What is E-Light (IPL+RF) technology ?
E-Light, combined energy technology, uses Radio Frequency (RF) and Broad Spectrum light
(IPL) energies by the impedance differences between normal and abnormal skin tissue produced
by selective light absorbing principle, it promote the RF transmission while remain a low light
energy and assures greater safety and increases patient comfort.
The light energy in E-Light technology is mainly used for adjusting the impedance values of the
organization and guide the RF (radio frequency) energy in-depth concentration. With the skin
cooling technology, the RF energy can get deeply into the dermis. In the low light conditions, Elight technology can strengthen the target Organization absorption of RF energy, thus avoiding
the problem of main issue of the energy reflection and refraction.
RF energy absorption is not affected by the impact of melanin. It is proofed can be used in dark
skin and light colored sandy hair. The low energy pulsed light can reduce that pain and the risks
of surgery.
Theory of IPL
The system emits a broad spectrum of intense pulsed light through a small, smooth hand piece.
The light is placed over the skin gently. Cut-off filters in the hand piece change the wavelength
range allowing it to be optimized for different applications and skin types. The light penetrates the
tissue absorbed by either the blood when treating vascular lesions or the melanin when treating
pigmented lesions or for hair removal and then damaging them. The body`s natural processes
then remove the injured tissue giving the skin a more even and youthful appearance. And at the
same time, production of the collagen in dermis will be prompted to increase the flexibility of the
skin and get rid of fine wrinkles.
Theory of Radio Frequency Facial Treatment
Radio frequency is also called diathermy(deep heating) which is the system to provide the
treatment by generating the heat from inside the human body. Wrinkles and loose skin can take
its toll on your looks. Even healthy and active people eventually show signs of aging on their
faces. Since it`s the most important visual feature of your body—the one that most people will
recognize you by—it`s important to keep your face fresh and youthful. More and more people
have tried face lifts over the years to combat wrinkles and skin imperfections. Though often
successful, traditional face lifts require minor surgery and prolonged recovery periods. There`s
increasing demand for non-surgical techniques to refresh facial appearances. That`s where radio
frequency face lifts come into play.
A radio frequency emitter is pressed up against the skin. These radio waves get past the outer
skin layers and deliver heat energy to the muscles and tissues beneath. The heat helps to
contract these layers and build up collagen levels. The overall result tightens up the outer layers
of skin and reduces wrinkling effects. Since there`s a lot of heat involved, some cooling must be
applied to the skin at the same time.
The radio frequency face lift was approved by the FDA as a non-surgical treatment for wrinkles
and facial skin imperfections. It is a proven medical procedure that requires no scalpels or
sutures. It`s also a popular choice for busy professionals who care about their looks. The
treatment only takes about an hour, and full recovery is expected in a few days. The results take
a bit of time to show fully though. Some results are visible immediately, while the full results take
a few months to develop as the deep tissue layers heal.
Pure RF energy is used to treat skin laxity by facial tightening, best suited to patients with mild to
moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid thirties to fifties.
It is commonly used to treat the forehead area(lift brows and tightens forehead skin), under the
eyes (thickens skin and tightens and lifts the upper cheek skin), cheeks (lifts slightly and
diminishes enlarged pores), mid-face, jaw line (diminishes jowling and sagging along the jaw
line), and the neck (tightens skin and diminishes wrinkling of the neck).
In combination with other modalities, RF can be used to enhance a variety of treatments including
hair removal, photorejuvenation, pigmented and vascular problems, acne treatment
Work Theroy;
The equipment takes the strong ultrasonic heads to release 30,000Hz (Smaller the numner
more powerful) powerful ultrasonic, speedy vibrates fatiness cells, produces countless
vacuum air pocket in and out of cells, mightily impacts the fatty cells, makes the cell
membrane produce the inner cracking, so as to dissolve the triglyceride to be the glycirin
and free fatty acid.
Cavitation is body sculpting with no anesthesia, no scars, no discomfort, no down-time
and presents a risk-free alternative to liposuction. The result is instant loss of fat cells.
Cavitation is a natural phenomenon based on low frequency ultrasound. The ultrasound
field creates the bubbles in the liquid, which gradually grow, and implode at certain size.
The energy in the form of heat (minor effect) and pressure wave (major effect) is released.
As the membranes of fat cells do not have the structural capacity to withstand the
vibrations, the effect of cavitation easily breaks them, while sparing the vascular, nervous
and muscular tissue. The result is instant fat loss.
The cavitation treatment yields immediate and longlasting results. Most people experience
2 to 10 cm of circumference reduction after a single session with increasing results after
each session . The results may vary with different tissue structure, treatment area, age,
metabolism, medications, and changes in hormones. Proper diet and increased physical
activity will certainly improve and help to maintain the results.
Difference between tripolar bipolar and monopolar Radio frequency
Monopolar RF heats tissue in the treated area rather deeply (usually up to 20 mm) and
thus affects both the skin and subcutaneous fat. Bipolar RF heats tissue in the treated
area less deeply (usually up to 2-4 mm) and thus primarily affects the skin. The patterns of
energy distribution also differ. Whether simultaneous treatment with both types of RF is
additive, synergistic or otherwise in not entirely clear and needs further research. The
manufacturers of monopolar+bipolar devices believe that such combination is synergistic
and allows to reduce the required intensity of each and thus minimize side effects and
possibly increase effectiveness.
While Multipolar combines the electrodes for the monopolar and bipolar RF application in
the same hand piece. It also utilizes sophisticated control algorithms for optimizing the
concurrent application of the two types of RF as well as tailoring the output to a particular
patient and treatment goal.
Benefits of Multipolar RF:
special designed multipolar treatment handpiece. Comparing with the common bipolar
radio frequency, the energy density and effective treatment area produced by multipolar is
10 times more than original bipolar RF. This causes a rapider electrode movement of the
charged ion, a deeper level of the physical heat energy and a more extensive scope.
The high density of the special designed multipolar high radio frequency could enhance
the energy absorption on the given target tissue which lessen the decrease of the total
energy to reach a more comfortable and natural treatment course.
FAQS:
What is ultrasonic cavitation?
It is a relatively new surgical technique that allows to reduce localized fat, breaking the
bonds that form the fat cells, which your body will dispose of through the urinary tract.
Is ultrasonic cavitation painful?
No, cavitation is a painless treatment. Mild redness may appear occasionally but do not
cause pain. The heat caused by the equipment is perfectly tolerable.
Is ultrasonic cavitation a safe treatment?
Yes, it is a nonsurgical procedure without anesthesia, it is non-invasive (no cutting, leaves
no scars or need post-operative course) and it allows to make full social life both before
and after the sessions. But remember always to carefully choose the center where you
undergo it.
Which are the areas where treatment is more effective?
All those areas with localized fat: thighs, abdomen and buttocks are the most appropriate
but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body.
Can you lose weight with ultrasonic cavitation?
Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly
indicated for the reduction of adiposity, the famous "love handles"that won't go away with
diet and exercise.
What are the contraindications of ultrasonic cavitation?
There are no special contraindications, although those with cardiac and vascular
diseases, pacemaker carriers and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid
undergoing it. Always consult a doctor before taking the decision.
Are the results of ultrasonic cavitation similar to those of liposuction?
Yes, because it removes cellulite preventing this from recurring in the treated areas,
without damaging the vascular system.
The fat is a solid substance, how can it be eliminated through the urine?
Because ultrasonic cavitation causes an emulsification of the fat, converting it into a
substance easy to eliminate through the urine and the lymphatic system.
Must you follow any guidelines before or after undergoing ultrasonic cavitation?
We recommend a low calorie diet and drink at least 1.5 liters of water before and after the
session. Drinking water is a necessary part in order to eliminate the fat.
How much time should elapse between one session of ultrasonic cavitations and the
other?
The body eliminates the fat of a session in 72 hours, so we recommend an interval of 4
days between session and session.
How many sessions are usually needed?
Between 8 and 12 sessions, you will be able to appreciate the results from the third
session on.
How can we improve the results?
With the application of gel during the session, based on phosphatidylcholine and carnitine
