Skin Tightening
Non-surgical Face lift using RF
RF Skin Tightening
AW3® radiofrequency technologies are used to tighten and induce collagen production for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, acne scarring and minimising pores.
The radio frequency produces two or three currents depending on whether it is bipolar or tripolar which alternate high and low frequency currents no less than a thousand times per second. This heats the deeper skin tissues to promote blood circulation to tighten the skin. At the same time, the cooling measures are taken on the skin surface by applying cooling ultrasound gel.
The dermal layer of the skin is heated to maintain a normal temperature. Most of RF energy enters into the deeper dermal layer so that deeper layers of skin can be heated up to 45 ℃ -60 ℃. The dermal layer of the skin becomes thickened, with the new collagen production and the wrinkles are pushed out, so the skin becomes firmer and the contours are lifted.
The Science Behind Non-Surgical Facelift
AW3 BIPOLAR AND TRIPOLAR uses radio frequency energy that causes the water molecules in your tissues to twist and vibrate. This motion causes friction, which creates heat at very specific areas deep in your skin.
This heat subsequently generates a focused wound-healing response that can take up to 4 months to complete, which realigns and regenerates collagen in your skin to replace ageing, sagging skin with fresher, younger skin (a form of Collagen induction therapy).
The AW3 BIPOLAR and TRIPOLAR use two headpieces which provide controlled radiofrequency energy for deep (up to 20mm) and superficial (2 – 6mm) penetration of RF energy.
The TRIpolar handpiece allows deep controlled penetration of RF energy and treats Skin tightening and collagen production by:
1. Tightening the underlying tissues, which in turn causes the production of new collagen and pushes out any wrinkles
2. increased blood circulation to the area to heal and repair the area
The BIpolar handpiece penetrates less deeply into the skin tissue and is ideal for use in facial tightening procedures, where the controlled heating at the desired penetration depth is perfect.
AW3 generally tightens, smoothes and re-contours your skin from the inside out, which also rejuvenates your skin’s firmness and texture.
