Radio Frequency Skin Tightening
Radio Frequency (RF) technology is a technique to deliver
heat to the deeper layers of the skin in order to stimulate
collagen formation and contraction. Its goal is to
improve fine lines and skin laxity. It does not affect
the outer cellular layer of the skin and therefore
there is no down time. It is appropriate for all skin
types (I-VI) including darker pigmented people and
all body parts, facial and non-facial.
Truffles Medispa is proud to introduce Aluma
Skin Renewal System with FACES (Functional
Aspiration Controlled Electrothermal Stimulation)
technology. Aluma is unique in offering radio
frequency energy in a targeted and selective manner.
It combines Bipolar RF with vacuum to target heat
safely and virtually painlessly deep in the dermis
for effective wrinkle treatment and skin tightening.
This is different from other RF systems such as
Monopolar systems (Thermage). Monopolar systems use
a grounding pad and while the majority of the energy
is converted to heat at the surface of the skin,
much flows through the body to the grounding pad.
This extraneous flow requires cooling and can be
painful. Other Bipolar RF systems without FACES deliver
the energy primarily across the epidermis and not
deep into the dermis. There is also the potential
danger of arcing.
Aluma with FACES positions the skin for optimum
targeting of the collagen-rich dermal tissues so
RF flows in a straight path through the dermal tissue.
It ensures 100% contact with electrodes to eliminate
the risk of arcing. A coupling medium reduces the
impedance of the epidermis allowing the RF energy
to pass through it without creating heat. As the
RF meets the impedance in the dermis, heat is generated.
This results in safe and effective deep dermal heating
with little or no discomfort.
