DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES FOR MAXIMUM EFFECTIVENESS
Equipment designed to treat various facial and body aesthetic conditions.
The techniques available to the team are: Monopolar Capacitive Radiofrequency, Monopolar Resistive Radiofrequency, Bipolar Radiofrequency, LEDs.
RADIOFREQUENCY.
Radiofrequency diathermy is a safe method that works on all layers of the skin to revitalize it naturally.
Radiofrequency is electromagnetic radiation that is converted into thermal energy.
There are therefore two mechanisms for heat production:
• Due to the Joule effect, caused by the electrical resistance of the fabric to current conduction.
• By absorption of electromagnetic radiation, due to molecular structures. Rotational movement of water molecules produces a mechanical friction effect that is transformed into heat.
The frequency of radiofrequency emissions influences, at higher frequencies (shorter wavelengths), with lower penetrability. In addition, the effect generated by the passage of electromagnetic radiation in the form of radiofrequency in the body's surface tissues depends on its frequency.
HOW HEAT IS GENERATED
There are two ways to generate heat depending on the method of application and the mechanism we use to do so.
Capacitive Diathermy (metal electrode covered with an insulator)
This insulator causes the current to constantly change polarity, with heat being generated mainly by the friction of bipolar molecules. Water is the substance in the body that has the most dipolar molecules, so the current acts on tissues with the highest water content, mainly muscular and vascular.
Water molecules have a dipolar structure. When exposed to the capacitive field generated by a capacitor, they move toward it due to attraction.
For example, a high-frequency (radiofrequency) alternating current circuit of 0.5 MHz changes polarity half a million times per second, producing dipolar rotation of water at the same frequency. This constant and rapid movement generates heat and increases the temperature inside the body.
Resistive Diathermy (uncoated metal electrode)
The current enters the body more directly. In this case, the temperature increases in tissues with higher electrical resistance, such as adipose tissue. The resistance of fat is about ten times higher than that of dermal tissue. In this case, the thermal effect predominates in adipose tissue and cell membranes.
In aesthetics, the high frequency of these currents and the power of application causes the sub-epidermal tissues to heat up. The heat causes the temperature to rise from the inside out, where it dissipates.
Bipolar:
In this case, the treatment electrode has an output electrode and a return electrode embedded in the same head, so the current is in constant motion from one pole to the other, reaching a shallower depth than in the previous case.
As a new feature, the Phoenix500 Radiofrequency incorporates a RED LED handpiece (623-730 nm).
Red light acts as an anti-wrinkle treatment and skin rejuvenation therapy. Infrared rays use long wavelengths, allowing them to penetrate deep into the skin. They activate fibroblasts, which are responsible for the formation of collagen and elastin, whose fibers are responsible for the skin matrix and skin maintenance.
