technology to help renew your natural collagen, Monopolar radio frequency is used to go deep down into the dermis to heat the collagen and produce a 3 demensional tightening by contracting the existing collagen and renew and help produce new collagen.
Radiofrequency technology provides a viable, noninvasive treatment alternative for mild tissue laxity of the periorbital region, nasolabial folds, jowls, and marionette lines, as well as the possibility of tightening on the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.
In addition, it may improve the appearance of acne scars and improve acne.23, 24
Although RF does not improve laxity to the same degree as surgery, it does have the advantage of avoiding surgery-associated recovery time and potential downtime.
