devise based on the TriPollar RF technology has been used at the clinic for body and facial treatments. A Large applicator was used for large body areas such as thetummy, thighs and buttocks whereas medium and small applicators were used for smaller areas such as the arms and the face. The specially designed small applicator is optimal for small, delicate facial areas such as naso-labial, perioral and periorbital folds. With theTriPollar technology, the outer surface of the skin remains protected and no activecooling of the electrodes or the skin is required.
Results:
Skin tightening effect is visible in most of the patients immediately after the treatment.This temporary effect indicates the stimulation of a process leading to collagenremodeling. Long term results following several TriPollar treatments indicate facial skinfirming and tightening with softening of wrinkles and fine lines. Significant reduction of circumference and fat deposits was detected in various body areas. The outer surface of the skin remains protected and no active cooling of the electrodes or the skin is required.
Conclusion
The TriPollar treatments stimulate natural fat metabolism and collagen remodeling. Sincethe treatment is safe and pleasant also when applied on areas of loose skin, it is highlyrecommended for patients post pregnancy, post liposuction and post dramatic weightloss. A combination of the TriPollar technology with other aesthetic procedures can becustomized according to patient’s specific indications.
