Skin tightening with a combined unipolar and bipolar radiofrequency device.
نویسنده
چکیده
Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) devices are well established treatment modalities for tightening facial skin. A 60-year-old woman presented with a desire to tighten the lax skin and improve the appearance of both upper arms. A combination unipolar and bipolar RF device may provide volume reduction as well as skin tightening in the upper arm.

Clinical, laboratory, and MRI analysis of cellulite treatment with a unipolar radiofrequency device.
BACKGROUND Cellulite is seen in more than 85% of postpubertal women. Recent studies show that bipolar radiofrequency and low-level laser devices can produce mild skin tightening of cellulite. OBJECTIVE The primary objective was to determine if a novel unipolar, more deeply penetrating, radiofrequency device can promote better skin tightening with fewer treatments than is seen with previously ...
متن کاملA novel method for real-time skin impedance measurement during radiofrequency skin tightening treatments.
The thermal effects of monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) have been proven to be beneficial in skin tightening. Nevertheless, these effects were frequently partial or unpredictable because of the uncontrolled nature of monopolar or unipolar RF and the superficial nature of energy flow for bipolar or tripolar configurations. One of the hypotheses for lack or predictability of efficacy of ...

BACKGROUND Loose, lax skin is a common cosmetic complaint. Previous non-invasive skin tightening devices had modest efficacy and were associated with pain or downtime. New technologies may allow for effective skin tightening with a series of radiofrequency (RF) treatments with no downtime. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel bipolar RF device for skin tightening. METHOD...

Periorbital rhytids are often the first signs of aging skin for which young patients seek a non-invasive, no downtime treatment. Recently, several skin-tightening modalities based on deep dermal heating with various energy sources, such as monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency, as well as laser and broadband infrared light sources, have been introduced to treat mild wrinkles and skin laxity. Thi...
متن کاملNoninvasive radio frequency for skin tightening and body contouring.
The medical use of radio frequency (RF) is based on an oscillating electrical current forcing collisions between charged molecules and ions, which are then transformed into heat. RF heating occurs irrespective of chromophore or skin type and is not dependent on selective photothermolysis. RF can be delivered using monopolar, bipolar, and unipolar devices, and each method has theoretical limits ...
